Pros & cons

Pros

Cons

Generous air miles earnings: The card offers competitive air miles earn rates, particularly for overseas spending (up to 3 miles per S$1) and bookings via designated platforms (up to 8 miles per S$1 on Agoda and Expedia through the UOB PRVI Miles website). This allows users to accumulate miles quickly on their travel-related expenses.


Complimentary airport lounge access: Principal cardholders receive 4 complimentary airport lounge visits per calendar year, providing comfort and convenience during travel.


Complimentary travel protection: Travel accident insurance worth up to $500,000; emergency medical assistance, evacuation and repatriation coverage worth $50,000; savings on travel insurance fees


No cap on miles earned: Unlike some other cards, there is no limit to the number of UNI$ (which can be converted to miles) that cardholders can earn. 


Relatively low minimum income requirement: With a minimum annual income requirement of S$30,000 (or the option to secure it with a S$10,000 fixed deposit), the card is relatively accessible compared to premium travel cards.

Local spending earn rate: The earn rate for local currency spending (1.4 miles per S$1) is decent but not the highest available in the market.


Conversion fees: A fee of S$25 is involved when converting UNI$ to air miles with partner programs, which can add to the overall cost of redeeming miles.


Booking restrictions for higher miles: The higher earn rates of up to 8 miles per S$1 are specifically tied to hotel and flight bookings made through Agoda and Expedia via the UOB PRVI Miles website, limiting flexibility in booking platforms.




 

Who is this card for

The UOB PRVI Miles Card is ideal for entry-level to intermediate travel enthusiasts who frequently spend overseas, as it offers up to 3 miles per S$1 on such transactions. It particularly benefits those who book accommodations and flights through Agoda and Expedia via the UOB PRVI Miles website, where they can earn up to 8 miles per S$1. 

The card also provides 4 complimentary airport lounge visits annually and allows for unlimited UNI$ accumulation, which can be converted to air miles with various partners. With a relatively accessible S$30,000 minimum income requirement (or a S$10,000 fixed deposit option), it's a strong choice for individuals prioritising air mile rewards and some travel perks without the high minimum spending thresholds of premium cards.

The UOB PRVI Miles World Mastercard excels for frequent travelers who want to accumulate miles quickly.It offers a solid earn rate of 1.4 miles per S$1 spent locally and an even more attractive 2.4 miles per S$1 on overseas spending. Furthermore, cardholders can accelerate their miles accumulation to 6 miles per S$1 when booking major airlines and hotels through designated platforms like Agoda, Expedia, and UOB Travel. This focused approach on travel-related spending makes it a compelling option for those prioritising air mile rewards.

In contrast to the UOB PRVI Miles World Mastercard's travel focus, the Standard Chartered Journey card offers broader appeal with bonus rewards on transport, online groceries, and food delivery (capped at S$1,000 per category monthly), enhancing its versatility for daily expenses. Its key advantages include uncapped local and overseas miles earning and the perpetual validity of 360° Rewards Points, providing greater flexibility. While it also offers travel insurance and airport lounge access, the UOB PRVI Miles World Mastercard boasts superior earn rates for specific travel bookings.

In comparison, the Citi PremierMiles Card offers the advantage of non-expiring Citi Miles and a wider range of airline and hotel transfer partners for redemption flexibility. However, its general local earn rate is slightly lower at 1.2 miles per S$1. While it also provides 2 complimentary lounge visits and travel insurance, it lacks the UOB PRVI Miles card's higher earn potential on specific travel platforms and the greater number of lounge access.
