BY INVITATION ONLYHonest take

Nasa A tier ito sa list namin, pero by invitation only kaya hindi ka makakapag-apply.

Bottom line: Kung may hawak kang invite at malaki ang gastos mo sa dining, shopping at travel, sulit ito. Kung wala, ibang premium card na lang ang tingnan mo.

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

Kapag may offer na dumating, may balik na ~₱12,000 ang typical household (~₱825k a year), at positive ang travel value na ~₱6,000 kasi mababa ang foreign fee (1.00%). Puwesto sa lahat ng cards: #22 sa 170, score 52.

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

  • 5x points sa local department stores at boutiques, dining at foreign currency spend; 1 point per ₱30 sa lahat ng iba, at never-expiring ang points.
  • Unlimited access sa mahigit 1,800 lounges via Priority Pass, may 4 free guest passes a year, at hanggang ₱20M ang travel insurance kapag naka-charge sa card ang ticket.
  • Foreign transactions carry a 1% network fee, with no UB service fee per the fees page.

What's bad

  • Fixed cost ang ₱12,000 na annual fee dahil hindi ito puwedeng i-waive.
  • Principal cardholders lang ang may Priority Pass membership, at nagbabayad ng lounge visit fee ang extra guests, per the Reserve T&C.
  • Nasa ₱178 a month lang ang cap sa utilities at telco bills, from our data.

The catch: Wala sa page ang income requirement at ang utilities cap. Galing sa UB fee table (July 2025) ang ₱12,000 na fee. Hindi namin ito isinama sa open-card ranking kasi hindi ito bukas sa public.
