5% cashback sa most categories, pero capped sa ₱1,500 a month.

Bottom line: May hawak ka na bang ibang card for over a year? Ayos ito hanggang sa cap, kasi 5% ang balik sa most categories. Pagkalampas ng cap, ibang card na lang para sa natitira.

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

Kumikita ng ~₱16,000 ang spend ng typical household (~₱825k a year) dito, pero ~₱0 ang travel value kasi kinakain ito ng foreign fee (2.50%, galing sa data). Galing sa data ang ₱3,000 na fee, hindi sa page. Puwede kang humiling ng waiver, pero sa bank ang desisyon. #7 ito sa 123 open cards, 66 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

  • Family cashback card ito: 5% ang balik sa most categories, hanggang ₱1,500 a month.
  • Hanggang 10 supplementary cards, at walang annual fee ang supplementary cardholders, per the page.
  • ₱4,000 SM Supermarket e-voucher kapag nag-spend ka ng ₱8,000 sa loob ng 60 days mula sa card delivery.

What's bad

  • May 2.50% na foreign fee (galing sa data), kaya huwag itong gamitin abroad.
  • Per the @home T&C 1(c), hindi kasama sa 5% ang installments, ADA at auto-charged bills, wholesale clubs at fees. Earn pa rin ang bills na direkta mong binayaran.
  • Kailangan may hawak kang card ng ibang bank nang 12+ months, galing sa data.

The catch: Sinasabi ng page na 'across all categories', pero hindi nakalista ang exclusions, annual fee, income requirement o foreign fee. Nasa @home T&C ang exclusions. Galing sa data ang ₱250,000 a year na income.
