All About Credit Cards in the Philippines

I have 3 Credit cards.
BPI Blue Mastercard - no perks, pangit to, my first cc
Citi Simplicity - no annual fee forever
Citi Rewards - no annual fee forever din, no expiring reward points, then pwede ka pa mag send ng payment from this credit card to other bank accounts, as if it's a debit card! They call it CitiPayAll. May fee sila minsan, but as of this writing, walang fee ang pag gamit ng CitiPayAll.

FYI lang sa iba na need tumawag sa BPI, CITI, EASTWEST bank to waive their annual fees.

You can call them using Viber app for free!



BPI +18002251202 or +18666989100

Citibank +18002484263

EastWest +18668286296

Sir..thank you..sobrang hassle nga sa BPI kase landline di ba..buti pwede na sa Viber
Thanks for Sharing..

ang advise ko ..pwede tawagan para ipa waive ang annual fee..or kung revolver ka..you will get enough points para libre renew..
kung regular user ka naman..sa bills at grocery..pwede na kesa sa cash..nasa disiplina lang talaga
 
yung sa case ko,,malimit ko gamitin dati sa online purchase yung payroll debit card ko,,and hindi nagtagal inofferan na nila ako ng credit card since napapansin nila na debit yung gamit ko madalas sa mga transaction,,
I see. I don't much online transactions kaya siguro wala ako offer. LOL. Thanks!
I’d suggest na dun sa may savings ka talaga na mostly e deposit lang ung txn. Ganyan nangyari sa BDO ko nung nag apply ako sa branch nung home loan ko. Kaya sabi iwaive na requirements kasi ieendorse na nila directly. Mostly deposit lang and ung kaltas is ung sa loan and I always maintain it more than 200K sa acct na to. Kaya ayun first time kong ma approve sa BDO.
Savings ko kasi is nasa digital banks. And I don't store them on trad banks anymore ang use lang saken ng mga banks is for transferring and minimizing transfer fees. I guess hindi pa for me ang CC. Thanks though!
 
Update 11/01/2022

I also now have;

Unionbank classic - no annual fee for life, perks is every time na gamitin sya, mag eearn ng points and Play Codes. Play Codes can be used sa online game nila for a chance to win some prizes. Ganitong ganito yung play codes ng Citi. I guess ginaya nila yung Citi after nila ito ma acquire.


RCBC Flex - no annual fee for life, perks is UnliPay nila. Same lang ng sa Citi PayAll, that you can send money sa ibang bank accounts. Earn points din.

Citi Cashback - earn Cashback points, pero may annual fee sya na 4500. I'm planning to close this in the future.

So bali may 6 credit cards na ako. Ang madalas ko lang gamitin is UnionBank classic, Citi Rewards, and yung RCBC Flex ko.

Ah kaya pala. Easiest way ung sa trad bank savings if you wanted to have one. Very useful lalo pag nasa city almost cashless. Waiting ako na ma enable Apple Pay para via Apple Watch nalang payments.

UnionBank Classic Visa, Rcbc Flex, tapos Citi Cashback. So 6 na lahat ng CC ko tol.


Ayoko na dagdagan. Mejo na-ADHD ako sa kaka apply dahil sa mga promos na NAFFL . Pero sobrang hirap din imeet naman nung minimum spend pag 30k up yung requirements. So tigil na talaga ako sa pag apply.

Dami brother! I can’t imagine myself doing that haha! Max of 2-3 for me is fine basta mataas CL.

Totoo bro. Hindi talaga maganda ang masyadong madaming credit card. So sa iba pong makabasa ng post namin, alamin nyo po muna ang mga benefits ng CC, make sure na yun talaga gusto nyo before applying.

My target would be just as follows:

1. BDO Visa Gold (current and first CC) - so far it does cover everything I need naman kasi mejo malaki initial CL

2. RCBC Hexagon - eto talaga need ko due to its unli installment tsaka ung ability to pay other CC bills

3. Maybe a CC with NAFFL? (Not sure with this yet)
 
Ilang beses na akong nag apply ng CC sa different banks pero declined ako lage. Maayos naman trabaho ko ok naman payslip ko. Bakit kaya.

subukan mo bossing gamitin yung payroll debit card mo pang purchase thru online transactions if willing ka,,para mapansin ng bank mo,,ganyan ako dati,,ginamit ko madalas sa online purchase si debit,,at di nagtagal si bank na mismo nagbigay sakin ng CC ng walang requirements :D
 
mga boss sino pala dito naka metrobank CC?
recently inalis ata nila sa dashboard yung CC account,,debit lang natira sakin,,hirap tuloy ako ngayon magmonitor ng mga pumasok na transactions,,saka ko lang nakikita kapag nagsend na ng SOA,,dati every +1day after transaction nakikita ko na yun thru dito sa dashboard mapa web or mobile app,,pero ngayon nawala,,any idea or may niluluto silang bagong app kaya nawala :think:

Thank you for sharing yung Viber ng BPI, those numbers work and able to speak with them kanina lang about waiving of annual fee.

I actually never bothered waiving AF for 4 years that I've owned their Blue Mastercard, simply because I didn't know. I can't recall kung na-explain sakin nung nag-open ako cc or hindi ko naintindihan o hindi nakikinig 😅 kanina lang talaga nung nagbabasa ako dito then researched further about it at 'yun nga may waive waive palang eme. Unfortunately, nitong year lang ako gumagastos since I set aside agad mga salaries ko sa Passbook, kaya onti lang din binigay options sakin for waiving AF.
  1. Convert to 12 Months Payment 0% Interest
  2. Get a Supplementary Card
  3. Apply for Loan
#2 and #3 aren't an option for me. Don't need those at the moment.
Yung #1 is napag isip-isip ko ay it's really not WAIVE but pinaliit lang yung AF mo in a form of monthly payment instead of isang bagsakan na bayad for the whole year. I politely asked more sa kausap ko kanina but she got no answer for me about #1, 'di nalang ako nangulit.

Another lesson, try and try with your bank na ma waive AF.

BPI is my only bank (Checkbook, Passbook, Regular Savings, Payroll and Credit Card (+BPI eCredit Card)). Tama ka po dun sa cc nila, hindi ko ramdam perks at yung rate ng Real Thrill Rewards nila parang hindi makatarungan; or baka hindi pa ako ganun ka knowledgeable sa rates ng mga bank rewards.

But since I only have experience with BPI since nung Student Blue Card pa nila (Maya Savings?) kaya lahat na ng Savings and Checking accounts ko sa BPI ko narin pinagawa, but now I think I should explore other banks, find banks that have better perks like PNB-PAL Mabuhay Miles World Mastercard (na I heard mas madali Peso Spend = Mile Points nila) or yung promo ng Metrobank na Trip-for-3 sa Japan etc. I'm a frequent traveler so I want to find the best card for travelling. Right now still researching, researching and researching...


Tanong ko lang guys, okay lang ba mag link ng cc sa paypal? Ginagawa niyo ba yon?
Yes po, okay naman. I linked my Blue Mastercard Credit Card duon sa PayPal before, then when BPI offered me the eCredit Card, inunlink ko na yung cc ko sa PayPal since I prefer to use the eCredit Card for online purchases. If you have BPI cc and often do online purchases, then goods yung eCredit Card (but it has limits since sa mismong Credit Card mo rin siya mababawas). Lot of sites, games and platform where PayPal is one of payment option kaya goods rin to have PayPal. I still have mine but GCash Mastercard and GCash American Express naka-link.




Another thing that I've heard is — madali daw makakuha ng higher or premium cards if marami kang credit/debit cards; aside form getting good credit score or unless you have lot of funds for higher cards. Not sure about this so...

Sub po ako on this thread at baka makapulot pa ako ng kaalaman with Credit Cards.

I'm glad nakatulong po ako, 🙏
 
Sir, kumusta cc ng Union Bank? Kaka-open ko lang ng savings account, plan ko din mag-apply ng cc sa kanila.
 
Paano ma approve ang Credit Card application sa Citi Bank. May CC ako as supplementary ng sa misis ko sa BPI. Gusto ko sana yung no annual fees

Ang alam ko, dapat 6 to 1 year credit card holder po para ma approved sa CITI REWARDS.
Pede mo sir subukan yung CITI SIMPLICITY, parang mas madaling ma approve po dun.

May link din po ako for referral.

Okay naman po sya sir. May mga pa promo sya and rewards.

Not sure if NO ANNUAL FEE FOREVER sya ngayon.
 
May CC ako ng Home Credit. Maliit lang CL pero gamit ko siya pang grocery at sa negosyo kong load. 5% less kasi binabayaran sa kanila pag nagpaload ka :D

May Revi Credit din ako. All digital lang xa from CIMB. Pwede ka gumawa ng temporary CC info pag may bibilhin ka online. Pwede din iconvert into money or Gcash yung credit. Mas convenient xa para sa akin. Di ko pa nga lang nakuha physical card niya. Pero para sa akin no need na yung physical card kasi pwede naman ngayon scan-scan nalang ng QR. :)
 
Sa experience ninyo, ano ang best CC? Gusto ko rin sana niyan para maka-avail ng smartphones.
 
Ask ko lang may effect ba yung pag apply ko ng credit card sa di ko na binayaran na balance sa isang telco? di ko din kasi napakinabangan yung telco internet
