SKIP ITHonest take

Entry Visa ng BDO para sa mababang income, pero halos walang rewards ayon sa data.

Bottom line: Kailangan mo ba ng simpleng card na mababa ang requirements? Puwede ito, pero hindi ka kikita nang malaki. Skip kung may ibang option ka.

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

Rewards na ~₱0 lang ang nakukuha ng typical household (~₱825k a year). Negative ang net sa travel, ~-₱1,500, kasi 2.50% ang fee sa foreign transactions, galing sa data. Ang ₱1,800 na annual fee ay galing din sa data, dahil wala ito sa BDO page. Sa ranking na 123 cards, #93 ang puwesto nito, at 22 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 membership sa first year.
  • Mababa ang hinihinging income: ₱15,000 gross fixed monthly, edad 21 hanggang 60, at mandatory ang ITR.
  • 0% interest installment at over 20,000 stores.

What's bad

  • 1 Peso Point per ₱1,000 lang ang earn, galing sa data. The page lists Peso Points without a rate.
  • The page lists no insurance or lounge.
  • Per the Peso Rewards T&C 3(f), hindi nag-e-earn ng points ang bills na binayaran via Auto Charge o Charge on Demand. Hindi pinangalanan ang direct bill payments.

The catch: Ang foreign fee at earn rate ay galing din sa data. Ayon sa T&C 3(g) at FAQ Q3, kada transaction kino-compute ang points at tinatanggal ang fractions, kaya malamang walang points ang swipe na wala pang ₱1,000. Visa ang na-score namin.
