Which banks in the Philippines are the easiest to get credit cards for?
If you’ve only been employed for 4 months, it’s unlikely that a bank would give you a credit card. The normal requirement for local banks is at least 1 year of employment unless you have an account with them.I have 5 local credit cards from different banks. I had accounts at 2 of those banks when I applied for a card. Generally, with the exception of Citibank (which has a higher income requirement), the requirements to get credit cards are about the same across banks. The processing and delivery time was quite different per bank. Here’s my experience per bank (in alphabetical order!):BDO - I have an account hereApproval time: About 1 month and I had to follow up a couple timesDelivery time: 3 days but I had to call the branchBPIApproval time: More than a month – I actually forgot I applied for the credit card when I got it so I’m not sure what the approval time wasDelivery time: 1 weekCitibankApproval time: 2 weeksDelivery time: 4 daysMetrobank – I had an account hereApproval time: 2.5 weeksDelivery time: 2 weeks – I think there was a problem with the courier but Metrobank was really helpfulSecurity Bank – I didn’t have an account when I applied but I ended up opening oneApproval time: 4 daysDelivery time: 1 week – I think there was a problem with the courier but Security Bank was really helpful
How long can I stay in the Philippines with a tourist visa extension?
Three years, according to their own Philippines Immigration Bureau web site.However, (a) you need to extend your visa many times, first at 30 days, then 29 days (and get an ID Card), and then every 1, 2 or 6 months. I’m told (no personal experience) that after about 8 months they start getting curious as to why you are staying so long on a tourist visa, but they will extend it up to the full three years. And (b), each of those extensions is about PHP3,000, plus about PHP 5,000 for the ID Card (at the 2nd extension, and the ID Card is mandatory), and you have to re-register the card every year (January to March). (c) lastly, after you have been there 6 months straight, you are then required to seek permission (at about PHP1,000 or PHP2,000 - forget which) to leave - i.e. an Exit Permit.So, my suggestion is: stay about 5 months (into your third extension) and then hop on a cheap flight to a neighbouring country for a day or two ‘holiday’ from your holiday. Hong Kong, Taipei, Singapore, Bali, Jakarta or Hanoi / HCM are all good, cheap, choices (US$2–300 rtn airfare if booked well in advance) that are only a couple hours flying time away. That resets everything and you start over with 30 days as the first time (but you don’t have to get a new ID Card).Unlike most of the world, the Philippines actually wants people to stay (so you spend your money, of course, they are not altruistic, just smart). And given the extension fees, and the large numbers of tourists always there extending when I am, the extensions are funding the entire Immigration department budget I’m sure.Good luck, and enjoy your stay.

Can kids buy Visa gift cards?
yes you can but there are extra steps you need to take so the card isnt declined see Using Visa or American Express Gift Cards to Shop Online question.jpgOne of the most asked gift card questions, particularly on Yahoo Answers is whether you can use a Visa or any other bank issued gift card (American Express, Discover, or MasterCard) to shop online. The answer is yes. However, there are additional steps you have to take to prevent your card from being rejected by the merchant. The problem with using Visa (or any other bank issued) gift card online is that there is no verifiable name and address associated with the card. When buying things online, most merchants want your name and billing address to match the name and address you have on file with your card (credit, debit, or bank gift card) issuer. Therefore, before you use your Visa or other bank issued gift card, call the merchant/financial institution that issued the card or go to their website and add your name and address to the card. This will ensure that when you use the card online, the name and address you provide to the merchant for billing will match the name and address on file for the card. Once you have registered your card, you can use it online just like you would use a regular credit card. If your information (name and address) has changed since you registered your Visa gift card, call the card issuer or go online and update your information before you use the card online.
