With responsible use, the UOB One Card gives as much as 5% rebate across ALL expenses. Here's how to stack up your savings with it.
The SingSaver.com.sg team is a huge fan of cashback credit cards. When used correctly, they can save hundreds of dollars a year.
Each cashback card is great for different purposes; some cards are better for petrol, some cards are great for groceries. But there’s one card that is great across all expenses: the UOB One Card.
With up to 5% cashback on all your purchases, it’s no wonder you can save up to S$1,200 a year with the card. That’s almost the price of an iPhone 6S Plus!
Because there’s a tiered system, you’ll get rewarded accordingly to how much you’ve charged to the card. A monthly spend of S$500 to S$1,999 will get you up to 3.33% rebate, while a monthly spend of above S$2,000 will get you up to 5% rebate. However, this is only applicable if there is a consistent spend over a period of three statement months based on your qualifying quarters.
Here’s an example of how much you can save according to amount spent monthly:
Amount Spent Monthly | Cash Rebate % | Amount Earned Monthly | Amount Earned Annually |
| S$500 | Up to 3.33% | S$16.67 | S$200 |
| S$1,000 | Up to 3.33% | S$33.30 | S$400 |
| S$2,000 | Up to 5% | S$100 | S$1,200 |
Save more with UOB One Account and One Card. Enjoy up to 3.33% interest p.a. on savings in UOB One Account with S$500 minimum spend every calendar month on your UOB One Card. The interest on savings also works on a tiered system, as shown below:
Amount in Bank | First S$10,000 | Next S$20,000 | Next S$20,000 | Next S$50,000 |
% Interest when You Spend S$500 on Your UOB One Card | 1% p.a. | 1.5% p.a. | 2% p.a. | 0.05% p.a. |
% Interest when You Spend S$500 on Your UOB One Card AND Credit Your Salary in Account OR Perform 3 Giro Transactions | 1.5% p.a. | 2% p.a. | 3.33% p.a. | 0.05% p.a. |
