UOB Welcome Offer: Get S$60 + Sony Headphones With UOB One Card

New to UOB credit cards or cancelled your last one more than 12 months ago? Here’s a welcome promo that offers you S$60 vouchers (or S$50 cash) on top of UOB’s gift of a Sony heaphones retailing for S$589!

Promo Details

To qualify, sign up below as a new cardholder to UOB. Note that you have to pay the first-year annual fee of S$196.20 when it is charged to your card after approval.

After signing up, remember to fill up the SingSaver Rewards Redemption form to choose between vouchers or cash (the headphones will not be indicated on the form as they are given by UOB). Thereafter, make a minimum spend of S$1,000 within 30 days from card approval.

For the avoidance of doubt, there is no limit to the number of eligible applicants for the headphones promo. There is an alternative promo for S$350 cash, and that is limited to the first 200 applicants starting from 1st August 2024.

Good promo?

UOB new cardholder promos have largely been for the first 200 or so each month, leading to uncertainty whether you’d get the promo. Occasionally, they offer promos that come without such caps and that is when it’s a good time to apply.

While the headphones retail for S$589, we have to apply a haircut to the price since it is quite easy to buy it for under this amount. I would personally value this model at S$400. Together with S$60 of vouchers, the welcome gifts are valued at around S$460. After subtracting the S$196.20 annual fee, the net gain is S$263.80. As far as UOB promos go, this isn’t too bad.

Since you can only qualify for one or the other, this UOB One promo competes with UOB PRVI’s offer of 45,200 bonus miles. If you are able to meet the spend requirements and are okay/happy to receive miles for your gift, I would suggest going for UOB PRVI’s promo instead as the overall value seems better.

I’d do a more in-depth look at it (so subscribe for updates), but the summary is that I think 45,200 miles are more valuable than the Sony headphones, especially if you don’t want the headphones to begin with.

What to spend on?

You need to meet the minimum spend to qualify for rewards. Do note that there are transactions which are excluded. Read the terms and conditions carefully when applying.

Generally, retail transactions like buying stuff or dining out are very safe. Things like bill payments, education expenses and CardUp or ipaymy become a lot iffier and depends on the bank your card is from.
