-FinAsia Global VIP Platinum Card
-Calls offering privilege card is a scam! Please be warned.
Someone called with today regarding this VIP Platinum Card. This is not a credit card but more of a leisure/travel discount card. Apparently, my credit card company gave my information to them and they're offering this card to me with a one-time membership/processing fee worth P3995.
My take is, discounts are great but i think i really don't need this card.
Any feedback on this card? Did any of you receive the same call from the same company?
I searched Google for feedback but I only found these websites, http://finasiaglobal.net/ and http://www.facebook.com/pages/Finasia-Global-Marketing-Services
It seems like this company is fairly new...

Di naman ako tinanong ng mga security questions nung nagka-usap kami. Di pa marunong yung kumakausap sa akin, walang ka-comm skills comm skills.

But here's the issue, when the credit card bill of my brother arrived, he was surprised that the Finasia payment of php3,995 is a one time payment and it was against their agreement of 12 months installment.
Also I tried to use the card in Eurotel to have discount because per indication at the back of the card it is fully transferable but the receptionist told me that their are not affiliated with this Finasia.
This is a lesson for my brother.
My cousin received a call from them and said she is qualified to a privilege card. First, they said they need to verify your card number, complete name, billing address, mother's maiden name, credit limit and the 4-digit number at the back of your card. They will also ask details about your usage, if you're a heavy user, if you pay in full, etc. They said this card can be used as discount when you purchase anything using your credit card.
She went out for groceries the next day and found out that her available balance was consumed already. She immediately reported to the issuing bank and found out that it was used for online shopping. :eek:
They use several numbers because my cousin got 3 calls in a day after giving her details. Please be careful. She was able to save one of the numbers:
02-4156353
I will update the numbers if ever she receive calls from them again.
That's right. Any online transaction will not be successful without the CVV number. This is applicable to debit cards also.
Anyways, I declined their offer, and they can't charge to my account because I haven't activated it yet.
Update: I'll just ask for a new card to be sure. Better pay P400 than what P4000.
They don't look like bank employees, parang agents lang ata sila.
I guess that's where the leak is..
I don't think the bank is allowed to divulge your information
to any 3rd party right? At least I don't think they would
You might want to check the terms and conditions of your own card to see if similar provisions exist. If so, you agreed to them when you signed the back of your card and started using it. In response to the above post, the bank is allowed to divulge your information to third parties.
BTW, I love the last sentence of Section 21. I don't think anyone knows what it means.
And here is a similar provision from BPI Express Credit Cards:
Thanks KuyaDanny!
