The UOB Visa Infinite Metal Card has been offering an 80,000 miles welcome bonus for some time now, ever since its refresh in June 2023 which buffed the overseas earn rate to 2.4 mpd and added an unlimited-visit DragonPass membership for the cardholder and one guest.
This offer has been periodically renewed, and the latest extension sees it offered for applications up till 31 August 2025.
UOB Visa Infinite Metal Card 80,000 miles welcome offer
Table of Contents
From now till 31 August 2025, new UOB Visa Infinite Metal Cardholders who pay the S$654 annual fee and spend at least S$4,000 within 30 days of approval will receive:
| New customers | Existing customers | |
| Pay S$654 annual fee | 25,000 miles | 25,000 miles |
| Spend S$4,000 within 30 days of approval | 55,000 miles | 15,000 miles |
| Total | 80,000 miles | 40,000 miles |
Unlike most UOB sign-up offers, there is no cap on the number of eligible applicants.
New customers are defined as those who:
- do not currently hold any principal UOB credit cards, and
- have not cancelled a principal UOB credit card in the past six months prior to the commencement of the promotion period
Given the S$654 annual fee, you’re basically paying 0.82 cents (new) or 1.64 cents (existing) per mile. Back when S$200 Grab vouchers were thrown into the mix, the value was even better, but now I’d only consider it if I met the new customer criteria.
Bonus miles are awarded on top of the regular base miles, so if you spent the entire S$4,000 on local spend at 1.4 mpd, you’ll have a total of 85,600 miles (new-to-bank) or 45,600 miles (existing).
What counts as qualifying spend?
A minimum qualifying spend of S$4,000 must be clocked within 30 days of approval.
Eligible transactions include all retail transactions in local or foreign currency, and a full list of exclusions can be found at point 1.5 of the T&Cs.
The key exclusions to highlight are:
- Charitable donations
- Government payments
- Hospitals
- Insurance
- ipaymy
- Prepaid account top-ups (e.g. GrabPay or YouTrip)
- Utilities
- UOB Payment Facility
For avoidance of doubt, CardUp and education transactions are eligible to earn miles, and will count towards minimum spend.
Supplementary cardholder spending will be pooled with the principal cardholder’s in determining if the minimum spend has been met. And before you say “isn’t that obvious?”, remember that UOB is not above such shenanigans.
When will the bonus be credited?
The 25,000 miles for paying the annual fee will be credited (in the form of 12,500 UNI$) two months after the annual fee is posted.
The additional 55,000/15,000 miles for new/existing customers will be credited (in the form of 27,500/7,500 UNI$) two months after the annual fee is posted.
Terms and Conditions
The full T&Cs for this offer can be found here.
What can you do with UNI$?
UNI$ transfer to frequent flyer programs at a 1:2 ratio, with a minimum transfer block of 5,000 UNI$ (let’s ignore AirAsia, because converting points there is like throwing them away):
| Frequent Flyer Programme | Conversion Ratio (UNI$: Partner) |
 |
5,000 : 10,000 |
 |
5,000 : 10,000 |
 |
2,500 : 4,500 |
UOB Visa Infinite Metal Cardholders enjoy a waiver of the usual S$25 conversion fee, and since UNI$ pool, you can use the Visa Infinite Metal Card as a conduit to convert UNI$ earned on other UOB cards for free too.
Annual lounge visits will be removed from 2026
If you’re planning to apply for this card, you should be aware that from 1 June 2026the UOB Visa Infinite Metal Card will no longer offer unlimited DragonPass lounge visits, together with one guest. Instead, the entitlement will be capped at 12x visits per 12-month membership period.
UOB is providing plenty of notice, so you still have slightly less than one year to enjoy the perk. However, do remember that UOB has also quietly added a cooldown period of at least four hours between DragonPass utilisations, which makes lounge hopping close to impossible.

Conclusion
The UOB Visa Infinite Metal Card has extended its 80,000 miles sign-up offer till 31 August 2025. A minimum spend of S$4,000 is required, but it does include education expenses, a commonly-excluded category.
With the bonus miles and other benefits, it could still be worth considering for new-to-bank customers- at least for the first year. From the second year onwards, you’ll have to decide whether the ongoing perks make renewal worthwhile, and with the loss of the monthly Grab vouchers, the case becomes more marginal.
