UOB, American Express pilot unlimited cashback card

The card has a flat cashback earn rate of 1.7%.

UOB and American Express have launched the UOB Absolute Cashback American Express Card, designed for consumers who want unlimited cashback on all card spend.

“Given the disruptions of COVID-19 to the economy in 2020 and increased expenses for necessities such as groceries and utilities, more consumers are looking for financial solutions to help them draw more value from their spend. More than 70% of new UOB credit card sign-ups in 2020 were for cashback cards, up from 45% in 2019,” said UOB head of group personal financial services Jacquelyn Tan.

With a flat earn rate of 1.7%, this is the first credit card by a local bank that offers customers cashback on insurance, school fees, hospitals, rent and wallet top-ups which are typically not eligible for rewards and cashback.

The card has no spend exclusions, minimum spend requirement, or a cap on the cashback earned.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
