Do you know that your Republic Bank Credit Card can provide you with superior benefits and rewards? To ensure that you are not missing out on some of the wonderful benefits that your Republic Bank Credit Card has to offer, we have developed a comprehensive list of useful tips which will help you manage your credit card and maximise the great rewards!

TIP #1 Maximise your credit card rewards

Use your Republic Bank Credit Card instead of cash for your everyday purchases such as utility, mobile and grocery bill payments and earn either Republic Bank Bonus Points or AAdvantage miles. Bonus Points can be redeemed at over 400 merchants nationwide for travel on any airline at any time or at restaurants, supermarkets, fashion outlets, home improvement stores and much more! AAdvantage miles can be redeemed at hotels and car rental companies worldwide as well as for travel on American Airlines and at 20 partner airlines including British Airways and Cathay Pacific.

TIP #2 Chip and PIN technology

Only a Republic Bank Credit Card has Chip and PIN technology. When you enter your Personal Identification Number (PIN) at all chip-enabled terminals both locally and abroad, it will ensure that your transaction is authenticated by you. Change your PIN to something that is tied to your personal information to ensure that it can be easily remembered. The PIN must always be a four (4) digit number.

TIP #6 Track your spending

Diligently monitor your credit card transactions to make sure that you are less susceptible to fraud. You can track your spending anywhere, anytime with RepublicOnline and RepublicMobile.

TIP #7 Treat your card as if it were cash

Your credit card should never be left out of your sight! Be sure to ask the waiters at your favourite restaurants if they have a wireless credit card terminal so that you can settle your bill right at the table with speed and ease, as well as eliminate possible fraudulent ‘skimming’ opportunities. If the restaurant does not have a wireless terminal, be sure to accompany the sales representative to the terminal area to complete the transaction.

TIP #8 Credit card limit increase

If you require an increase in your credit limit to cater for vacation, personal or even home expenses, simply go into any one of our 34 branches with your most recent pay slip and fill out the relevant form. Be sure to apply early to ensure that your limit increase can be processed in time for when it is needed.
