Basically, you’ll earn and save while doing what you already love: eating, shopping, and exploring JB.

Redeem UNI$ instantly at over 150 JB merchant outlets

What are UNI$?

UNI$ are reward points you earn when using your UOB Credit Cards on eligible spend categories

Earn UNI$ 1 with every S$5 spend on your card and redeem rewards you love. With the UNI$ programme, redeem for things you love, pay your bills, or auto convert to cash rebates.

Check the UOB TMRW app (App Store | Google Play) Rewards+ tab and tap on “My Rewards” to keep track of how much UNI$ you have.

What rewards can you redeem UNI$ for?

If you’ve been saving up your UNI$, now’s the time to put them to use. These can be used to redeem over 1,000 rewards across dining, fashion, home and electronics, hotel stays and more.

Alternatively, you can use it to offset your spend instantly at KrisPay, SP Utilities and other e-commerce platforms.

But it’s not just available in Singapore – UOB Cardmembers can now enjoy instant UNI$ redemptions across over 150 participating merchant outlets in Johor too. When it comes to MYR redemptions, the current redemption rate is SGD5 – or equivalent in MYR – for every UNI$500.

Simply offset your purchases right at the checkout counter for instant savings.
