BY INVITATION ONLYHonest take

Invite-only ito, ayon sa page, at mataas ang fee para sa 10 lounge entries, from our data.

Bottom line: Na-invite ka ba at madalas kang lumipad? May tunay na value ang lounge at insurance. Kung hindi, mas sulit ang card na mas mababa ang fee.

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

Kapag may invite ka, ang typical household (~₱825k a year) ay may rewards na ~₱500. ₱95,190 ang yearly fee at walang waiver, parehong galing sa data.

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

  • May 10 free lounge o dining entitlements sa Mastercard Travel Pass.
  • Hanggang $2M ang family travel insurance, plus 24-hour concierge at purchase protection hanggang $3,000.
  • Reduced ang foreign exchange conversion fee: 1.85%, mababa para sa gamit abroad.
  • Ayon sa FAQ, hindi mag-e-expire ang points habang active at current ang card.

What's bad

  • Per the page, 1 Peso Point per ₱1,000 ang earn, kaya manipis ang rewards.
  • Para sa personal use lang ang airport transfer simula April 1, 2026.
  • Per the Peso Rewards T&C, hindi nag-e-earn ng points ang bills na binayaran via Auto Charge o Charge on Demand.

The catch: Wala sa BDO page ang annual fee, kaya from our data ang ₱95,190. Depende sa dalas ng lipad mo kung magagamit mo ang lahat ng 10 lounge entries. Per the T&C at FAQ, per transaction ang compute ng points at tinatanggal ang fractions, kaya malamang walang earn ang swipe na below ₱1,000.

Score breakdown

  • Yearly value0 / 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

      About ₱500 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 waivers0 / 16

      A ₱95,190 fee that banks rarely waive at this level. How the bars work

    • Travel and perks on the default spend4 / 10

      About ₱2,000 of travel value on one trip abroad a year, after the 1.85% foreign fee. It includes lounge visits (each person in a household of three who gets in counts) and travel insurance, though insurance counts only a little toward this figure and the score. How the bars work

  • Promos and 0% installments14 / 15
