Top Local Credit Cards for International Travel
Tuesday, November 22, 2016
Your credit card can put your mind at ease in the event of a financial emergency, such as a botched hotel reservation, or insufficient local currency, or a cancelled flight. With the right kind of travel credit card, you can earn miles the more frequent you travel. Here are just some of them.
Citi Premier Miles Credit Card
You can book your flight with any airline that you choose. Go ahead and swipe your Citi PremierMiles Card on your next flight to NYC via Delta Airlines, or to Dubai via Philippine Airlines! If you don’t want to use your PremierMiles on flights, you can also redeem them for hotel stays at participating hotel loyalty programs, like the Hilton HHonors or the IHG Rewards Club.
Your PremierMiles are as good as cash, so use them to pay for your travel expenses, such as airline tickets, hotel accommodations, holiday cruises, and even car rentals. For every ₱500 you charge to your Citi PremierMiles Card, you redeem 1,500 PremierMiles. You can even use your PremierMiles to pay for your annual fee.
You can use your Citi PremierMiles Card to shop and dine any place in the world. You also get complimentary access to the VIP airport lounges at NAIA Terminals 1 and 3, as well as Plaza Premium Lounges overseas.
With the Citi PremierMiles Card, you can travel with maximum protection and be covered by Travel Accident Insurance, or Travel Inconvenience Protection. You also get personal assistance from the 24/7 Visa Signature Concierge.
BDO Cathay Pacific American Express Credit Card
You can redeem these Asia Miles for flights, hotel stays, upgrades, lifestyle rewards, and companion tickets to various destinations on Asia Miles partner airlines.
As a BDO Cathay Pacific American Express cardholder, you will receive 1,500 Bonus Asia Miles on your first purchase and upon spending at least ₱250,000 per annum on your membership anniversary.
For golf lovers, green tier membership enrolment fee at Marco Polo Club will also be waived for the first year. You also get additional perks like access to designated check-in counters as well as priority boarding.
BPI Delta SkyMiles Platinum Credit Card
Use your miles to travel to 160 countries, 6 continents, and 900 cities via Delta Airlines and other partner airlines. You can even double your miles when you spend on Delta Airline tickets. You can earn your miles until you save enough for your next dream destination. And don’t worry, your SkyMiles miles will not expire. To qualify, you should have an annual income of ₱1,000,000.
