Allied Bank, PAL and MasterCard launch 'world-class' plastic money

-

The Allied Banking Corp. (Allied Bank), along with two key institutions in their respective fields, has launched two credit cards stamped with “world” class status.

The Philippine Airlines (PAL) and MasterCard locked arms with Allied Bank to introduce the Platinum Class and World Class plastic money said to be the most premium class designed to outweigh competition.

Allied Bank’s first vice president and Card Center head Fol Rana Jr. said that they expect their card base to balloon to 70,000 with the new introductions from 25,000.

“We will continue to be on an aggressive roll. And with Mabuhay Miles World MasterCard, we expect to gain dominance in the credit card field – way above and ahead of the rest,” Rana added.

The Mabuhay Miles WORLD MasterCard possesses both wide-reaching prestige and a highly-valued incentive.

Its frequent flyer point to mile conversion is the lowest at P38, which can also be translated into airline service class upgrades— a virtual boost complementing the jet-setting lifestyle of its target users.

Most card issuers rate a P45 point to mile conversion rate.

Cardholders have full access to their credit line anywhere in the world, along with separate peso-dollar billings for their local and international transactions. It offers the option to pay dollar billings in peso currency, which will automatically be based on the exchange rate of the day.

The WORLD Class card facilitates bookings on flights, lodgings, events, business, entertainment and more through the personalized assistance of Allied World Assist. 

This exclusive concierge service is available to Mabuhay Miles World MasterCard users 24/7.

Allied World Assist will be the user’s gateway to a vast number of privileged deals from merchants, services and products across the globe.

Cardholders also get automatic round-the-clock emergency medical and travel support via International SOS (ISOS), the world’s leading provider of medical assistance, international healthcare, security services and outsourced customer care.

With over 5,000 profes-sionals operating in 70 countries, it helps organizations manage the health and safety risksfacing their travelers, global workforce and customers. ISOS works in partnership with businesses, governments and non-profit organizations and currently provide key services to 82 percent of the Fortune Global 100 companies.

Meanwhile, annual membership is free for the first year, extending to a 50 percent discount on the same due if the cardholder has an active Allied Bank MasterCard.

While Mabuhay Miles World MasterCard is acquired by exclusive invitation only, it bestows much of its privileges to its supplementary cardholders with the same first-year annual fees waived.

The Platinum Option is the fast-rewarding card that packs an impressive range of benefits second only to its exclusive counterpart.

It also boasts of the convenience and flexibility of separate peso-dollar billings, the lowest P38 to Mabuhay Mile conversion towards earning faster free flights aboard Philippine Airlines, a waived first-year annual fee and a wide array of attractive perks.

Some of the benefits of the Allied card is the Zero-percent Allied Payment Plan (ZAPP) Edge, which allows cardholders the pleasure of acquiring their favorite things without interest.  Plus, they can choose from plans ranging from three, six, 12, 18—even up to 24 months.

Easy Cash Advance via My Ally Instant Cash allows cardholders as much as 50 percent of their credit limit in more than 820,000 MasterCard ATMs worldwide, along with over 5,000 BancNet, and more than 230 Allied Bank ATMs nationwide.

For a quick shift of other credit card balances to Mabuhay Miles World MasterCard, a low interest rate advantage can be enjoyed through Allied Balance Transfer.

For card inquiries, there’s Ally Live, a comprehensive and efficient service hotline is available for card inquiries, with Metro Manila and Domestic toll-free numbers: 818-9-818 and 1800-10-8189818.
