PNB-PAL Mabuhay Miles NOW Mastercard: fees, interest and requirements

The PNB-PAL Mabuhay Miles NOW Mastercard has an annual fee of ₱1,000 a year, waived for the first three years, charges 3% a month on unpaid balances and needs a minimum income of ₱120,000 a year.

Verdict: Worth it if you fly often enough that its miles or lounge access are worth more than ₱1,000 a year to you. The first three years are free. Skip it if you earn under ₱120,000 a year.

From PNB Applicable Credit Card Fees and Charges (June 2026 v2). Interest cap, in force since 2023: BSP Circular No. 1165, s.2023.

₱20,000 repaid in 3 equal monthly payments at 3% a month costs ₱1,212 in interest; add the ₱1,000 annual fee and a year comes to ₱2,212, 17th lowest of 127 cards open to the public.

PNB's closest card is the PNB Cashback Titanium Mastercard. Against it, this card costs ₱1,000 a year instead of ₱2,500, earns rewards on different terms and has different perks.

BSP supervised: Philippine National Bank, universal and commercial bank, BSP institution ID 34, is on the BSP Verifier list dated Sep 28, 2026.
