Reporting for Duty: Blocking that Missing Card
First things first, you gotta play it safe. Imagine the horror of someone else maxing out your credit card on, let's say, a lifetime supply of gummy bears! Shudder. So, grab your phone (or channel your inner Usain Bolt to the nearest BPI branch) and do this:
- Phone it In: Dial BPI's 24/7 Contact Center at ( +632) 889-10000. Be prepared to unleash your inner detective and answer some security questions to prove you're the rightful owner of that missing plastic.
- Branch Out: Head to any BPI branch with a valid ID. The friendly BPI staff will be happy to help you block that card faster than you can say "replacement."
Important Note: While you're blocking that card, mention you want a replacement. This saves you time and ensures you're not left credit-card-less forever.
QuickTip: Focus on what feels most relevant.
The Waiting Game (with a Twist!)
Once you've blocked that card, it's time to play the waiting game. But hey, at least you know your card can't be used for any questionable purchases (like that questionable toupee you saw online). Here's the usual wait time:
- Metro Manila: 3-5 banking days (because hey, traffic!)
- Provinces: 7-10 banking days (patience is a virtue, as they say)
Top Tip: BPI offers SMS notifications. Sign up for these bad boys, and you'll get a message when your new card is ready for pick-up. No more refreshing your email like a hawk!
