I was surprised yesterday. A guy delivered a special package and he said it is from BDO. I thought is a credit card hehehe, well it is BDO Emerald Rewards. I already have SM Advantage Card and looking through the brochures, it works the same way. It just that Emerald members have more perks. I already activated it but I haven't transfer my SM Advantage points. Last night when I call their customer service it is already closed. I send them an email to transfer my SM Advantage points but I don't have reply yet.
Let see if I can move up to the next level. It is quite hard to earn points. P200 pesos is equivalent to 1pt which is equals to 1 peso.
How does the BDO Rewards Card work? Particularly the BDO Emerald Rewards. Is there a hidden fee or charge?
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteIt works exactly as SM advantage wherein you can get points every time you make a purchase at SM or qualified store. You can use those points to pay for your purchase at SM and qualified stores. You will also have some perks like discounts from other stores and restaurants which is not available from regular advantage card. For the perks it should be included on the letter that they send you when the card was mailed.
just want to ask, when you say it works exactly as SM Advantage card, does it mean, when i pay items in the cashier i'll just give my BDO Rewards card together with the cash?
Deleteso this is not a credit card???
ReplyDeletedefinitely not a credit card... just like I said it is the same as the SM Advantage card with more perks.
ReplyDeleteca i use bdo rewards when paying meralco bill
ReplyDeletehi lichelle,
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if you can use it to pay meralco bill. But I used to pay it when buying some items at SM or Ace Hardware. (after collecting some points)
how can i know my points in emerald rewards
ReplyDeleteYou can ask the cashier when you make a payment at SM to check your points.
ReplyDeletei have this points earned in my BDO CC which you can see on CC bills. It was just lately when BDO sent me this Emerald Rewards. What is with those points? how can i redeem those which is on the CC bills? isn't it an Emerald Reward points?
ReplyDeletenakakuha ako din ako ng card yesterday. kala ko credit card na. sayang!
DeleteHi! just want to ask how can i transfer my points from sm advantage card to BDO reward card?..thanks to anyone who can answer my query...
ReplyDeletepano ba gamitin ang Rewards Card? Dapat ba Credit Card ang gamitin as payment then swipe the rewards card? Or cash then I can use my rewards card?
ReplyDeleteHello! This is an unsolicited comment but I would like to share my knowledge regarding the program as I've been so passionate with the 3 years of my membership.
ReplyDelete- Points can be checked in 3 ways: (1) Visit any BDO branch and virtually each SM retail store (The SM Store, supermarkets, cinema, etc.) and ask any customer service personnel to have your card swiped at their POS terminals for free (2) I'm sure each SMAC member knows how to check their points balances online, and same goes for BDO Rewards members as well - visit http://www.smadvantage.com.ph/ (TIP: Always check the site every so often as you may find a lot of promos you need to take advantage of) (3) Call the BDO Rewards hotline at 702-7888, just as you would when you have activated your card.
- You can transfer your points from SMAC to BDO Rewards just by using the facility at the SMAC website.
- I'm sure every BDO Rewards member who happens to also be a SMAC member who wants to get promoted to Sapphire/Diamond much quickly by transferring points from SMAC to BDO Rewards, but I'm afraid that is not going to be the case. The points used for tier-promotion are only points earned from "qualified bank transactions" and those earned from SM and its retail partners. Yes, Shell is not included. Another tip - bonus points exclusives from Watsons do really count so watch out for them.
- This is NOT at all a substitute for your BDO Debit/Credit card as this is only a loyalty card. You can't use this to pay for bills or purchase at non-SM stores, since obviously SM owns BDO.
- For beginners, this is in all respects similar to SM Advantage wherein you earn points for everything you buy at SM stores (The SM Store, Supermarket, ACE Hardware, Watsons, etc.) and use those points to shop back at SM using your points. 1 BDO Rewards point = 1 peso. But the big (not to mention, phenomenal) difference is that BDO clients get the opportunity to earn more points just by maintaining a BDO savings account with a monthly ADB of 50k, having a BDO credit card, and even taking out a Home/Auto Loan.
- Have a BDO ATM Debit Card? Lucky you. If you use it really often at ANY store who accepts it (example: Bench/) and you shop with a minimum of P1000, that already gives you 1 point. Use it at SM stores for best results, and use the Greenbag at the supermarket to rack up unimaginable number of points the soonest time. A grocery shopping of P5000 with a greenbag for example can give you 25 points at a single instance.
- A BDO credit card holder? Tired of your options with the BDO CC Rewards catalogue? Why not convert your credit card points to BDO Rewards points instead? You can convert 1800 credit card points (for Classic Mastercard/Visa) or 1200 points (for Titanium/Platinum cards) to a whopping 250 BDO Rewards points in just one sitting. Call the BDO Customer Contact center at 631-8000.
Hope that helps. I can answer questions should you felt the need to, even tips on how to maximize your rewards experience, just reach out. =)
DISCLAIMER: I am not a BDO employee neither of SM, just a happy member. =)
Thanks,
Steven
is point equal to P1.oo? but said in the brochure, 1 point is equal to 400 ? what does that mean?
