GET IT IF…Honest take

Play Points ang rewards, pero hindi sinasabi ng page ang halaga ng point.

Bottom line: Gusto mo ng card na may Play Points at savings account na walang maintaining balance? Okay ito. Kung cash value ang habol mo, hindi sinasabi ng page ang halaga ng point.

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

Sa typical household (~₱825k a year), nasa ~₱3,000 ang balik. Net sa travel: ~-₱1,500, negative dahil sa foreign fee. Annual fee: ₱1,500; pwede kang mag-request ng waiver, bahala ang bank. 31 ang score nito at #51 sa 123.

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 Play Point per ₱10 of Visa spend, redeemable sa UnionBank Online.
  • ₱1,500 ang annual fee (₱750 sa supplementary), per UB fee table (July 2025).
  • Kasama ang savings account, no maintaining balance, per the overview page.

What's bad

  • Mababa ang return, from our data.
  • Mabigat ang foreign fee: 1% network fee plus up to 2.525% UB service fee (fees page).
  • Wala sa page ang lounge at insurance, at wala rin ito from our data.

The catch: Mag-confirm ka sa bank bago mag-apply, kasi hindi sinasabi ng page ang halaga ng point. Wala ring annual fee at income requirement sa overview o credit page; photo ID at proof of income lang ang hinihingi. Galing sa UB fee table (July 2025) ang fee, at sa UB requirements page ang ₱360,000 a year na income.

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