Credit Cards with Fuel Rebates in the Philippines

Since fuel prices are highly volatile, there’s no way to control your budget but to rely on credit card rebates and promos. If you’re qualified to have your first credit card you may opt for the specific products with gas rewards. If you’re a credit cardholder but you’re still not getting fuel rebates, it’s probably time for you to make the switch.

Here’s a shortlist of some of the specialty credit cards that offer great fuel rebates, discounts, and exclusive offers.

The Hidden Value of Old Economy Cars

(Photo taken in Rome where congestion is sometimes just as bad as Manila.)

Unless you are part of the percentage that buys a car and sells it after 3 or 4 years, you'll never have problems similar to those who drive a car older than 5 years old. Depending on the brand, people usually experience problems when their car reaches 5 years.

Have You Seen the All New 2013 Toyota Vios? [Photos]

One of the most popular vehicles in the Philippines is the Toyota Vios. Because of the price (pricelist at the bottom of this post), it attracted a wide market. The new design is way better than the previous ones. The rear part is my favorite as it looks like a Camry. The front part looks a bit like Rav 4. I'm assuming that the upcoming new Toyota Altis 2013 is somewhat similar to the front part of the Toyota Vios. Check out the photos below.

Looks like leather but it's plastic - still nice though

Same here, it might look like leather but it's plastic.

Overall, it looks good and the interior looks better compared to previous versions as well! The leather-like plastic design also adds up a lot of elegance to an economy compact car. Check out the price below.
