For the Luxe Shopper: UOB Lady’s Credit Card
Men won’t get why women would need a credit card specifically for them, but UOB certainly does. The iconic black UOB Lady’s credit card with its statement rose motif is a comely addition to your wallet, for one. The perks and rewards are a ladykiller.
Why You’ll Love It:
Perhaps a more suitable question is: Why wouldn’t you? Every S$5 you spend on shopping, whether in Singapore, overseas or online, you earn UNI$5. The same applies for taxi rides. With this card, you also enjoy Mastercard wine privileges and free weekend parking.
How many times have you bought yourself an early birthday or Christmas present? While we advocate prudence with your finances, it’s ok to treat yourself on special occasions.
When you put a big-ticket shoe or bag purchase (over S$500) on UOB Lady’s interest-free LuxePay plan, it splits the cost over six or 12 months at no extra interest. Isn’t that great?
