GET IT IF…Honest take

Miles card na may malaking insurance, pero 1 point per ₱60 lang ang earn.

Bottom line: Kung miles ang goal mo, ikumpara muna sa ibang miles cards. Piliin lang ito kung insurance ang priority mo.

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

Kapag na-convert ang points sa miles, ~₱7,000 ang makukuha ng typical household (~₱825k a year), plus ~₱500 na travel value pagkatapos ng 2.50% sa foreign spend. Annual fee: ₱4,000, galing sa sarili naming data; maaari kang humingi ng waiver, at sa bank ang final say. Nakakuha ito ng 46 na score at puwestong #24 sa 123.

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

  • Hanggang ₱20M ang travel insurance kung sa card mo binili ang ticket.
  • 1 point = 1 airline mile. Walang nakasaad na expiry sa Rewards T&C, pero forfeited ang points kapag na-cancel, na-upgrade, na-downgrade o na-convert ang card.
  • Free 1-year Accor Plus Explorer membership kung mag-spend ka ng ₱5,000 sa loob ng 60 days mula sa card delivery.

What's bad

  • 1 point per ₱60 lang ang earn. Per the Rewards T&C, walang points ang auto-charge bills, installments, wholesale clubs at ilang utilities.
  • May 2.50% na fee ang foreign use, galing sa data, kaya huwag itong gamitin abroad.
  • Extra ang bayad sa lounge, per the page: USD 32 kada tao kada visit sa DragonPass.
  • Kailangan mo ng card mula sa ibang bank na hawak mo nang 12+ months, galing sa data.

The catch: Hindi nakalista sa page mismo ang annual fee, foreign fee at income requirement. Sarili naming figures ang ₱4,000, ang 2.50% at ang ₱250,000 a year. Kumpirmahin mo muna sa bank bago mag-apply.
