Noong December 31, nag-apply ago ng My ePrepaid Card online via sa Facebook page na BPI Prepaid. At nakuha ko and card kahapon sa Megamall branch ng Bank of the Philippines.
Isang dahilan kung bait ago kumuha ng nasabing prepaid card, ay meron akong alternative sa BPI Savings ATM card ko, at sa pera na cash na dala ko.
Isa pang dahlia kung bakit ako kumuha, ay kung sakaling may nagustuhan ako na:
1) app or mag apps sa App Store, at sa Google Play;
2) in-app purchases sa App Store, at sa Google Play;
3) nagustuhan na paid apps sa App Store, at sa Google Play;
4) mga magazines, books and movies sa Google Play. I don’t know why Google Play Music is not available here in the Philippines
5) mga movies, TV shows, and music on iTunes. I don’t know if the card be use/d on App Store
6) items that can be bought from online stores
7) items that can be bought from local stores here in the Philippines. I don’t know if can use/d on stores that offer services
