6 free international lounge passes, plus up to ₱10M travel insurance. Pero ₱3M a year ang income bar, at mataas ang foreign fee.

Bottom line: Pasok ka ba sa ₱3M na income at madalas kang lumipad abroad? Sulit ang lounge at insurance dito.

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

Para sa typical household (~₱825k a year), umaabot sa ~₱5,500 ang balik, plus ~₱2,500 na travel value pagkatapos bayaran ang foreign fee (2.50%). ₱5,000 ang annual fee. Per the bank's FAQ, standard charge ito at hindi generally waived. #19 ito sa 123 open cards, 50 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

  • 6 free international lounge passes via Mastercard Travel Pass. Our latest info says shared sa guests mo ang passes, pero hindi nakasaad sa page ang guests o ang period, kaya i-check kung per year.
  • Up to ₱10M ang travel insurance at up to ₱12,000 ang e-commerce protection; walang nakalistang conditions sa page.
  • 3 points per ₱20 sa regular spend, at hindi nag-e-expire.
  • Free for life ang first supplementary card.

What's bad

  • Kailangan mo ng ₱3M a year na gross income, 1 year bilang regular employee, at SOA mula sa card ng ibang bank.
  • Mataas ang foreign fee: 2.50%.
  • Flat lang ang earn at walang bonus category sa page. Per the rewards T&C, walang points ang Meralco at PLDT bills na binayaran via Bills Assist.

The catch: Ayon sa page, para lang sa international flights ang unlimited local lounge access; hindi kasama ang domestic.
