Transactions not eligible for KrisFlyer miles earning include, but are not limited to, local cash advance, quasi-cash, gaming, gambling, online trading and other related transactions, InstaCash, Balance Transfer and Convert-to-Installment transactions, refunded, disputed, unauthorized or fraudulent transactions, annual membership fees and other fees and charges. The Bank reserves the right to exclude the eligibility of transactions for KrisFlyer miles earning.
    4. KrisFlyer miles are earned once eligible transactions are posted to the Card Account, not on the transaction dates. Transactions made by the Supplementary Cardholder shall form part of the Principal Cardholder’s transactions and shall qualify for KrisFlyer miles earning under the Programme.
    5. KrisFlyer miles shall be computed on a per eligible transaction basis, rounded down to the nearest mile, excluding decimal values. For purposes of this computation, each transaction must have a minimum value of Php45 for Platinum Cards and Php36 for World Cards. The computation of miles will be based on increments of Php45 and Php36 for Platinum and World Cards, respectively. Please see below for a representative table on how KrisFlyer miles are computed using a Platinum Card:
       
      Transaction Type Transaction Amount Equivalent Miles
      Transaction 1: Local spend Php700 = Php700/Php45 = 15 miles
      Transaction 2: Hotel booking Php12,000 = Php12,000/Php45 = 800 miles
      Transaction 3: Local cash advance Php5,000 = 0 miles
      Transaction 4: Merchant installment Php9,000, payable in 3 months = Php9,000/3 mos.
      = Php3,000/ Php45
      = 66 miles each month that the monthly amortization is posted
      Total miles earned for the month   =881 miles

    6. KrisFlyer miles earned for the current month shall be accrued to the Cardholder’s account on the next cycle and shall be reflected on the next cycle’s Statement of Account (SOA). Unless the Bank hears from the Cardholder within thirty (30) days upon delivery of his/her monthly SOA to his/her billing address and/or e-mail address, the KrisFlyer miles earned indicated in the SOA shall be considered correct and final.
    7. KrisFlyer miles earned per statement shall be automatically redeemed ("auto-redeemed") and posted to Cardholder’s KrisFlyer Account after two (2) weeks. If the Cardholder opts to cancel his/her Card Account prior to the scheduled auto-redemption of earned miles, the unredeemed miles will be forfeited in favor of the Bank.
    8. Once credited to the Cardholder's KrisFlyer Account, the KrisFlyer miles will have a three-year validity from the time of crediting. Cardholders may refer to their KrisFlyer statement of account for details on their KrisFlyer miles validity.

      Note: The KrisFlyer miles for PPS Club members will not expire, as long as they remain PPS Club members.

    9. A KrisFlyer Account which has not recorded any activity for a consecutive period of thirty-nine (39) months from the date of the last recorded activity will be closed without prior notice. A KrisFlyer Account that has been inactive for a consecutive period of eighteen (18) months from the date of commencement of membership will also be closed. In cases where the KrisFlyer Account is closed, the Bank shall assign a new KrisFlyer membership number where earned KrisFlyer miles shall be credited. Cardholders may refer to the KrisFlyer Membership Terms and Conditions to know more about activities in their KrisFlyer Account.
    10. Should Cardholder have two (2) existing KrisFlyer Accounts, s/he should call KrisFlyer Membership Services to request for consolidation of his/her KrisFlyer Accounts.

      3. The Cardholder's Account is not in good standing.
    12. The Bank shall reverse auto-redeemed KrisFlyer miles related to any disputed/charged back transaction resolved in favor of the Cardholder. The Bank shall be entitled to reverse the corresponding KrisFlyer miles auto-redeemed even if such reversal causes the Card Account to have a negative number of outstanding KrisFlyer miles.
    13. Manual redemption of earned KrisFlyer miles shall not be allowed.
    14. KrisFlyer miles are not transferable to any other EastWest credit card account even if the other account is under the same name.
    15. Once a Cardholder’s account becomes thirty (30) days past due, Cardholder’s earned KrisFlyer miles shall not be auto-redeemed. These miles will be redeemed by the Bank on the next Cycle Month after the Cardholder updates payment on his/her Card Account, provided that said account has not reached sixty (60) days past due.
    16. The Bank reserves the right to temporarily or permanently disqualify any Cardholder from the Programme and forfeit any KrisFlyer miles earned in favor of the Bank, if:
