    hmm.. im with @MissOZdreamer , if may monthly dues pa sa cc, if kaya, i think i-fullpayment mo na. para lang ma-clear.. By then, baka pumayag na sila i-increase yung credit limit.. anyway, hope all is well.. goodluck @jacjacjac :)

    @eujin hello. Actually pede daw kahit may outstanding balance sa credit card. yun ang sabi sa kin nung nakausap ko dito sa forum. Sabi nya din kung magkano ang payment nya for visa which is 150k, un ang inadvance payment nya over the counter sa bdo kasi BDO credit card nya. Tas chineck nya online kung pumasok ung advance payment. Sa bdo online kasi makikita both ung savings account and credit card details like outstanding balance, credit limit etc. Nung nagreflect na online ung advance payment nya nag lodge na sya ng visa the same day. Actually ito ang gagawin ko pag nag lodge ako ng visa kasi kulang ang credit limit ko at bdo din ang credit card ko. God bless @jacjacjac

    @eujin yes thanks. Kung kaya full pay ko yung balance. Pero kung may options pa, i'll consider those first. Contingency na ang cc.

    @MissOZdreamer bdo din ang cc ko. Bdo din ang debit card. Can't take the risk to use my cc bka hindi umubra.
    I'll cross my fingers: 1. na dumating na ang New Eon card sa Unionbank, 2. Ok ang ph-issued debit card 3. Ok ang payment via paypal (gagawa pa ng account) 4. Makahanap ng Cc holder na mataas ang credit limit and willing magpa-ride
    So far yan ang options and contingency measures ko. Kung wala talaga iiyak at tatambling nalang ako sa bdo to ask for a temporary increase in my credit limit despite of my unpaid balances sa cc ko.
    May God be with me.
