Why pick it: Miles and ₱10M family insurance, ₱33k/mo income

- Rank
- #25 of 123
- Annual fee
- ₱3,000
Miles card na mababa ang income bar. Malaki ang foreign fee, galing sa data, at kakaunti ang tumatanggap.
Bottom line: Gusto mo ng Diners miles? Pwede ito kung local ang lahat ng spend mo. Kung madalas kang abroad, hindi ito bagay.
Read the full take: the math, what's good, what hurts
Sa typical household (~₱825k a year), ang balik ay ~₱5,000, plus ~₱500 na net travel value pagkatapos ng foreign fee (2.50%, galing sa data). #25 ang puwesto nito sa open list ng 123 cards; 46 ang score.
The numbers in this take are our estimates for a typical household, not bank policy. Check fees and waivers with the bank.
What's good
- 1 Travel Mile per ₱50. Pwede mong i-transfer sa Asia Miles o PAL Mabuhay Miles, galing sa data.
- Travel insurance na hanggang ₱10M para sa family.
- Mababa ang income requirement: ₱33,000 a month.
- Free ang first-year membership fee.
What's bad
- Malaki ang foreign fee (2.50%), galing sa data.
- Kakaunti ang tumatanggap ng Diners sa Pilipinas, galing sa data.
- Per the Travel Miles T&C, walang miles ang Auto Charge bills.
The catch: Per the page, 'select cardholders' lang ang may 2 free lounge visits hanggang December 31, 2026. Hindi kasama ang lounge perk sa data. Wala rin sa page mismo ang annual fee, kaya galing sa data ang ₱3,000. Ang ~₱5,000 ay estimate namin kung i-convert mo ang Travel Miles sa airline miles.
