Credit Card Talk


Recommended Posts

Before getting a credit card, be sure that you have self control. You can't just swipe it anytime, anywhere, on anything you want. Otherwise, mababaon ka talaga sa utang.

 

For instance back in December during the 12-12 promo ng Lazada, a news site reported that someone shopped a total of more than 1 million worth of good from Lazada. If that's how you shop (impulsive), then probably you have to stay away from credit cards.

 

For instance, BDO was offering me their platinum card with unlimited credit limit. However, I don't use credit cards, as I prefer to pay cash/debit cards. However since credit cards are safer to use online than debit cards, I decided to get their Gold instead.

 

Basta know your limits and be a responsible shopper. No one deserves the burden of thinking about how to pay their bills day in and day out.

Kung hindi kayang bayaran ang total amount due, sana mas malaki sa minumum amount due. Kakainin lang ng interest charge mo yung minimum due na binayaran mo.

 

May iba nag ooffer na for installment ang total amount due mo.

 

The key is disiplina sa pag gamit.

Im trying to do that Sir ,kaso minsan minimum lang , as my knowledge yung buong nakuha ko e nabayran na ang monthly ko na binabayaran ay interest nalang na nag accumulate, hindi ba to pwede magawan ng paraan or any thoughts about this

I agree with the importance of self-discipline. Once you find yourself in the credit trap, it's difficult to claw your way out. Before using your CC for any transaction, make sure that you will have enough financial resources in the future to pay the debt. Otherwise, refrain from using it no matter how tempting is a certain purchase.

Don't use your BPI cards when you're purchasing something from an unknown source. If it isn't delivered and the seller doesn't answer, nganga na lang. BPI would keep on insisting that you have to get a cancellation notice from the seller so that the charge can be reversed.

Kasi you are talking to customer service. So limited pa din access ng mga call centers. I think you could only complain with BSP. Nangyari sa kin dati yan but binalik naman. Bkas kasi sila sila din nakakaalam ng mga details mo. So maybe they are the ones who purchased the goods.

Mas hassle pa to. But I'll try it out when things go back to normal. Kaya mostly for online purchases, I use Citibank. Mas reliable ang customer service nila, lalo na when it comes to disputes.

Correct. At the same time, there are so many business benefits in being a good card customer. The card company offers you a big loan without questions. One company for example was instrumental in my ability to purchase 3 Toyota Vios in cash to start my taxi business. They just based my credibility on my almost 10 years of using their card here and abroad. Then they gave me a loan of 3 million. No questions asked.
