UOB Quietly Closed Two of Its Best Miles Cards to New Applicants — Here's What to Get Instead (2026)

RaymondRates.my5 min read

Search "UOB PRVI Miles Card" or "UOB Zenith Card" and you'll find both all over Google. What most of that content doesn't say: UOB's own product pages state neither is accepting new applications. Existing cardholders keep everything. Anyone applying fresh is applying for an option that no longer exists.

UOB PRVI Miles Card — closed, replaced by PRVI Miles Elite

UOB's page states plainly that applications are no longer accepted; it's superseded by the PRVI Miles Elite Card — a genuinely better card by the numbers:

  • Better conversion ratio. Closed card: 20,000:1,000 UNIRinggit to miles. Elite: 12,000:1,000 — about 67% more miles per point.
  • Higher verified earn rate. 0.083 miles/RM1 on Elite versus 0.05 on the closed card, for local spend.
  • The cost: a higher fee and income bar. Elite: RM600/yr (waived at RM50,000/yr spend), RM60,000 income. Closed card: RM198/yr, same income floor.

The card page is still live and still gets indexed — closed to new applications isn't the same as taken offline.

UOB Zenith Card — closed, no direct successor

Zenith is UOB's older ultra-premium tier: RM1,000/yr, RM192,000 minimum income, relationship bonuses up to 50% of annual UNIRinggit. UOB's page confirms it's closed too. No direct successor, but the closest match in verified terms is the UOB Visa Infinite Metal Card, which out-earns Zenith: 0.2 miles/RM1 against 0.135.

One caveat. UOB lists Visa Infinite Metal as by invitation only — not something you can apply for on demand like PRVI Miles Elite. Right comparison for "what earns more," not necessarily "what you can get today."

What this means if you're comparing cards now

Both closed cards still rank in search and still appear in roundups written before the closure. If the Apply button leads to a rejection, that's usually why. Our air miles comparison flags both with a closed notice instead of a working Apply button, ranked below every card you can still get.
