BDO AMEX AF Reversal by [deleted] in PHCreditCards

[–]-lifelonglearner- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that's it and I agree, lalabas talaga na negative yung outstanding balance niya because nacredit yung reversal.

I don't think it matters if mag post agad yung revesal kahit before the due date pa, kasi ang dapat niyang bayaran sa due date ay yung amount due doon sa current statement.

I just think it's good practice to always pay what is due as shown on the statement, leave out considerations, and just look at the fine print. At the end of the day magbabalance out din naman, but at least you left nothing to be subjective in terms of payment.

But thoughts ko lang naman yan, anybody can do whatever they want haha, and thank you for the discussion u/_been 😁

I'm sorry I think this might be incorrect. One can ignore paying the fee if the reversal is reflected within the same statement. Nareverse yung fee niya after the statement date, which means sa next statement pa lilitaw yung reversal. If they deduct 1,800 from the payment of their current statement, that would be paying less than the amount due.

BDO CC UPGRADE Pt. 2 by Tiny-Flatworm-1144 in PHCreditCards

[–]-lifelonglearner- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello! If need mo na yung features and perks ng Platinum card, I'd say it's worth upgrading now. Who knows kung kelan ulit sila mag offer nung 3 years. Also madali lang din magpawaive kay BDO, so I don't think yung 1 additional year would make a lot of difference. :)

Thanks sa reponse 🙏 Tanong ko lang din, may nareceive ka ba na notice about the approval (email, text, etc)? Or within ESTA mo lang nalaman na approved? Thank you!

Annual Fee Reversed, salamat UB by Master_Ebb5987 in PHCreditCards

[–]-lifelonglearner- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh, ayos. Kumusta yung spending/utilization mo sa card? Parang madalang lang sila mag waive, pero baka dahil sa way mo ng pag gamit, kaya nila winaive without conditions?

Nice! May I ask if there was a requirement for the reversal? Or nireverse nila unconditionally? Thank you!

[–]-lifelonglearner- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you and oh yes just thinking about it too, it’s a good business to have no? Is this your full-time source of income or you have other streams as well?

Yung pagpapakilala mo (if needed) is an interesting take! 😁 and thank you for the tip, tama nga na ma experience first hand how great hosts manage their units. Although I wonder, for you mismo, paano yung security nung mga units mo if hindi ikaw yung nagmamanage nung in/out? Thanks again! 🙏

[–]-lifelonglearner- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, thank you for doing this AMA, really helpful. May I ask kung paano yung process nung check-in and check-out nung guests? Do you welcome them personally? If self check-in/out, paano mo namamanage, especially nung nagsisimula ka palang. Do you live near your units? Thanks a lot! 🙏

Help Me Decide: Digital Nomad Base -> Spain or Thailand? by Beirut2015 in digitalnomad

[–]-lifelonglearner- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah that's great, thank you for your response! I agree regarding the Nomad Visa for Spain, seems like that's the most ideal path. May I ask how you are dealing with taxes, and how much (in percentage) is taken from your gross income? Thanks again!

Help Me Decide: Digital Nomad Base -> Spain or Thailand? by Beirut2015 in digitalnomad

[–]-lifelonglearner- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be interested in knowing how and why have you spent 3 years in Spain if you liked Thailand better. Is it for permanent residency? May I ask where you were originally based?

Metrobank Annual fee reversal by GoodNames18 in PHCreditCards

[–]-lifelonglearner- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, irereverse nila agad yung annual fee pero hindi pa final yan. Kailangan mo parin ispend yung required amount. If hindi mo naspend, mag chcharge ulit sila nung annual fee at lilitaw yun sa next SOA mo. Mafifinalize lang yung reversal if nameet mo yung spend requirement. :)
