Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) tonight launches several new products including a BPI My e-Prepaid Card and a group buying site DealMania.ph dedicated to cardholders, a first for a Philippine bank.
BPI’s My e-Prepaid Card is basically a prepaid/reloadable credit card. It works for online purchases so you only spend for amount that’s already loaded on the card, nothing more. This is ideal for folks that son’t have any credit card yet since it’s 100% approval for all applicants. You can go apply on here for free at bpicards.com.
The other one is basically a group-buying site, DealMania.ph.
The deal site is basically exclusive to all BPI card holders (I heard its in the 500k range so that’s still a lot of subs). It’s powered by one of the bigger and more popular deal sites, Buyanihan.
Check out the deals there if your a BPI cardholder.
Disclosure: Was contacted by BPI’s PR agency earlier to try out the e-Prepaid card. It was pre-loaded with some amount and I am thinking of a way to do a raffle and buy the lucky winner any gadget (within budget of course) he or she likes online.
I got the card already and tried to use it in the apple App Store, and sad to say, the card was rejected.. I only got the card for that purpose. It’s disappointing.
Can I use this card to withdraw funds from my Paypal account? Thanks!
hi po pwede kaya sa payza or before alertpay ung bpi eprepaid mas marami kasi me income naka hold sa payza ko kesa sa paypal.
does it work with itunes? please share… thanks!
The App Store doesn’t accept the card. Disappointing. Got the card for that purpose only.
@markerwins, call your nominated bpi branch kung ready dumating na yung card mo. P500 nga yung processing fee ng card. Super mahal ng card na ‘to. Kapag mag iinquire ka tungkol dun sa card, walang ideya yung mga empleyado pero pagdating sa pag kulekta ng pera para makuha yung card ang galing galing nila. good job BPI. tsk!
Still now wala padin akong email regarding my card, last November pako nag-apply.
Out of curiousity, I called my local bpi branch around 4pm kanina to check if my bpi my eprepaid card arrived, hanggang ngayon wala pa ring ideya yung empleyado nila tungkol sa card. Anyway, my card arrived and ready to be claimed. I was required to present 2 government issued id. Balak ko siya kunin bukas, I’ll check if they’ll ask me to pay P500.
Have anyone here have used this card na? :) Please reply hehe xD
