Isa sa pinakamalakas na miles card dito, pero may hurdle bago ka makapasok.

Bottom line: Kung madalas kang bumiyahe at hawak mo na ang card ng ibang bank for over a year, dito ka magsimula. Kung wala pa, mag-build ka muna ng record doon.

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

Kapag kino-convert mo sa miles, ~₱15,000 ang uwi ng typical household (~₱825k a year), plus ~₱3,000 na net travel value after ng foreign transaction fee (1.70%). Annual fee: ₱6,000, figure namin at wala sa page. Pwede mong hilingin ang waiver, bahala ang bank. #4 ang puwesto nito sa open list ng 123 cards; 73 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

  • 1 point per ₱30 sa qualified spend, at 1 point = 1 airline mile.
  • Mababa ang foreign transaction fee (1.70%), at may travel insurance up to ₱20M kapag sa card mo binili ang ticket.
  • Free 1-year Accor Plus Explorer membership kung mag-spend ka ng ₱5,000 within 60 days.

What's bad

  • Extra ang bayad sa lounge, per the page: USD 32 a person kada visit sa DragonPass.
  • Galing sa data: kailangan may hawak kang card ng ibang bank for 12+ months, kaya hindi ito pwedeng first card.
  • Per the Rewards T&C, walang points ang auto-charge bills, installments, wholesale clubs at ilang utilities.

The catch: Wala sa page mismo ang annual fee, income requirement at 12-month rule; galing sa data ang ₱250,000 a year, kaya mag-confirm ka muna sa bank. Forfeited ang points kapag nag-cancel, nag-upgrade o nag-downgrade ka, at kapag 60 days past due mula 5 May 2026.
