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

Search "UOB PRVI Miles Card" or "UOB Zenith Card" and you'll find both all over Google — review sites, comparison tables, forum threads recommending them. What most of that content doesn't say: UOB's own product pages state neither card is accepting new applications. Existing cardholders keep everything they have. Anyone trying to apply fresh is applying for a card that no longer exists as an option.

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

UOB's product page for the original PRVI Miles Card states plainly that applications are no longer accepted; it's been superseded by the PRVI Miles Elite Card. This isn't just a rebrand — the replacement is a genuinely better card by the numbers we track:

• The conversion ratio improved. The closed card converts UNIRinggit to airline miles at 20,000:1,000. PRVI Miles Elite converts at 12,000:1,000 — the same number of points now buys about 67% more miles.
• The verified earn rate is higher. Working out to 0.083 miles per RM1 on Elite versus 0.05 miles per RM1 on the closed card, for ordinary local spend.
• The cost is a higher fee and income bar. PRVI Miles Elite runs RM600/yr (waived at RM50,000/yr spend) against RM60,000 minimum income, versus the closed card's RM198/yr and RM60,000 income floor — Elite asks more upfront for the better rate.

UOB Zenith Card — closed, no direct like-for-like successor

Zenith is UOB's older ultra-premium tier: RM1,000/yr, RM192,000 minimum income, relationship bonuses that scale up to 50% of annual UNIRinggit with years held. UOB's own page confirms it's closed to new applications too. Unlike PRVI Miles, there's no direct 1:1 successor UOB points new applicants to — but the closest match in verified miles-per-ringgit terms is the UOB Visa Infinite Metal Card, which actually out-earns Zenith: 0.2 miles per RM1 against Zenith's 0.135.

What this means if you're comparing cards right now

Both closed cards still rank in search results, still appear on comparison sites, and still show up in "best miles card" roundups written before the closure. If a card's Apply button leads to a rejection or a redirect, that's usually why. Our own air miles comparison flags both cards with a closed-to-new-applications notice rather than a working Apply button, and ranks them below every card you can actually get today.
