Metrobank Platinum Mastercard: fees, interest and requirements
The Metrobank Platinum Mastercard has an annual fee of ₱5,000 a year, waived in the first year, charges 3% a month on unpaid balances and needs a minimum income of ₱700,000 a year.
Verdict: Worth it if its perks are worth more than ₱5,000 a year to you. The first year is free. Skip it if you earn under ₱700,000 a year or if you spend a lot abroad (3.5% foreign fee).
