In reply to Somerset Eureka G. Ortiz. There are websites that can process payments using debit cards, while there are some that cannot. Verify with your bank if your card can be used for online purchases. I haven't tried booking flights through those websites using a debit card.

I have used Visa Debit card several times in different places. I don’t carry that much cash with me thinking it will riskier. so i pay most of my purchase especially in other countries by credit / debit card. works just fine! i looked at my statements and bills, they’re not that much either.

Just keep enough amounts in your debit card while traveling! 🙂

In reply to Yaj. As far as I know there's no additional charge for swiping overseas. I'll verify this next month ;) Thanks for sharing your experience with using it online! I'll have to try it sometime!

actually my union bank eon visa card works in online booking 🙂 ive booked many times with cebpac and i never had any issue. now i have the card with me in Qatar and am planning of using this here. havent tried it in any shop but am hoping there shouldn’t be any problems with that. just a quick question though, is there additional charge when swiping your eon card internationally?

Nice story. I have not yet used my EON on counter payments, but I’m already using them for my online purchases. Using debit card has an advantage of not worrying for future obligations, since you only use what’s on your fund, unlike credit cards that you incur debts. However, credit card users are more protected by the credit card companies. While debit card users are responsible for their own money.

i think debit cards are better to use rather than credit cards.for one thing, you only spend what you have loaded in the account. i use debit cards all the time in my online transactions.

btw, you have a nice and informative blog 🙂

Same here. I love VISA debit cards, too! I usually use them when I book for flights online and for buying stuff when I don’t have cash. 🙂 Btw, thanks for the info about Habitat for Humanity donations. God bless!

I love the EON card from Unionbank. I used that when I was in hongkong, too! 🙂 For some reason I cant use it on CebuPacific. The RCBC Visa Debit/MyWallet is more useful for online bookings 🙂
