The safest of all.................Passbook

Never ako nagkacredit card. Kahit makulit yung teller kakaalok pag magpaupdate ako ng balance. ATM nagkaroon ako once pero dahil kailangan lang nung panahon na yun. After nun eh sinira ko na at closed account.

Pag may kailangan bilhin online utos na lang relatives or friends pagamit credit card. hahahahahah

80% of my expenses are also via credit card. Tapos from my payroll account nililipat ko lahat sa checking account every payday. Nagiiwan lang ako 5k yung pwede ko withdrawhin for cash sa ATMs, tapos kung kailangan transfer na lang via online transaction. Para isang ATM lang ang exposed. Manakawan man yung 'disposable cash account' maliit lang.

And oh, may rebates and rewards pa sa credit card transactions. Favorite ko yung BPI promo na papalit mo ng jollibee or chowking yung receipt. Downside lang ng CC para saken is yung annual fees, which I can always waive easily.

Hi lucky. Welcome to tsikot.
1st post......wacky agad.

Correct si shadow. Ok din yang may cc, lalo na in times of emergency & wala kang cash. Useful din to, during out of town trips. Vontrol nga lang sa paggamit.

meron pa din siya magnetic strip bro.

so i guess the smart chip (so that's what it's called hehe) is a precautionary measure only for the card's/account's debit service feature only

Hindi pa ako nakalabas ng pilipinas. Year 2002 pagkagraduate ng college apply ako us visa. Binigyan ako nung terror daw na korean descent consul ng 10 years multiple entry pero hindi ko din ginamit.

Pag kumakain kami resto yung credit card ng kasama ko gamit. Pag dating sa technology medyo conservative ako. Kahit nga cellphone bar type pa din gamit ko. Never ako nagkasmartphone / tab.

Isa pa advantage ng passbook para sa akin eh walang online transfer.

You will eventually need a credit card. Proof of financial capacity din yan when you apply for utilities and visas. There's also a maximum amount of cash that you can bring when you travel.

BTT: I am running out of cash, masyado ako na paranoid sa ATM skimming. Nangyari kasi sa former colleague ko. BPI din.
