Frequently asked questions
Does Apple Pay or Google Pay count as contactless?
Yes — tapping your phone or watch at a physical terminal is mobile contactless. That's exactly what UOB Preferred Visa's 4 mpd rewards.
Does tapping my physical card earn the same bonus?
Not on UOB Preferred Visa — plastic taps earn base rate only; it must be your phone or watch. HSBC Revolution pays its bonus on both.
Do in-app wallet payments count?
No — paying inside an app with Apple Pay or Google Pay is online spend, not contactless, and it's excluded from some online bonuses too (notably Citi Rewards).
