Cashback Cards
Banks tend to be disingenuous with cashback earn rates, so I have marked out a few of the cards below.
UOB One, for instance, advertises a 10% earn rate for public transportation rides, but you would often earn a mere 3.33% for most other spend, decreasing your effective cashback yield a fair bit. If you meet the minimum spend solely on bus/train rides, your effective yield is 8.33%.
Note that you also have to fulfil the minimum spend and spend conditions (if any) on almost all of these cards.
