  agree. UOB talks quite some time before they issue u the card.
  My worse experience was OCBC, until i filed a complain, then they issue me the card. And worse part...got my name WRONG! Hai...total time taken 3 mths to give me my bloody card. Anyway, going to cancel liao...heehee
  
  But sticking to UOB cos UOB has 3 yrs waiver free

  If you all want good service try Citibank the best I have experienced so far but that also means more annual fee... normal visa is 1 yr $60. But as you travel ard the world, you see more Citibank in other countries so it may make sense to have a Citibank card for travel. M1-Citibank offers real bonus cash for the spending which you can use to offset your handphone bill very worth it. Others can use local ones. I think OCBC is ok. But in terms of eating UOB better.

  Didn't the letter tell you that you can bring down the acknowledgement to any branch if you need immediate activation of the card?
  
  The cards always come without activation for security purposes.
