It is pretty standard and I can do it on the UOB website with my Singapore credit cards. I guess the only reason is because UOB has not decided to upgrade its Hong Kong website to allow internet access because they don't have sufficient numbers of cardholders. That also explains why they must give more rewards to entice people to come over.

I have recently discovered that you can view your transactions online. Please apply for internet banking here: http://www.uobgroup.com/onlineforms/pib.html

It looks like the page is intended for cards issued in Singapore. Have you tried sending the form anyway? Have they granted you online access to your account?

That's the only reason I applied for the card.

After taking 2 months to process my application, well, u know it, they gave away all the phones (5000 sets).
I finally received my card, but since I realized they gave away all the phones, I called up the service hotline and ask them what i would get.

Today one of the platinum marketing ger called me up:
- offers me to get the other gift, the canon camera
- or get the nintendo DS lite at 280hkd
- or the land line phone set

I have no need of a canon camera, I don't have a landline, and the offer of the DS Lite at 280hkd is much undervalue as compared to the listed price of the ericsson.
So I told the ger that I am simply not going to use the card becuase I do not want any of the three gifts. SCB's exchange rate is one of the worst around and unless I get something I want I won't waste money. 8-P

She's really patience and tried hard. I am not sure what she will propose eventually.
There is already 30thousand points credited into my account for the unfortunate incidence.. I'll see if they did put a proper note in the system and offer me their next choices of gifts. I'll keep my card mint till I see a real gift that I like..

8-P

I got both cards as well. I wanted the NDS Lite though. You can get the camera and sell it

That's usually what I do if I change my mind. Just sold off my PSP and some time before my Ipod Nano.

Darn it. Looked into applying for this card, exactly what I wanted really!

However went into a branch today and was informed that they pulled the card at the end of last year.

Darn it, back to to the drawing board.

sucks !

i tried all phone # to call them, and still cannot reach them

including the lost card number

and try other bank number too

[Vrindavan]

phone # work a again now
it is still a great mystery why it does not work before.

UOB interest free period has been cut down many days, less attractive than before

now best rebate options
Standard Chartered AE
DBS Bank VISA Credit Card

[freeier]

does the interest free period matters so much ?

if you intend to roll over the payment, yes..

if not, then your cash are just sitting there earning 2% p/a for maybe extra 10 days... ?
