Promo Mechanics: Annual Membership Fee Waiver

1. This promo is open to new Principal Credit Card customers in good credit standing (“Eligible Customers”) who will apply* for the eligible Credit Cards listed below within the promo period & whose applications are subsequently approved within 30 days from the promo end date are eligible for the promo. Existing BPI Credit cardholders are not eligible for the promo. 

Eligible Principal Credit Cards

• BPI Platinum Rewards Mastercard
• BPI Amore Platinum Cashback Card
• BPI Amore Cashback Card
• BPI Gold Mastercard
• BPI Blue Mastercard
• BPI Petron Mastercard

2. Promo period is from October 8, 2022 to January 31, 2023 and is extended until February 5, 2023.*

3. Supplementary Cards are excluded from the promo, and will follow standard Annual Membership Fee (AMF) charging – free AMF for life for 1st supplementary card, and annual charging for membership fee for the 2nd supplementary card onwards will apply.

4. Customers who applied within the promo period are eligible for an AMF Recurring Waiver, if they are able to meet the annual spend requirement using their newly-issued BPI Credit Card. The spend period of the AMF Recurring Waiver will be for 12 months, starting from their card anniversary date until 1 calendar day prior their next card anniversary date. The tracking of the annual spend will occur every year.

To illustrate:

Personal BPI Customer:

If the customer applied on October 8, 2022 and subsequently got approved on October 18, 2022, their card anniversary will be on October 18, 2022. Since Personal BPI customers, by virtue of BPI’s non-promo offer, will have their annual fee waived for the first year by default, they will not be charged an AMF at this time. (AMF is charged annually every card anniversary date).

The effectivity for the AMF Waiver based on annual spend requirement will therefore begin from October 18, 2022 until October  17, 2023. If the customer meets the annual spend requirement based on their card variant, then they will receive an AMF waiver and not need to pay their AMF on the cycle of October 18, 2023.

The following year, the spend period will be from October 18, 2023 until October 17, 2024. If they meet the annual spend requirement, the customer will not need to pay the AMF on October 18, 2024. This will occur annually.

Preferred BPI Customer:

If the customer applied on October 8, 2022 and subsequently got approved on October 18, 2022, their card anniversary will be on October 18, 2022. Since Preferred BPI customers, by virtue of BPI’s non-promo offer, will have their annual fee waived for the first 3 years by default, they will not be charged an AMF at this time as well as on October 18, 2023 and October 18, 2024. (AMF is charged annually every card anniversary date.).

The effectivity for the AMF Waiver based on annual spend requirement will therefore begin from October 18, 2024 until October 17, 2025. If the customer meets the annual spend requirement based on their card variant, then they will receive an AMF waiver and not need to pay their AMF on the cycle of October 18, 2025.

The following year, the spend period will be from October 18, 2025 until October 18, 2026. If they meet the annual spend requirement, the customer will not need to pay the AMF on October 18, 2026. This will occur annually.

Should the customer choose to convert their card to another variant, they will forfeit their AMF recurring waiver.

15. In case the customer applied for multiple Credit Cards and qualified for multiple AMF recurring waivers, the card that was applied for first will be followed.

Example: Applied and subsequently got approved for two Credit Cards within the promo period:

Customer A applied for a BPI Amore Cashback on November 10, 2022 and subsequently got approved. Customer A also applied for a BPI Platinum Rewards Mastercard on December 15, 2022 and subsequently got approved.
