All BDO personal peso/dollar savings or checking account holders of at least 12 years of age are automatically qualified for the Rewards program and will be issued a Rewards card in BDO Pay. To get started, you must activate your Rewards membership. For ways to activate, click here.
The membership level that will be assigned to you is based on your personal savings/checking account. This is determined by its Month-to-Date Average Daily Balance (MTD ADB):
Emerald Card
Less than ₱500,000 Pesos (or equivalent US Dollar) Savings or Checking Account
Sapphire Card
At least ₱500,000 Pesos (or equivalent US Dollar) Savings or Checking Account
Diamond Card
At least ₱5 Million Pesos (or equivalent US Dollar) Savings or Checking Account
Note: Upgrade/Downgrade of tier will depend on maintained ADB for one full calendar year. New tier assignment will be advised every February of the current year.
Both the Rewards card on BDO Pay and the physical card are cards you can use to make transactions in the program. The difference is that the online card cannot be used for point-of-sale transactions in SM and SM affiliates. Additionally, only Diamond members are automatically issued a physical card. It is only given upon request to Sapphire and Emerald members who were previously issued one, and for a fee. On the other hand, all members are issued a Rewards card via BDO Pay by default.
Upon activation of your Rewards membership, you will receive either an SMS or email from BDO Rewards about the overall program mechanics. For Diamond Rewards members, your respective branch officers will notify you of your welcome kits for branch pick-up.
