Cebu Pacific GetGo Visa Debit and Credit Cards by UnionBank #FlyForFreeFaster Launch

     I always stay at home when I don't have events. It's my ultimate comfort zone where I feel secure, at ease and without stress. Even though there are bunch of things to do like household chores or taking good care of my son, I always feel relax at home. If you'll ask me how many times I travel or go on a vacation or staycation a year, prolly my answer will range from 0-1. I travel only when we need to go to our province to attend a special occasion. Most of what my so-called 'travels' are only by land. 

     For some this 'travel' of mine is a common thing, a day-to-day happening and the real T.R.A.V.E.L. requires more. I consider travelling abroad for a vacation luxury. Think of buying a plane ticket, booking for a hotel room, planning the itineraries, and of course the pocket money that you'll bring to enjoy your vacation. Two weeks ago, I was invited by Unionbank, GetGo, and Cebu Pacific for an overnight staycation at Ascott BGC. It's my first staycation and this event is for the books. Sharing with you some highlights of the event below and why having a Cebu Pacific GetGo Visa Debit and Credit Cards by UnionBank to #FlyFasterForFree is highly recommended for the frequent and first-time travellers :)

     Sharing with you what happened during our staycation at Ascott BGC courtesy of UnionBank last May 30-31, 2016. It was a day full of surprises- everyone was so excited to meet the new fleet of cards that will make everyone #FlyFasterForFree but bigger surprises came along that day. I was so happy, it's my first staycation with my family and they made it extra special.

     Upon our arrival at Ascott, the team from Cebu Pacific GetGo and UnionBank prepared a special game for us. They handed us our very own Cebu Pacific GetGo Visa Debit Card that day and told us to shop so we can experience how to use it.

     This card is ideal for everyday and online purchases, the Cebu Pacific GetGo Visa Debit Card by UnionBank is the first and only debit card in the market that earns GetGo Points.

     The mission that afternoon was to shop for travel essentials that we'll be bringing on our next travel destination. We headed over to R.O.X BGC to shop for things that we will bring on our trip, may it be within the country or abroad. There's a time limit so I need to think and shop fast. No need to worry about the money to spend because they've loaded our debit cards with 8,800 php to be exact.

     Whoa! That's a lot and what's more surprising is that for every swipe using the Cebu Pacific GetGo Visa Debit Card by UnionBank, I'll be earning GetGo points that I can use to book for my next travel. Time-pressured for 10 minutes but I still managed to shop for travel essentials not only for myself but for my husband and my son.

     After the challenging game, it's time to chill out to fly. This time, we were in for a night of fun and games at Unit 27 Bar + Cafe. UnionBank and Cebu Pacific team through its lifestyle rewards program, GetGo, and in conjunction with Visa, launched the newest fleet of cards that night.

     I was amazed that one card can do it all. Before, I veered away from credit cards. Actually, this is only my second credit card to date. The first one is still sitting in my emergency fund box so that I will not be tempted to use it and only in case of emergency. 

     But after learning that Cebu Pacific GetGo Visa Credit and Platinum Credit Cards have different benefits in store for frequent travelers and shoppers, I was convinced that I need a credit card in my life. More than the emergency fund, having these cards will benefit me by earning points that I can actually use to #FlyForFreeFaster! Earning GetGo Points will take me to destinations that I've never been to before.
