To entice Filipinos to apply for a credit card, banks in the Philippines offer exciting welcome gifts. With electronic gift certificates, cash rebates, and waived annual fees, you might even want to apply for as many credit cards as possible just to get the welcome gift!
But you can qualify for these welcome gifts only if you’re a new-to-card or a new-to-bank applicant, meaning you don’t have an existing credit card with that particular bank yet. Moreover, some banks require new cardholders to meet a spending amount within a certain period to receive the welcome gift.
If you’re shopping for a new card, check out this credit card welcome gift list from different providers to see if you're eligible to apply and receive the gifts.
