GET IT IF…Honest take

Magagamit ang points sa Robinsons Retail brands, at 1 point per ₱200 lang ang earn kahit doon, per the T&C.

Bottom line: Para lang ito sa madalas mamili sa Robinsons Retail brands o Shopwise at gagamit ng Black lane at ng 3,000-point welcome gift. Rewards ang habol mo? Ubos ng fee ang malaking parte ng rewards, kaya hanap ka ng iba.

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

Kapag typical household (~₱825k a year), ~₱2,500 ang rewards, pero ~-₱1,500 naman ang travel, negative dahil sa foreign fee. ₱3,000 ang annual fee. Puwede kang humiling ng waiver (from our data), pero sa bank ang desisyon. Puwesto: #63 sa 123 cards; score 27.

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 Go Rewards point per ₱200 na gastos, ayon sa Gold page.
  • Automatic ang Go Rewards Black membership, may Black lane sa Shopwise at The Marketplace.
  • Welcome gift na 3,000 Go Rewards points kung mag-spend ka ng ₱30,000 within 60 days mula nang matanggap ang card.

What's bad

  • Walang points ang bills payment, per the Go Rewards T&C.
  • Mataas ang 3.00% sa foreign use (galing sa data).
  • Hindi nakalista sa page ang lounge at insurance, at wala rin ito sa aming data.

The catch: Wala sa Gold page o sa overview page mismo ang annual fee at income. Nasa Go Rewards T&C (Sep 2025) ang fee (₱3,000 principal, ₱1,500 supplementary), at tugma ito sa fee table ng UB (July 2025). Galing ang income sa requirements table ng UB. Hindi rin malinaw sa page kung nag-e-expire ang points.

Rechecked on the bank page on 2026-10-24. Not on the page: annual fee on the card page itself; minimum income on the card page; points expiry; lounge and insurance. Our opinion, based on published terms. Not financial advice. The bank decides approval.
