To entice Filipinos to apply for a credit card, banks in the Philippines offer exciting credit card welcome gift offers with new credit card approvals. From electronic gift certificates and cash rebates to waived annual fees, you’ll want to apply for as many credit cards as you can just to get the welcome gift!
But the caveat is that 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 required spending amount within a certain period to receive the welcome gift.
If you’re shopping for a new credit card, check out this list of welcome gifts from different credit card providers and see if you're eligible to apply and receive the gifts.
