1. This Annual Membership Fee Waiver 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 and whose applications are approved within 30 days from the Promo end date. Existing BPI Credit Cardholders are not eligible for the Promo.  

Eligible Principal Credit Cards:

a. BPI Platinum Rewards Mastercard

b. BPI Gold Mastercard

c. BPI Blue Mastercard

2. Promo period for application is from October 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023​.

3. Supplementary Cards are excluded from the Promo, and will follow the 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 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 1, 2023 and subsequently got approved on October 5, 2023, their card anniversary will be on October 5, 2023. 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 5, 2023 until October 4, 2024. If the customer meets the annual spend requirement based on their card variant, then he will receive an AMF waiver and does not need to pay their AMF on the cycle of October 5, 2024.

The following year, the spend period will be from October 5, 2024 until October 4, 2025. If they meet the annual spend requirement, the customer will not need to pay the AMF on October 5, 2025. This will occur annually.

Preferred BPI Customer:

If the customer applied on October 1, 2023 and subsequently got approved on October 5, 2023, his card anniversary will be on October 5, 2023. 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 5, 2024 and October 5, 2025. (AMF is charged annually every card anniversary date.) 

The effectivity for the AMF Waiver based on annual spend requirement will, therefore, begin from October 5, 2025 until October 4, 2026. If the customer meets the annual spend requirement based on their card variant, then they will receive an AMF Waiver and don’t need to pay their AMF on the cycle of October 5, 2026.

The following year, the spend period will be from October 5, 2026 until October 4, 2027. If they meet the annual spend requirement, the customer will not need to pay the AMF on October 5, 2027. This will occur annually.

5. Spend requirement to qualify for the AMF recurring waiver:

6. Valid transactions made by the Principal Cardholder and his/her supplementary cardholder(s) during the applicable spend period using their eligible cards will be accumulated and shall be considered as the Principal Cardholder’s total transactions under this Promo.

7. Customers who meet the annual spend requirement will be awarded an AMF Waiver. An AMF charge will appear on the statement of account and will be immediately reversed such that customers do not need to pay. The AMF reversal will automatically reflect on the following cycle’s statement of account.  

8. The AMF Waiver is not convertible to cash or in kind.

9. The Principal Credit Card of the qualified customer must be current and active at point of awarding.

10. This promotion will not apply in conjunction with any other existing bank promotion.

11. Employees of BPI are not qualified to join the Promo.

12. Each qualified Principal Cardholder may only be awarded the AMF Waiver once per annum, and only for their newly-issued BPI Credit Card and its replacements due to expiry. Should the customer choose to convert their card to another variant, they will forfeit their AMF Waiver.

13. In case a customer applied for multiple Credit Cards within the same day or within the same month, only one card will be eligible for the AMF waiver, based on the card hierarchy below:

• BPI Platinum Mastercard
• BPI Gold Mastercard
• BPI Blue Mastercard

14. Converted, upgraded, or change in the card type approved will disqualify the cardholder from receiving the AMF Waiver.

15. In case of dispute pertaining to the Promo including, but not limited to, the cardholder’s eligibility, coverage dates, fulfillment, etc., BPI’s decision will prevail with the concurrence of DTI. Any and all questions or disputes regarding the AMF Waiver received under this promotion must be raised within 30 days from the date of receipt of the said AMF Waiver.

16. The terms and conditions governing the issuance and use of the BPI Credit Card shall form part hereof and are deemed incorporated herein by reference.
