While the post-pandemic revenge travel phenomenon might have started slowing down, many Filipinos continue to plan out trips both local and international to sate their wanderlust. However, getting plane tickets can be difficult, especially if on a budget.
Thankfully, there are credit cards that allow their customers to convert their points into air miles, allowing their daily and monthly spending to gradually work up to getting a plane ticket for cheap.
Metrobank has expanded its credit card offering with the launch of the Metrobank Travel Signature Visa.
Designed for the modern adventurer, this new credit card enables Filipinos to turn everyday expenses into valuable rewards that lead their customers closer to their dreams.
“We celebrate the spirit of adventure, wonder and exploration of our customers, fellow Filipinos and even us,” Gail Male, Metrobank head of Cards, Personal Loans and Digital Channels Group, said.
“We support our clients’ desire to travel and we’ve been thinking through how can we make it much easier and more comfortable for our customers to get to their next trip. So, with this, together with our friends at Visa, we are launching a card that empowers our customers to attain that dream of travel much faster by taking their everyday spending and converting that into an opportunity to travel and also by looking for ways to make the actual journey in the airports a lot more comfortable.”
Cardholders earn 1 mile for every P30 spent, whether it’s the weekly grocery run, a daily coffee fix, or a splurge at a luxury boutique.
These air miles can be redeemed with Metrobank’s frequent flyer partners such as Philippine Airlines Mabuhay Miles, Cathay, and Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer, with AirAsia being added to the roster in the future.
The new Metrobank Travel Signature Visa card also gives its cardholders unlimited access to local airport lounges.
Just visit any of the Metrobank partner lounges such as PAGSS and soon, Plaza Premium. Enjoy comfort and convenience as you unwind before you board your flight. Simply present the credit card, passport, and international boarding pass to experience a stress-free start to any vacation.
As a travel-focused credit card, the Metrobank Travel Signature Visa also helps its customers unlock incredible savings with one of the lowest forex processing fees in the market at just 1.68 percent.
Because of this, users can spend confidently while dining and shopping abroad, knowing they’re getting the best value for their international purchases.
