Let's face it, swiping that plastic fantastic feels oh-so-satisfying. But then reality bites, and that hefty bill arrives. Fear not, weary spender! BDO's installment plans are here to be your knight in shining (yet affordable) armor.
So You Want to Break It Down, Baby? Here's the Lowdown on BDO Installments
There are two main ways to turn your BDO credit card statement into bite-sized chunks:
Balance Transfer: Got a high-interest credit card from another bank sucking the life out of your wallet? Consider a BDO balance transfer. Think of it as credit card rehab! You can transfer your existing balance to your BDO card and enjoy a lower interest rate and convenient installments (up to 36 months!).
Purchase Convert: Did your inner shopaholic take over on a recent shopping spree? Don't worry, it happens to the best of us. With BDO's Purchase Convert program, you can convert those big purchases into manageable installments. This way, you can still enjoy your new gadgets or fancy clothes without feeling the financial strain.
Important Note: There are fees associated with both balance transfers and purchase conversions. Make sure you understand the terms and conditions before you convert.
Conquering the BDO App: Your Installment Application Journey
Applying for BDO installments is a breeze, and you can do it from the comfort of your couch (or while hiding from pesky debt collectors – just kidding... mostly). Here's how to become an installment-applying pro:
- Open the BDO app and log in with your trusty credentials. (Unless you've forgotten them, in which case, a quick Google search might be your friend).
- Navigate to the "Credit Card" section. It might be hidden amongst all the other sparkly features, but you'll find it eventually (or ask your grandma for help – she's a whiz with these things!).
- Select your desired BDO credit card. We know, you have so many amazing choices!
- Look for the "Installment Programs" option. It might be disguised as a tiny button or hidden in a sub-menu, but trust us, it's there.
- Choose between "Balance Transfer" or "Purchase Convert". Remember, pick the option that best suits your financial woes.
- Follow the on-screen instructions. This is where you'll specify the amount you want to convert and the desired installment term.
- Sit back, relax, and wait for BDO's approval. They'll typically let you know within a few business days.
Pro Tip: Having a good credit score can significantly increase your chances of approval and might even score you a lower interest rate. So, pay your bills on time, folks!
