Did you know you can now cash in to your Maya wallet using your credit card—with zero convenience fees? That’s right—Maya is running a promo that allows users to cash in using Visa credit cards without being charged the usual 2%–3.5% service fee. I tried it myself using my BDO Visa credit card, and here’s everything you need to know before trying it yourself.



What Is the Maya Visa Credit Card Cash-In Promo?

Maya is currently offering a No Convenience Fee promo when you cash in using any Visa credit card, directly through the app. This is a major win for users who want to fund their Maya wallet without bank transfers, InstaPay, or trips to physical stores. You can now top up directly from your credit line at no additional cost—if you do it right.

Promo Period

As of writing (August 2025), the promo is ongoing, but like all promos, it may be time-limited. Check the Maya app announcements or their social media pages to see if it’s still active.





My Personal Experience with BDO Visa Credit Card

I tested the process myself using my BDO Visa credit card, and here’s how it went:

  • ✅ The transaction pushed through instantly

  • ✅ I was not charged any convenience fee

  • ✅ The amount was credited to my Maya wallet in real time

  • ✅ It worked as long as the amount was under ₱5,000

However, there were a few key limitations:

  • ⚠️ Maximum of two transactions under ₱5,000 were allowed per day

  • ⚠️ My attempts to cash in ₱5,000 or higher were declined

  • ⚠️ BDO only allowed a total of ₱9,998 (₱4,999 × 2) in one day

So if you’re using a BDO Visa credit card, you can cash in up to ₱9,998 daily using this method—as long as you split the transactions.



Important: Check for Quasi-Cash Fees

While Maya waives their own convenience fee during the promo, some banks treat wallet top-ups as “quasi-cash transactions”, which may trigger cash advance fees or interest charges.



How to Avoid This


Check your bank's policy before using their credit card

Call your bank and ask: “Do you charge quasi-cash or cash advance fees for wallet top-ups?”

Use banks that treat Maya top-ups like regular purchases (BDO Visa seems to be one of them)

Banks known for quasi-cash fees include some foreign banks, fintech cards, and even certain local Mastercard issuers. Visa cards seem to work better overall for this promo.

Apply for a BDO Credit Card now!


How to Cash In to Maya Wallet Using Your Credit Card

Here’s the full step-by-step process:

  1. Open the Maya app

  2. Tap “Cash In” from the home screen

  3. Select “Credit/Debit Card”

  4. Tap “Link a New Card” and enter your Visa credit card details

  5. Set your desired amount (keep it under ₱5,000 per transaction)

  6. Confirm the payment and complete any OTP verification from your bank

  7. Wait for the top-up to reflect—should be instant

You’ll receive confirmation from both Maya and your credit card provider.




Reminders Before You Try It


💡 Only Visa credit cards are eligible for the no-fee promo (not Mastercards)

🔐 Make sure your card supports online transactions and 3D Secure

⚠️ Some banks might decline transactions flagged as wallet top-ups

📈 If you exceed daily limits, you may need to wait 24 hours before trying again



Final Thoughts

This Maya Visa credit card cash-in promo is a smart way to add funds to your wallet for free, especially if you're investing through DragonFi Lite, paying bills, or sending money. Just be mindful of your card’s policies and transaction limits to avoid any surprise fees.

If you’re using a BDO Visa card like me, it’s a safe bet—but always start with small amounts and monitor your credit card statement after your first few transactions.

How to Cash In to Maya Wallet Using a Credit Card (with No Fees!)


The Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) has introduced a new, reduced overnight parking rate for verified passengers and other legitimate airport users, effective Friday, August 1.



The move, announced by the New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC) in a Facebook post, aims to make parking more accessible and to ensure that parking facilities are efficiently managed and available for those who genuinely use the airport.


Loading...

Under the new system, verified passengers who park their vehicles at any of the NAIA terminals (Terminal 1, 2, or 3) will be able to avail of a 50% discount on the standard overnight rate.



To qualify for the reduced rate, passengers must keep their parking ticket and boarding pass from their trip. Upon their return, they need to present both documents at the validation counter. Once verified, they will be charged a discounted rate of ₱600 for overnight parking.



While this new rate is still higher than the original ₱300 overnight rate, it is a significant reduction from the ₱1,200 rate that the NNIC implemented last October.



The NNIC stated that the new system will help to keep parking slots available and convenient for NAIA's intended users.



NAIA Slashes Overnight Parking Fee to ₱600 for Validated Passengers


If you're a Maya user hunting for higher savings interest rates, good news: up to 15% p.a. Maya Savings boost is still active as of August 1, 2025 — and yes, the Lazada and Grab "hacks" still work.



This savings trick is perfect for those who want to make the most of Maya's tiered incentive system without overspending or relying on unclear promos.

Here's a breakdown of how it works, how you can unlock up to 15%, and a step-by-step guide on using Lazada to do it — hassle-free and cost-effective.


Open Maya App

Loading...

Breakdown: Up to 15% p.a. for Select* Maya Users

Maya’s tiered interest rates are based on your spending behavior. Here’s the current setup:


Requirement Boosted Interest (on Savings Balance)


  • ✅ Base Rate 3.5% p.a. on all balances

  • ✅ Spend P35,000 via QRPh / Maya Card +6.5% p.a.

  • ✅ Spend P40,000 via Landers Maya Credit Card +3% p.a.

  • ✅ Spend P2,000 via Maya Easy Credit +2% p.a.

Total Possible Up to 15% p.a.

Note: Promos and boosted rates are for SELECT users — Maya sometimes targets based on account activity.




How to Easily Unlock the First 10% Using Lazada (Updated August 2025)

One of the simplest and most cost-efficient ways to unlock the 6.5% QRPh/Card Spend boost is through Lazada cash-ins using your Maya Wallet and card. Here's how:


Step-by-Step Lazada Hack



1. Link Your Maya Wallet/Card to Lazada


Go to Lazada > Wallet > Cash In > Cards

Add your Maya Virtual or Physical Card


2. Fund Your Maya Wallet


Make sure your Maya Wallet has at least ₱35,000. This is the spending requirement for the 6.5% interest boost.


3. Start a Cash-In on Lazada


Choose Cash In via Linked Card (your Maya card).

Enter ₱35,000 as the amount.


4. Wait for the Confirmation


Maya will send you an SMS confirmation once the cash-in is successful.


5. Get the 10% Interest


Within a few days, you should see your interest rate jump to 10% (3.5% base + 6.5% QRPh/card boost).


6. Transfer Back to Maya


Use Lazada's 1-time free bank transfer to move the ₱35,000 back to your Maya Wallet or other e-wallets.

This closes the loop — no actual net spending, but you still unlock the interest.



Why Lazada?

Cash-in is free, and they offer a 1-time bank transfer out — no fees, no hassle.



GrabPay Variant Still Works Too

Similar steps apply to GrabPay, where you can load funds via your Maya card, then cash out or use them — also counting toward the required spend. However, Lazada remains the preferred option due to ease of transfers and fee-free setup.




Final Notes

This technique works as of August 1, 2025, but Maya may update terms anytime.

These boosts are technically spend-based, so while you're moving money around, the system counts it as eligible "spend".

Always verify via the Maya app or SMS that your boosts are active.

Commuters on Metro Manila's busiest railway can now experience a faster, more convenient way to travel. The Department of Transportation (DOTr) today officially launched cashless payment options for the MRT-3, marking a significant upgrade in the urban transit system and positioning it as a pioneer in seamless payment technology.



DOTr Secretary Vince Dizon led the unveiling at the MRT-3 Ayala Station, personally demonstrating the ease of the new system. He highlighted that commuters can now simply tap their debit or credit cards directly at the gates or, for e-wallet users, generate a QR code from their mobile apps for scanning.


"There is no additional fare here," Secretary Dizon assured commuters. "The system is, whatever is deducted from your GCash, your credit card, your debit card, it is the same as if you bought a single journey ticket."


Loading...

This innovative payment setup is touted by the transport chief as the first of its kind globally, capable of accepting both Near Field Communication (NFC) taps and QR codes from a single terminal. The DOTr also announced plans to extend these same cashless options to LRT-1 and LRT-2 lines in the near future, with the support of GCash and RCBC.



How to Use GCash at MRT-3 Gates

For the millions of Filipinos who rely on e-wallets, paying for their MRT-3 ride using the GCash app is now remarkably straightforward:

STEP 1 - Open your GCash app: Ensure you have the latest version installed on your smartphone.


STEP 2 - Look for "Commute" and tap it: This dedicated icon simplifies access to the QR ticketing feature.

STEP 3 - A QR Code will appear: This unique code is your digital ticket.

STEP 4 - Tap or scan your QR Code at an MRT-3 entry gate: Simply present your phone screen with the QR code to the designated scanner.


STEP 5 - The gate will open: Proceed through the turnstile.

STEP 6 - Do the same at the exit gate: The process is identical for exiting the station, ensuring your fare is correctly calculated.


Important Note: Your GCash account must have a minimum balance of ₱28 to successfully use the Commute QR code feature. For added convenience, users can also download a copy of their Commute QR for subsequent gate uses.


Wide Range of Participating Banks

Beyond GCash, the DOTr confirmed a broad list of banks supporting the MRT-3's new cashless payment method, offering flexibility for cardholders:



  • GCash: Visa (Debit), QR Code
  • Landbank: Mastercard (Debit/Credit), Visa (Debit)
  • BPI: Visa (Debit/Credit)
  • BDO: Mastercard (Credit), Visa (Debit/Credit)
  • HSBC: Visa (Debit)
  • GOTyme: Visa (Debit)
  • Union Bank: Visa (Debit)
  • RCBC: Mastercard (Debit/Credit), Visa (Debit)
  • Metrobank: Mastercard (Credit)
  • Security Bank: Mastercard (Credit)
  • Maya: Visa (Debit/Credit)
  • Chinabank: Mastercard (Credit)


This expansion of payment options is expected to significantly reduce queuing times, improve efficiency, and enhance the overall commuting experience for MRT-3 passengers, ushering in a new era of modern urban transportation in the Philippines.

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) announced on Monday that classes at all levels will be suspended in several parts of Luzon on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, due to persistent heavy rains brought by the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat).

Bitcoin continued its historic ascent today, surging past $117,000 and even touching $118,000 early on Friday, July 11, setting a fresh all-time high.



This latest milestone extends a remarkable rally that has seen the world's largest cryptocurrency consistently break records throughout the week, previously surpassing the $111,000 and $113,000 marks.


The unprecedented surge is attributed to a confluence of factors fueling strong bullish sentiment in the crypto market. A primary driver appears to be the robust institutional demand, particularly the significant inflows of capital into spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) in major global markets.

These investment vehicles have made it easier for traditional financial institutions and investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin, legitimizing it further as an asset class.


Loading...

Adding to the positive sentiment are recent favorable policy signals, notably a perceived pro-crypto stance from the current US administration. Regulatory developments, such as ongoing discussions and legislative efforts like the GENIUS Act concerning stablecoins, are contributing to increased investor confidence and a more predictable regulatory environment for digital assets.




Bitcoin's rally also appears to be correlated with broader market trends, including the strong performance of tech stocks – exemplified by companies like Nvidia reaching a staggering $4 trillion valuation. This indicates a rising risk appetite among investors, who are increasingly comfortable allocating capital to growth-oriented and innovative assets.



Furthermore, Bitcoin's inherent fixed supply cap positions it as a potential hedge against inflation amidst ongoing global economic uncertainties. Its scarcity, combined with growing demand, continues to underpin its long-term value proposition.

As Bitcoin continues its record-breaking run, analysts are closely watching market dynamics to see if this momentum will push the cryptocurrency even higher in the coming weeks.


Bitcoin Hit All Time High at $118,000


Renewing your driver's license in the Philippines just got a whole lot easier. The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has officially rolled out its Online Driver’s License Renewal System (ODLRS), now accessible through the eGovPH mobile app.



This new digital platform is designed to offer motorists a convenient and efficient way to renew their licenses from anywhere, cutting down on travel time and long queues at LTO offices.


Loading...

LTO Chief, Assistant Secretary Atty. Vigor D. Mendoza II, emphasized the agency's commitment to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s directive to digitalize government services. "This is a better alternative for going to LTO offices since you don’t need to shell out money for transportation to our offices and don’t even need to queue in any license renewal offices," Mendoza stated, highlighting the "fast and comfortable way of transaction" even from home or office.


The LTO is continually expanding its digital services to reach all Filipinos, including those abroad, aiming to make all transactions quicker and more user-friendly.




Your Step-by-Step Guide to Online Driver's License Renewal

To take advantage of this new digital convenience, motorists need to download the eGovPH app, which is available for free on both the App Store (for iOS) and Google Play Store (for Android). After downloading and installing the app on your smartphone, follow these steps:


STEP 1: Access LTO Services via eGovPH

  • Open the eGovPH app.

  • Find the icon labeled ‘NGA’ (National Government Agency) and click it.

  • Locate and select ‘LTO.’

STEP 2: Initiate Online Driver’s Application

  • From the LTO menu, select ‘Online Driver’s Application.’

  • Click on ‘Renew Your Driver’s License.’

STEP 3: Upload Your Physical License

  • You will be prompted to upload or capture clear photos of both the front and back of your physical driver’s license.

  • Once uploaded, allow the system a minute to three minutes for analysis and validation of the card.

STEP 4: Review and Verify Details

  • After successful validation, carefully review all the displayed details for accuracy. If everything is correct, click submit.

STEP 5: Take a New Photo

  • You will then be guided to take a new photograph. Ensure you abide by the required standard format as detailed in the on-screen instructions.



Essential Prerequisites for a Smooth Online Process

To ensure a fast and hassle-free online renewal, LTO Chief Mendoza advises motorists to complete two crucial requirements before beginning the online application:

Telemedicine Medical Examination:

  1. Within the LTO ODLRS Portal (accessible via the eGovPH app), click on ‘Telemedicine.’

  2. Book an appointment for your online medical examination.

  3. Attend and complete the online medical assessment as scheduled.

Online Driver’s Enhancement Program (ODEP):

  1. Inside the LTO ODLRS Portal, click on ‘ODEP.’

  2. Complete the mandatory five-hour education program.




Online Payment and E-License Issuance

Once both the telemedicine medical examination and the ODEP are successfully completed, motorists can proceed to pay for the corresponding renewal fee online by choosing a preferred payment gateway within the app.

Shopee is my go-to app for things I needed like the ones above. If you'd like discounts and vouchers, you may get the best offers here:

LTO Chief Mendoza confirmed that a successful online transaction signifies that the driver’s license has been officially renewed. An electronic driver’s license (e-license) is automatically generated and can be immediately viewed within the eGovPH app. This e-license holds the same validity as the physical card, providing instant proof of a renewed license.

For the physical card, applicants will have the convenience of either choosing a courier service for home delivery or picking up their renewed license at a selected LTO district office. This digital transformation by the LTO aims to provide unparalleled convenience, marking a significant stride in the government's push for digitized public services.
