    Hello everyone.
    I went to unionbank to apply for eon card. Due to EMV replacements, hindi nila ako ni-issuehan. Madami kasi nagsa-suggest na EON card ay pwede gamitin as prepaid card for payment.
    Meron bang naka-experience of using other DEBIT/ Prepaid cards PH-issued?
    Need help here! Malapit na deadline ko!?

    share ko lang experience ko with getgo debit card ng unionbank. Ito yung new version nila ng eon debit card.

    A day bago mag expire yung invite ko nagkaproblema ako sa lodging buong araw ako sa bank kasi kahit may enough funds ung account nag iinvalid transaction ako only to found na nde na daw nag aaccept ng morethan 150k online transaction kahit na niset ko as max 250k yung transaction limit ko. 3 kasi kami applicant.

    My advise kung may friend kayo na may malaking credit limit sa CC maki swipe nalang kayo then pay cash. Another option kung may time pa naman is kung may credit card ka na pde kayo mag pa approve na temporary itaas yung credit limit for a certain transaction lang. Subject for approval nga lang.

    @Noodles12 oh no.. meron pa naman dw sila EON card kaya lang hindi na nila ako inadvice na kumuha kasi anytime pwede daw ma-replace at madeactovate until a new card isa available.
    Get-go ang binibigay nila. Hindi din ako kumuha kasi walang proof na ok yun sa payment. Though pwede daw i-link sa paypal.
    Ano po ang nangyari sa get-go card nyo? Naging ok din po ba ang payment process nyo?

    @Strader meron naman ako CC kaya lang much lower ang credit limit. At meron pang karga (may unpaid balances pa).. so I don't think I will be allowed to increase my limit. Wala din ako kakilala na merong ganung kalaking credit limit family of 3 din po kami.
    So ang options ko ay debit/ prepaid card and paypal.
    Worried ako baka magkaproblema sa payment.

    @Strader oo sis nakalagay sa website ng dibp pede ang paypal kaso personally I dont recommend it due to security reasons. Meron kasi akong friend na nahack ang paypal account. Wala din akong nabsa dito sa forum na gumamit ng paypal for visa payment.

    @jacjacjac nag message po ako sayo regarding credit card nkapost sa South Australia thread. You can check na lang po dun :)

    @strader i'm going to create a paypal account just for this purpose. If hacking is a threat, wala din mapapala ang hacker sa akin.. hihihi
    @MissOZdreamer yes nabasa ko po ang message nyo. As of now credit card is an not an option. Medyo malaki ang kelangan ko ipa-increase if ever 150% ng credit limit ko, may unpaid balances pa din ako so baka lalong hindi umabot sa 250k+ (3 kami sa family).

    @jacjacjac Nag request ka na po ba sa bank mo na ipa-adjust yung max withdrawal limit nung debit card mo? It's better po na compute mo yung estimated amount + tax + buffer for forex

    @nehalem not yet. Isa po yun sa options if eon card is not yet available next week. Tatawag na po ako kasi baka limited lang ang period for temporary increase.
    May buffer na din ang budget for the fee.

    @jacjacjac hello. Try mo din kaya mag advance payment sa credit card mo. Ung nagsabi sa kin dito sa forum ang ginawa nya nag advance paymentsya sa BDO credit card nya over the counter ng 150k kasi 100k lang ang credit limit. Same day ginamit nya agad ung credit card nya.

    Actually problem ko din yang credit card ko sa visa payment kasi 100k lang ang credit limit ng CC ko. Kaya ang gagawin ko pag mag lodge na ko ng visa mag advance payment ako over the counter ng 150k tas mag lodge ako ng visa same day. Btw BDO mastercard po ang credit card ko.

    @nehalem I'll take your advice. Thanks!
    @MissOZdreamer may unpaid balance kasi ang cc ko. So baka kahit na ipa-increase ko ang limit hindi umabot, at lalo na hindi talaga pumayag dahil sa balance ko. Wala naman din ako kakilala na may malaki-laking credit limit. So I'm opting to pay via debit or prepaid.
