| Sign-up promo | RM88 cashback — spend RM200 in 60 days; no annual fee waiver (UOB Simple Card excluded) (via UOB site, to 31 Dec 2026) | RM100 cashback for the first 200 new Amex cardholders each month — apply via Maybank2u/MAE, spend RM300 in 30 days (to 31 Jan 2027) |
| 🔎 What's excluded | Cashback is void for a billing cycle if the Cardmember's net payment is less than that cycle's Minimum Payment Due for any reason (including reversals/stop-payment), if the card/account is cancelled, terminated or suspended, or if the card is converted to any other UOB Malaysia card. | No cashback on government-body payments, JomPAY, FPX and MyCdd transactions or e-wallet reloads; EzyCash, EzyPay Plus, Cash Treats, cash advance and balance transfers are also excluded. |
| 🔎 Min spend to earn | None in the retail-spend sense — this card earns nothing on ordinary retail spend. Cashback only exists as 10% off Eligible Finance Charges (interest on purchases and cash advances), so it's only earned in a cycle where the prior statement's Minimum Payment Due wasn't paid in full. | None — any weekend spend on the Amex card earns 5%, subject to the monthly cap |
| 🔎 How the cap works | No cap in the official T&C — the 10% cashback-on-finance-charges has no monthly or annual ceiling stated anywhere in the 4-page Cashback Programme T&C. | 5% weekend cashback capped at RM50 per principal cardmember per month, credited on the 1st of the following month; amounts under RM1.00 are not paid out. |
| 🔎 Foreign transaction fee | 1% UOB foreign-exchange conversion markup on the converted Ringgit Malaysia amount, plus a Visa/Mastercard International administration charge of up to 1.22% — per UOB Malaysia's general Credit Card/Commercial Card PDS (covers the Simple Card by name). | Converted at the Amex/Visa/Mastercard rate plus a 1% Maybank charge |
Comparing cards — FAQ
Pick a card in each dropdown above and the table shows both side by side — reward type, cashback rate, monthly cap, annual fee, income requirement, network, perks, current promo and any verified fine print. The better value on each objectively-comparable row is highlighted. Your selection is saved in the page link, so you can share the exact comparison.
Both. A high rate with a low monthly cap can earn less than a moderate rate with a generous cap. That's why the table shows the rate and the cap side by side, and our cashback calculator combines them with your actual spend to find the true winner.
Fine-print rows (exclusions, minimum spend, cap mechanics, foreign-transaction fee) appear as they're verified for each card from the official Product Disclosure Sheet. Where a row is blank, check the card's page and the bank's official terms. We never guess these details.
