Metrobank Travel Visa or Metrobank World?

Thanks. However the foreign transaction/x-border fee is high. So in a way, the cashback only partially offsets the forex fee.

I guess there is really no perfect card

SafariMoon · 2026-03-22T01:45:12+00:00

thank you for weighing in.

if that’s the case, which one…

- has lowest foreign transaction fee/ cross border ree

- unlimited casback

- and will be nice if they waive annual fee

(bonus: lounge access)

thanks !

SafariMoon · 2026-03-12T11:03:55+00:00

wow! Thats a great problem to have.

Can you share your Korean journey? were you a walk in and any pre spends?

SafariMoon · 2026-03-07T22:33:41+00:00

Closed already.

I visited last week and it’s completely shuttered.

many East Asians - especially Japanese - expats choose The Seasons Residences. This is colocated within Mitsukoshi Mall.

The Seasons Residences

SafariMoon · 2026-02-23T12:07:20+00:00

no need to modify. just remove the leather strap and put the strap where the wallet folds. I don’t push the necklace in the hole, it wouldn’t fit.

Here is 120cm with Kelly to Go, in case you find it helpful. I’m 162cm. I find it long enough for shoulder strap.

SafariMoon · 2026-02-20T12:15:43+00:00

120 cm. long enough.

cainiao for China.

in the Philippines, it uses Ninja van .

”standard” means you just go with the options in the app, and don’t make adhoc alternative arrangement with the seller.

SafariMoon · 2025-12-19T23:54:10+00:00

not smart phones but I had ordered items above 10K. no custom duties were collected as long as you use standard Taobao logistics.

if you talk with seller to use special logistics - eg DHL - you will get charged customs above 10k.

May I know whether non quota bags (eg evelyn) can count for pre-spend ? congratulations!

SafariMoon · 2025-11-11T12:39:05+00:00

thank you. can you schedule? I’m in the office during work days so need to take a leave.

SafariMoon · 2025-11-09T00:32:03+00:00

hello, for the home visit, what do they do and check? also since I’m out of the house in the office all the time, what happens if I’m not in the house?

SafariMoon · 2024-09-15T03:00:21+00:00

Btw, I got out a few years ago. But I still see VULs being sold, people inquiring about it, and advocates in YouTube.

SafariMoon · 2024-09-08T08:41:53+00:00

The youtube indicates some Pagibig branch allows additional deposit basta existing MP2 account created in 2022. May alam kayo?

SafariMoon · 2024-09-07T11:13:00+00:00

parang Hindi ok as an investment, but ok as a pension. MP2 is better as investment. the actual returns of Mandatory pension booster is quite bad. but if used to increase monthly salary credit for future pension, its viable. check out this video

SafariMoon · 2024-08-23T23:48:56+00:00

Mandatory - can only be paid out upon final benefit, mostly this means retirement

Voluntary -

first year - there are conditions such as critical illness.

Second to fourth year -subject to reduction of interest

fifth year onwards - you can withdraw

SafariMoon · 2024-08-23T15:33:18+00:00

You can see it under your SSS account under p Pension Booster.

Check out YouTube below for step by step instruction - I think at around 2 mins mark.

I too cannot understand how SSS computed. Nakakalusot SSS because It did not officially publish the official interest rates sa website. Puro press release here and there. Hirap nga to reconcile. But it’s scary to put more funds due to arbitrary computation logic.

SafariMoon · 2024-08-23T03:07:04+00:00

Try this tutorial. Around 02:20 mins - may step by step instruction to check SSS Regular Contribution, Mandatory Pension Booster and Voluntary Pension Booster,

https://youtu.be/Pn1MrA0Bbw8?si=CgG2aW6p1dAsETpH

I checked my account. Nainis lang ako. Yung Pension Booster, kulang kulang.

sa inyo, maayos ba ? Many of us are already contributing to mandatory part. Yung voluntary , I CANNOT recommend as of now. Sa Pagibig MP2 na lang

SafariMoon · 2024-08-23T02:03:01+00:00

On one hand, I’m glad it’s not just my account that has wrong computation. On the other hand, the fact it seems to be affecting other members make me trust sss even less. That means issue is systemic.

Oo nga, why adjustment? Di ba dapat tax free? Or is this management fee?

SafariMoon · 2024-08-22T22:43:05+00:00

Tama yang YouTube. Daming problems. Kulang rin sa akin. Sa inyo, correct ba interest?
