Metrobank has partnered with Toyota Motor Philippines and Mastercard to introduce the Toyota Platinum Card, a credit card designed to help Filipino motorists offset the rising cost of car ownership while earning rewards from everyday spending.
Formally launched at Toyota Global City in Taguig yesterday, the new card offers 3 percent rebates on fuel and toll payments both locally and abroad, with annual rebates of up to P15,000 on combined gas and toll spending. Cardholders can also earn reward points for every P20 spent.
Metrobank said the product was developed as mobility-related expenses — from fuel and maintenance to toll fees and travel — continue to rise, creating demand for financial tools that help consumers manage recurring transportation costs.
Not just about introducing a new card
“This launch isn’t just about introducing a new card — it’s about keeping up with our customers’ evolving needs,” said Ramon del Rosario, head of Metrobank’s Consumer Business Sector, noting that vehicle ownership often brings daily expenses that can strain household budgets.
Toyota vehicle owners can unlock additional benefits, including a 10 percent discount on genuine parts, accessories, and labor at Toyota dealerships; 0 percent installment plans for up to six months on dealer transactions; and double rewards points at participating Toyota dealers.
Toyota Motor Philippines said the collaboration reflects the company’s broader effort to enhance the ownership experience beyond simply selling vehicles.
