“We further enhanced EastWest Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer World and Platinum Mastercard credit cards in our continuing commitment to providing premium travel experiences to our valued customers, especially those who are fond of ‘travel hacking’,” said EastWest Bank Senior Vice President and Credit Cards Business Head Aylwin Mia P. Tamayo.

“Travel hacking” refers to the various ways one can earn points and miles toward future travel, often by strategically using credit card points or miles, or those earned with airline and hotel programs, to score discounted travel perks such as flight upgrades to first-class seats or duty-free shopping vouchers.

“With the popularity of social media influencers who show off luxury vacations booked with credit card points or accumulated travel miles, travel hacking has gone mainstream, and everyone wants a piece of the action,” Ms. Tamayo said.

The EastWest Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer World and Platinum Mastercard credit cards are perfectly designed for those who aspire to reach their milestone destinations sooner and to travel more frequently, by empowering them to earn KrisFlyer miles easily for their travel and overseas spend.

“Using these cards can open up a world of travel opportunities,” Ms. Tamayo added.

Further elevating the travel experience with the EastWest Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Mastercard credit cards, EastWest Bank unveiled these additional perks:

A generous purchase to-miles conversion rate of 1 KrisFlyer mile per P12 spent on EastWest Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer World and 1 KrisFlyer mile per P15 spent on EastWest Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Platinum, cardholders can earn more miles across various categories, including flights with Singapore Airlines and Scoot, purchases at KrisShop, Pelago, Kris+, other travel-related expenses, and online shopping spend.

With the Mastercard® Travel Pass (MTP) provided by DragonPass, cardholders will have access to over 1,300 airport lounges worldwide, including exclusive access through the Plaza Premium Group partnership. The MTP app ensures a seamless experience, providing real-time updates on lounge access, travel information, and dining offers.

A low 1.70% fee on international purchases allows cardholders to indulge in guilt-free shopping abroad. The cards provide up to P20 million in travel insurance coverage for the cardholder and their family when travel expenses are charged to the card.

Cardholders can access exclusive travel perks, including guaranteed lowest hotel rates and personalized trip recommendations through a dedicated Lifestyle Manager, with the Mastercard® Travel and Lifestyle Services.

The EastWest Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Mastercard credit cards also now sport a new premium and sophisticated design that is recyclable and environmentally friendly.

“As we commemorate EastWest’s 30th Anniversary, we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible for our customers,” said Ms. Tamayo. “For many Filipinos, traveling to many parts of the world has become a bucket-list dream. Our strong partnership with Singapore Airlines Group and Mastercard helps us demonstrate our commitment and continued focus on achieving our customers’ dreams.”

Penbose Diapers Review

We’ve been using Penbose Diapers over the last several months and we could say that it’s one of our best diaper discoveries since switching away from Pampers Diapers. We’ve been looking for a good and affordable diaper brand that we can use as a replacement for Pampers Diapers because these won’t fit our eldest child anymore. Each time we put Pampers Diapers on him, we had to be always careful for fear that the sides would rip.

I have to admit though that Pampers Diapers are highly absorbent and are thus really good when it comes to keeping kids dry for long.
