BPI Remittance Problems!
Saturday, November 22nd, 2008Right now, I really hate BPI! I am sharing my story here so that others will be made aware of what is going on. There are two issues I want to address.
1. The Cash advance fee of BPI credit cards has changed. It used to be 4% or P300, whichever is LOWER! Since September (as I was told by the agent on the phone), it has become 4% or P300, whichever is HIGHER!
Why was I not informed of that?! They did not send any notification or announcement. As a result, I withdrew P500 from my credit card and then behold, I was slapped with a P300 fee! That is so freaking unreasonable!!! BPI, Bank of the Philippine Islands, you should inform your clients with any changes you want to make!
2. A significant amount of money was sent to me from the United States on Nov 14. Usually, it only takes about 3-5 days to credit to my dollar account. The money appeared on my bpiexpressonline account at about 1am yesterday (20 Nov 2008)! When I tried to withdraw money at 7am, it was gone!!
Since our landline phone is not working, I wanted to check my account online, but bpiexpressonline is not working!!! Check out the following snapshot of www.bpiexpressonline.com.
If anybody here works for BPI, let me know what the heck is going on?!!!
