PNB-PAL Mabuhay Miles World Mastercard: fees, interest and requirements
The PNB-PAL Mabuhay Miles World Mastercard has an annual fee of ₱6,000 a year, waived in the first year, charges 3% a month on unpaid balances and needs a minimum income of ₱2,400,000 a year.
Verdict: Worth it if you fly often enough that its miles or lounge access are worth more than ₱6,000 a year to you. The first year is free. Skip it if you earn under ₱2,400,000 a year.
