Cards Updates

Updates on BPI Real Thrills Rewards Program

Our Real Thrills Rewards just got better.

In November, your credit card rewards points will be merged with BPI’s bank-wide rewards program, which will also allow you to view, redeem, and track your bank rewards conveniently with just one app.

As we move to the unified rewards program, we are combining all points in one currency that will be called BPI Points. As such, if you have Real Thrills Rewards Premium points, these will be converted to BPI Points at the conversion rate of 1 RTR Premium = 2 BPI Points. These converted points will be combined with your BPI Points earned starting November 2022, from your other BPI credit cards.

Meantime, you can continue to earn and redeem rewards with the current BPI Real Thrills Rewards Program.

Watch out for more updates soon. We look forward to delighting you with our new rewards program.

Replacement of your Amore Cashback Card

Please be informed that we will be replacing your Amore Cashback Card free of charge. This is to avoid instances where your card may require a PIN for purchases at certain stores.

Kindly note the process and changes to be applied in replacing your card:

We will create and deliver a new Amore Cashback Card for you and your supplementary (if any) within the next 2 months. Upon receiving the card, please activate it immediately. Your old Amore Cashback Card will only be cancelled upon activation of your new Amore Cashback Card.

Your new Amore Cashback Card will have a new card number.

If you are enrolled in Meralco via BPI Autocharge, your enrollment will be transferred to your new Amore Cashback Card upon activation. If you are enrolled in automatic payments of other merchants, you will need to coordinate with the merchant to transfer your enrollments. Here’s a guide on how to transfer enrollments from top merchants.
