I want to share my story about credit card application. At first, I thought applying a credit card is difficult but it changed when I got approved with my first BPI Blue MasterCard. What I did was, I filled out an application form online and provided them with the complete requirements to process my application. It took more than 2 weeks before I got the result of my application and luckily I got APPROVED!
There's no guarantee that you'll be approved though. The decision will be based on the requirements that you will submit kasi doon talaga sila magbabase since this will be your first credit card application. Just think positive that you'll get one. J J J
After I got this card, I decided to apply for a card that I can use for online transactions kasi nowadays, madali na manakaw ang information mo without you knowing it. Sabi kasi sa online ad ng bank, it is more secured to use this card especially online. It has a feature that can protect you from online theft, etc... So, I got this BPI Express Credit. The thing is the limit on this card will be coming from your primary card credit limit. It was stated on the TnC that I received from them, it is the 20% of your cc limit that is allocated on the card. Ok na din kaysa wala.
So there you have it! Ganyan lang kadali mag apply online. Pwede din naman kayo mag apply directly sa bank at sa mga stall nila sa mga malls but for busy people like me, I would recommend to apply online. Sa mga takot ma decline yung application nila, you can apply for a secured credit card sa mismong branch.
Here's how to do it.
*Go to your prefered branch and tell them that you want to apply for a SECURED CC.
* The next thing you need to do is to open an account, minimum of P10,000, pero depende pa din sa gusto mong amount na ideposit. Also, if you want to use your existing savings account with BPI that is fine as well.
* The credit limit will be based sa amount ng idedeposit mo. The bigger amount, the higher credit limit you will have. ( 80% of the total amount that you have deposited will be your expected limit on the card)
What I like about this is you dont need to submit a lot of documents. Just a valid ID will do. Then before I forgot, yung pera na dineposit will be put on hold for a year. Yun lang ang catch dun. Kaya siya tinawag na secured credit card. Pero para sa akin I'll rate this 4 stars kasi through this, you'll be able to build your credit score.
