Metrobank, along with Toyota Motor Philippines and Mastercard, launched a new credit card that’s said to be designed for motorists or car owners. Called the Toyota Platinum Card, it is a credit card that was developed in response to the rising costs of mobility-related expenses, ranging from fuel, toll fees, and maintenance, among others.
“This launch isn’t just about introducing a new card—it’s about keeping up with our customers’ evolving needs. Owning a car is a big milestone for many Filipinos, but it also comes with daily costs. The Toyota Platinum Card helps lighten that load with savings on fuel and toll fees, plus earning rewards points on everyday spending, so customers can make smarter financial choices,” said Metrobank Consumer Business Sector Head Ramon del Rosario.
Among the rewards one can take advantage of through Metrobank’s Toyota Platinum Card is the Toll and Fuel Rebate program. The said program is open to all principal and supplementary Toyota Platinum credit card holders in good credit standing. The cardholder is entitled to a three percent or P15,000 annual rebate on combined toll and fuel fees spent.
Metrobank shared that an eligible toll fee rebate would be earned from load top-up transactions using the Toyota Platinum Card made through local or global toll fee apps that allow credit card payments. Eligible fuel transactions must be transacted using the Toyota Platinum Card at any gas station globally.
On the other hand, Toyota owners can further maximize the credit card’s benefits through exclusive Toyota transactions, which include the following:
– 10 percent discount on genuine parts, accessories, and labor at Toyota dealers nationwide
– Zero percent installment for up to six months on Toyota dealer transactions
– Double reward points at the preferred Toyota dealer
– Five percent discount on Toyota Mobility rental locally
Of note, the perks on Toyota-related transactions are open to all principal and supplementary Toyota Platinum Card credit cardholders in good credit standing.
“We believe that our responsibility goes beyond manufacturing vehicles. Toyota aims to continue to improve the overall ownership experience and create value that supports our customers in their everyday lives,” Toyota Motor Philippines Head for Customer First & Value Chain Operations Mike Masamayor shared.
Autocar’s Take
Metrobank’s new Toyota Platinum credit card is a great way to add value to the daily and essential spending of the credit card holder. The Toyota Platinum Card is designed to lighten the financial load when it comes to fuel costs and toll fees, which are two of the currently affected expenses for almost every car owner due to the ongoing tension in the Middle East. As fuel prices continue to go on an upward trend, every peso or discount counts.
Not just that, the Toyota Platinum Card also gives exclusive perks to Toyota car owners, making car ownership expenses more bearable. With discounts on genuine parts, accessories, and labor, the Toyota Platinum Card is indeed designed for maximizing value for Toyota PH’s valued clients.
