SKIP ITHonest take

Walang nakasaad sa page na spend rewards. Ang tanging rebate ay sa interest.

Bottom line: Skip ito. Kung rewards ang habol mo, humanap ng ibang card.

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

For a typical household (~₱825k a year), rewards come to ~-₱500 and travel value to ~-₱1,500, both negative once the 2.50% foreign charge from the fees PDF applies. Walang spend rewards ang card na ito, from our data. Fee: ₱600. Hindi binabanggit ng page ang waiver terms; ang waiver ay hinihingi mo sa bank at sila ang nagpapasya, ayon sa data. Hindi malinaw kung sakop ng free-first-year footnote sa fees PDF ang card na ito. Umabot sa 10 ang score, kaya #117 ang lugar nito sa 123 cards.

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

  • Low annual fee ang sabi ng product page.
  • Hanggang ₱1M ang libreng travel insurance kapag sa card ichinarge ang buong roundtrip ticket (land, air o sea).
  • Pwede mong bayaran ang bill in Peso kahit abroad pa ang transaction.

What's bad

  • Sa revolved interest lang ang 1% rebate, kaya ang balance na hindi mo nabayaran ang pinagkukunan nito. Huwag mo itong habulin.
  • 2.50% ang singil sa foreign spend per the fees PDF, at wala rin sa page ang lounge access.

The catch: Walang nakalagay na amount sa 'Low annual fee' ng product page, pero ₱600 ang nakalagay sa Fees & Charges PDF ng PNB. Hindi rin nakasaad sa page ang income requirement (₱600,000 a year, galing sa data).

Rechecked on the bank page on 2026-10-25. Not on the page: annual fee amount (product page itself; it is in the linked PDF); minimum income; fee waiver terms; spend rewards; lounge access. Our opinion, based on published terms. Not financial advice. The bank decides approval.
