Top ng RCBC ranking namin: miles, mababang foreign fee, unlimited local lounge.

Bottom line: Kung lumilipad ka at pasok sa income, unahin mo ito sa RCBC. Kung hindi, huwag ka nang magbayad ng fee para sa miles na hindi mo magagamit.

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

Ang annual fee ay ₱5,500, free sa first year per the page. Pagkatapos, sabi ng data, puwede kang humiling ng waiver, pero sa bank ang desisyon. Para sa typical household (~₱825k a year), nasa ~₱11,500 ang bumabalik, plus ~₱3,500 na travel value. #6 ang puwesto nito sa 123 cards, 67 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 Signature Airmile per ₱48 local at ₱25 abroad, na nako-convert 1:1 sa Asia Miles, Mabuhay Miles at AirAsia Rewards. Hindi nag-e-expire ang miles.
  • 1.50% ang foreign fee hanggang Dec 31, 2026 (1.70% standard).
  • Unlimited PAGSS lounge sa NAIA Terminal 1 (kailangan ang international boarding pass), at insurance up to ₱20M kung i-charge mo ang international tickets sa card.
  • Welcome gift: ₱12,000 Travel Club voucher o PAL e-gift card para sa ₱100,000 spend within 60 days (new-to-RCBC, Oct 16 to Dec 31, 2026).

What's bad

  • Mataas ang income requirement: ₱1,000,000. Galing sa data ang figure na ito, wala ito sa bank page.
  • Priority Pass: up to 4 free visits a year, pero ₱250,000 spend sa isang quarter ang kailangan para sa bawat isa. Hindi namin binilang.

The catch: Terms ng welcome gift: bayaran ang full annual fee at huwag mag-cancel within 24 months, per the promo page. Mag-confirm sa bank tungkol sa income.
