  2. The Promo is open to newly approved and qualified principal Metrobank Rewards Plus Visa cardholders who have applied and submitted complete application requirements for said Card within the Promo Period; are subsequently approved; and who do not have an existing or cancelled principal Metrobank credit card and have not had one in the last 6 months.

  4. The posting date of the transactions will be the basis of qualification on the period allocated for the annual spend requirement. To illustrate, if the card issue date is July 16, 2024, transactions qualified for the annual spend are the transactions posted until July 15, 2024.

    For succeeding years, 1st day of annual spend computation will start on the day after anniversary date. To illustrate, for 2nd year annual spend computation, transactions qualified for the annual spend are the transactions posted from July 16, 2024 until January 15, 2025.

  5. If principal cardholder does not meet the required Annual Spend of PHP 180,000, Principal cardholder will be charged an annual fee of PHP 2,500. Annual fee will be reflected on Principal cardholder’s statement of account after anniversary date.

  8. Valid Annual Spend of Php180,000.00 shall only include straight retail transactions, online transactions, Bills2Pay and Cash Advance transactions. For retail installments and special Installments such as Balance Transfer and Cash2Go, only the amortized principal amount posted within 12 months from card issuance, will be considered as valid Annual Spend. Add-on interest is not included.

  9. Fees and charges, Balance Conversion installments, PayNow, credit adjustments resulting from merchant initiated credit adjustment and transaction disputes are not included in the computation of valid annual spend requirement.

  10. Transactions made by supplementary cardholder will be included in the computation of principal cardholder’s annual spend.

  12. The Annual Fee Waiver is non-transferable, and cannot be converted or exchanged for cash, credit, benefit, advantage, or any property.

  13. The computation of the Annual Spend and awarding of the Annual Fee Waiver to the principal cardholder by Metrobank is considered final.

    2nd: Rewards Plus Visa

  15. In the event that principal cardholder requests for an upgrade or conversion of the qualified card in the future, Annual Fee Waiver will no longer apply. The Annual Fee Waiver cannot be transferred to the newly upgraded or converted card.
