SKIP ITHonest take

Para sa Alipay at WeChat ito. 1 Peso Point per ₱1,000 lang ang everyday earn, from our data.

Bottom line: Madalas ka ba sa Alipay o WeChat? Doon lang may sense ang card. Kung hindi, skip.

Read the full take: the math, what's good, what hurts

Para sa typical household (~₱825k a year), ~₱0 lang ang rewards, at ~-₱500 ang net travel value. Ayon sa page, free ang fee for the first 3 years. Pagkatapos nito, ₱5,000 (from our data), waived automatically kapag nag-spend ka ng ₱600,000 a year. #65 ang puwesto nito sa open list ng 123 cards; 26 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

  • Libre ang transaction fees sa Alipay at WeChat, at 1.65% lang ang singil sa foreign spend.
  • Libre ang membership sa first 3 years.
  • May family travel insurance na up to ₱20M.

What's bad

  • 1 Peso Point per ₱1,000 lang ang earn, kaya thin ang balik; wala sa page ang rate.
  • Kailangan ng ₱93,000 a month na gross fixed income, at mandatory ang ITR.
  • Per the Peso Rewards T&C, walang points ang Auto Charge bills.

The catch: Hindi nasasaklaw ng aming data ang 3-year free fee, kaya mas mababa ang starting fee kaysa sa ipinapakita nito. Wala sa page ang annual fee, kaya kinuha namin ang ₱5,000 from our data.

  • Yearly value6 / 63

    These bars compare each part with other cards on its own, so they don't add up to Yearly value. How it is scored

    • Rewards on the default spend1 / 37

      Under ₱250 a year in rewards on the typical household's spend, after caps and the foreign fee on foreign online spend. How the bars work

    • Annual fee after waivers16 / 16

      The ₱5,000 fee is waived automatically at ₱600,000 of yearly spend, which the typical household reaches. How the bars work

    • Travel and perks on the default spend2 / 10

      About −₱500 of travel value on one trip abroad a year, after the 1.65% foreign fee. It includes travel insurance, though insurance counts only a little toward this figure and the score. How the bars work

  • Promos and 0% installments13 / 15

    0% installment network: strong. Promos: strong, judged by what a typical household would likely save from the promos this card gets, past and current, with 26 live promos tracked. How it is scored

  • Points flexibility1 / 10

    Bank points with no airline partner that do not expire. It counts for less here because the card earns little back on this spend. How it is scored

  • Credit limit and upgrade path2 / 5

    No standard card level. The score also reflects how BDO handles credit limit increases and card upgrades. How it is scored

  • App and service3 / 5

  • Late fee1 / 2

    A late fee of ₱850 for one missed payment. How it is scored
