Fee waiverCardholders can redeem 110,000 BPI Rewards Points for a full annual fee waiver, or 55,000 BPI Rewards Points for a 50% (half) annual fee waiver. A spend-based waiver promo was also available (Swipe & Save for Life, Oct 2025 – Jan 2026, ended). The Back-to-Back Perks promo (Mar–Jun 2026) lists 'Not Applicable' for a spend-based waiver, indicating no standard ongoing spend waiver.

The catch

  • The yearly fee returns after the first year (₱5,500) unless the bank waives it.
  • Interest is steep if you don't pay in full — about 3.00% a month.
