Your Life in Full Drive: Metrobank Launches TOYOTA Platinum Mastercard

3 brands took us to BGC this morning as they launch the new TOYOTA Platinum Card by Mastercard. This is the newest product from the folks at Metrobank. 

Ms. Gale Male the head of cards from Metrobank says "Mobility and reliability has always been something consumers consider to make everyday motoring lighter. We are proud to introduce the new Toyota Platinum Card!"

With the goal of strengthening partnerships, this new seamless and secure credit card will empower Filipino motorists. According to Head of Credit Cards Ms. Mel Santos "We started with the Filipino motorist who hails from outside Metro Manila, with their responsibility, they have to journey to Quezon City. Mobility is essential, they need to manage costs of everyday driving. Costs of fuel, this card offers fuel rebates for ALL gas stations. This also has rebates on TOLL FEES, with an almost combined savings of over 15K. You also get 10 percent off on Toyota Genuine parts and services, at 0 percent installment rates on repairs plus credits. You can also get 2x the rewards. Toyota, Mastercard and Metrobank wants to help you drive smarter."

Toyota Motors Philippines Mike Montemayor adds "We have been partners for a while now. We respond to long term needs of our customers, to create value for their everyday lives. We have a customer first policy, because we know how vehicle ownership includes responsibilities. Through this card, you can avail service and accessories. We thank Metrobank for partnering with us, congratulations! Time to live your life in Full Drive!"

Jason Castro of Mastercard Philippines says "This is a well packaged service, congratulations to our partners. Customers will benefit from what you brought here and Mastercard is there to connect people wherever they are in the world. Our strength is going to be how we can serve the Filipino public. They need simplicity, value, and this is what we all bring to the table. Today we see the culmination of that. We have far greater things to do, and they trust Toyota, Metrobank and Mastercard. This is our commitment, and make each step rewarding."

With the looming energy crisis happening this week, Metrobank does good with this card that issues rebates in any gas station you would need to fill up at. The installment on services can also help you finance if something happens to the car while you're using it. Ultimately, they think about you! That says a lot, so if you're looking for a card that would fit your lifestyle (especially for new car owners) then call them or get in touch on their social channels, don't be afraid to apply for it now!

Shop and Reward Yourself with GoTyme Bank

Do you often ask yourself if you deserve it and want to buy something off the shelf? I'm sure you do, but hopefully not end up getting a dent on your wallet. You see, GoTyme has been quite a buzz these past few months especially after launching their 5 percent per year interest rate on savings accounts, which a lot of you probably have taken advantage of (right?) especially during these hard times.

Well the good news doesn't stop there because GoTyme Bank recently rolled out "Nice Card, Nice Rewards", a crusade that shows the multitude things you can do with the GoTyme Bank Visa debit card. This means you'll get more things out of your everyday transactions. Imagine carrying this stylish debit card for your shopping, groceries, home items and still could give you rewards points! Every tap, swipe, or online purchase gets you Go Rewards Points which you can use for more discounts, free rewards plus perks on your purchases.

For starters, how about putting in 3 times the Go Rewards points on things you purchase from Robinsons Supermarket and its subsidiaries, the Marketplace, True Value, Toys R Us, even Caltex (double the Go Rewards points every Php 300) if you usually go there and pay for products and pay via GoTyme Bank.

Aside from that, you can use points for cash. You can utilize existing Go Rewards points and send it to your GoTyme Bank Everyday Account so it could earn 5% more like your other funds. You can have it debited to your account directly or use it in lieu of cash in partner merchants, whichever is convenient for you. It's a good way to save money for that gadget you always wanted or that bill you wanted to pay for online. GoTyme Bank CEO Nate Clarke puts this as something that delivers substance, a card that is truly rewarding after using it for partner shops and merchants.
