Are you searching for a rewards card that will earn you many discounts, rebates, and the likes? Maybe you have heard of the Pag Ibig Loyalty Card, a card whose tie-ups with restaurants, pharmacies, educational institutions, and others should offer you a multitude of rewards and price cuts. If you are keen on getting one, here are some of the facts that you need to keep in mind:
What is a Pag Ibig Loyalty Card?
Pag Ibig started its loyalty program in 2014 to exploit and make the most of the Pag Ibig membership of the Filipino workforce. Pag Ibig established ties with prominent companies to be able to put forth limited and unique discounts, rewards and benefits to all Pag Ibig members in the country.
In doing so, Pag Ibig Loyalty Card transcended the limitations of a normal government-issued ID. It became a welcome source of monetary relief especially for the typical Filipino who operates on a tight budget and can barely eke out a living. For this reason, the number of Pag Ibig members exploded from 8.8 million in 2010 to 14.8 million in 2014.

According to Secretary Eduardo D. Del Rosario, chairman of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council and Pag Ibig Fund Board of Trustees, the Pag Ibig Loyalty Card’s new and improved version can act as a cash card from which borrowers can withdraw their multi-purpose loans, MP2 dividends, and other monetary gains. This is indeed music to the ears of all Pag Ibig members, as the card seems to keep on adding to its functionalities over time.
Why You Should Get a Pag Ibig Loyalty Card?
1. It also acts as a Cash Card.
Pag Ibig has enlisted the services and expertise of Union Bank and Asia United Bank to bring its vision of the loyalty card being a cash card into fruition. By being a cash card, the Pag Ibig Loyalty Card is now equipped with an EMV chip for faster and safer financial transactions. Pag Ibig is not resting on its laurels, as it seeks to partner with more banks to expand the reach and capabilities of its cash card to all its card-carrying members.
2. Inexpensive Valid ID that lasts for a lifetime.
The Pag Ibig Card, unlike other government-issued IDs, need not be renewed. This represents a welcome relief to those who have to brave the interminable queues at government agencies just to have their IDs renewed. Its validity spans as long as the cardholder lives, which means that purchasing one is only a one-shot deal, saving the applicants so much time, money and effort. It is also one of the most affordable government IDs at present, with the capabilities of a debit card to boot.
3. Wide-reaching Discounts and Benefits.
Arguably, the main motivation for members in getting a Pag IBIG Loyalty Card is its diverse array of discounts and rewards. These discounts are exclusive only to cardholders, which makes getting one all the more compelling. The discounts run the whole gamut of categories, from dining, travel, to even educational ones. Name the discount, and most probably the Pag Ibig Loyalty card has it.
