GET IT IF…Honest take

6% ZALORA Cashback sa ZALORA purchases at ₱5,000 welcome credits. Para lang ito sa regular na ZALORA shopper.

Bottom line: ZALORA ba ang main online store mo, at kaya mo bang abutin ang ₱30,000 in 60 days? Puwede. Kung hindi, mas malaki ang balik ng ibang cards.

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

Face value ang bilang namin sa ZALORA credit dito. Para sa typical household (~₱825k a year), ~₱3,000 ang kita at -₱1,500 ang travel value. ₱4,000 ang annual fee. Pwede mong hilingin ang waiver (from our data), bahala ang bank. Puwesto: #70 sa 123 cards; score 25.

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

  • 6% ZALORA Cashback sa ZALORA purchases, up to 2% sa ibang online purchases, at points mula sa ₱50 spend kahit saan. Hindi nag-e-expire ang points.
  • Puwedeng i-convert ang points sa ZALORA Cashback o AIRMILES, gamitin sa annual fee, o i-donate.
  • ₱5,000 ZALORA Shopping Credits kapag nag-spend ka ng ₱30,000 within 60 days, plus 1 year ng free ZNOW shipping.

What's bad

  • Mahal ang ₱4,000 na fee (supplementary ₱2,000). May general na 'First Year Membership Fee: WAIVED' row sa fee page, pero hindi nito pinangalanan ang card.
  • Kailangan ng ₱200,000 annual spend para ma-keep ang ZNOW.
  • Mataas ang 3.50% na singil sa foreign spend (peso-card fee schedule).

The catch: Wala sa page ang cashback cap at income requirement, at hindi namin nabasa ang T&C PDF. Kasali ang ZALORA sa no-annual-fee promo (₱60,000 within 60 days, new-to-RCBC lang, face-to-face channels, until Dec 31, 2026), at per the promo page, puwede itong isabay sa welcome gift. Manipis ang source namin dito, kaya kumpirmahin ang cap at terms sa bank.

Rechecked on the bank page on 2026-10-24. Not on the page: cashback cap; minimum income; foreign fee (on fee schedule page only); whether foreign online purchases earn the 2%; T&C PDFs (not read). Our opinion, based on published terms. Not financial advice. The bank decides approval.
