8% sa rotating category, pero 0.2% lang ang earn sa spend na labas sa categories.

Bottom line: Kaya mo bang i-time ang malaking spend mo sa category ng quarter? Pwede itong gumana. Kung hassle-free ang gusto mo, mas bagay ang flat-earn card.

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

Sa typical household (~₱825k a year), ~₱6,500 ang cashback, pero negative ang travel value (~-₱1,000) dahil sa foreign fee (2.50%). Annual fee: ₱2,500; puwede kang mag-request ng waiver, bahala ang bank sa bawat request, galing sa data. Hindi malinaw kung sakop ng free-first-year footnote ang card na ito, kaya hindi namin isinama. Sa open list, #41 ito mula sa 123; 36 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

  • 8% cashback sa category ng quarter: Wellness (Jan-Mar), Leisure (Apr-Jun), Homecare (Jul-Sep), Retail (Oct-Dec).
  • 3% sa dining at online spend buong taon, walang minimum spend, per the page.
  • Travel insurance up to ₱3M kapag sa card na-charge ang buong roundtrip ticket, plus e-commerce purchase protection up to USD 200.

What's bad

  • 0.2% lang ang earn sa all other spend, kaya halos wala kang kikitain sa labas ng category.
  • Piling merchant categories (MCC) lang ang counted, at tulad ng MCC 5399 ang sumasakop sa online, galing sa data.
  • Capped ang cashback sa ₱1,250 a month, galing sa data.

The catch: Sabi ng page, up to ₱15,000 a year ang savings, pero upper limit lang iyon; mas mababa ang ~₱6,500 namin. Nasa Fees & Charges PDF ng PNB lang ang annual fee (₱2,500), at wala sa page ang income (₱120,000 a year, galing sa data) at ang monthly cap.

Rechecked on the bank page on 2026-10-25. Not on the page: annual fee (product page itself; it is in the linked PDF); minimum income; fee waiver terms; monthly cashback cap; merchant category (MCC) limits on 8% and 3%; lounge access. Our opinion, based on published terms. Not financial advice. The bank decides approval.
