Just want to share my experience today when I was at Puregold.
When I was about to pay for the groceries, I handed over my BPI Cash Card to the cashier, then she asked me if savings daw ba or current. I told her that only a signature is needed. But she insisted and again asked me if savings daw ba or current.
So I just played along but I already knew it wouldn't work for pin transactions. When all of the items were already punched in, she then asked me to encode my PIN. And as I expected, the terminal denied the transaction asking her to contact a certain number. She did this twice and again to no avail.
So again, I told her that the card should be treated like a credit card. And to her surprise, it did send an approval code when she tried again using a credit card POS terminal.
Btw, no pun intended to the cashier. Perhaps she's just new or it was her first time to encounter that kind of a transaction.
And another thing, I just want to ask anybody kung meron ba kayong experience na naaprove ang
BPI Cash Card using your PIN? I know that
some of the other debit cards (not ATM cards) can either be pin or signature. Just wondering lang for BPI Cash Card.
