Nanghiram ako ng credit card ng friend ko. Although mas mababa ng konti ang credit limit nya pero pumasok ang payment.
We even tried calling her cc's contact center, and requested for credit limit increase. Hindi daw pwede. So stressed ako buong araw. Pero in the end kahit walang confirmation nila, nagtry pa din ako, successful ang transaction! God is good!
Hassle sa BDO debit. Hanggang 200k lang daw ang online payment limit nila. Kahit i-set ng agent/ rep ang limit mo, default na up to 200k lang, that is if you request an increase. I can't believe these banks have this rule. Para daw iwas sa fraud, but I was just asking to allow it even for an hour just for the transaction to get through. Ayaw pa din nila. (Same with my friend's cc)
About eon card of unionbank naman, they asked me to register and apply online and the new EMV card will be delivered to a branch of my choice. Pero available pa daw sa 2nd or 3rd week ng September. They don't issue the old eon card anymore.
What a day indeed for me!
Nonetheless I am still thankful for a OKd transaction. :-*

My husband is working for a US bank contact center here in the PH. He said there's always an exception to these rules. They are not allowed to offer some options yet they are still possible, situations like emergencies and urgent matters are considered. Well, PH isn't different from other countries with fraud and money laundering problems, so definitely chill lang ako. )

With fingers and toes crossed, nagtry pa din ako magbayad online using my friend's cc. Talon ako ng talon after successful ang transaction. )
So maybe allowed ng system ang a little over limit sa cc, but with charges of course.

Well, that's a lesson for me. Medyo complicated ang nangyari sa akin kasi wala ako cc na may malaking credit limit, and I can't take the risk to use other cards kasi late ko na din nakumpleto ang funds ko, baka madefer pa. Unexpected kasi ang invitation ko to be that fast from the date I submitted EOI.
Siguro it's case to case, rules of one bank may differ from another, or depende sa agent na kausap and how much they are willing to help their customers. But we can't do anything about that, sometimes rules are rules.
Better to have back up or contingency measures to avoid ma-windang sa nalalapit na deadline.
