A night of glamor and refinement marked the launch of the ultra-exclusive PNB-PAL Mabuhay Miles World Elite Mastercard.

The full metal and contactless card is the latest offering of Philippine National Bank (PNB), created and conceptualized in partnership with another Lucio Tan Group subsidiary, Philippine Airlines (PAL), and Mastercard. The unveiling was recently held at a media event at Shangri-La The Fort, Bonifacio Global City, where top executives and business leaders were spotted.

“The choice of metal is not just a design choice—it’s a symbol of sophistication, exclusivity, and success. When you hold the PNB-PAL Mabuhay Miles World Elite Mastercard in your hand, you are holding a statement of prestige, and the experience begins the moment you feel its weight,” PNB Consumer Finance Head, First Senior Vice President Celeste Marie V. Lim said.

The privilege of owning the by-invitation-only card is extended only to customers with a strong relationship with PNB. Notable features of the PNB-PAL Mabuhay Miles World Elite Mastercard include e-commerce purchase protection, ID theft protection, and select self-enrichment offers, as well as exceptional travel privileges and a competitive low point-to-mile conversion.

Cardholders are rewarded with generous Mabuhay Miles bonuses, including 10,000 miles upon activation and 30,000 free Mabuhay Miles upon reaching PHP 150,000 spend at PAL within the first three months of card issuance. They will also get an automatic upgrade to Premier Elite PAL Mabuhay Miles membership, online discounts on select international flights, and get advance information on the special offers and promos of Philippine Airlines.

Cardholders will also enjoy birthday rewards points and access to airport lounges worldwide, along with 24/7 concierge services. In addition, they can get access to discounts on private jets, cruises, and exclusive hotel packages—plus zero liability protection and emergency support for peace of mind.

PNB President Florido P. Casuela opened the event by highlighting how the PNB-PAL Mabuhay Miles World Elite Mastercard marks a new chapter for the bank. “The PNB-PAL Mabuhay Miles World Elite Mastercard shows our unwavering commitment to serve the evolving needs of those who seek and deserve only the best,” Casuela said.

The country’s flag carrier Philippine Airlines was represented by OIC Executive Vice President and General Counsel, Atty. Carlos Luis Fernandez, “We are delighted to be the airline partner that elevates the travel experience of PNB’s elite cardholders. Our exclusive and world-class privileges will provide them with the comfort and convenience they deserve during their frequent travels,” Fernandez said.

Mastercard Country Manager Simon Calasanz further highlighted the exclusivity of the card as he said, “With this new credit card, PNB is the only bank in the Philippines to offer the complete Airline Co-brand product suite.”

Meanwhile, First Senior Vice President Celeste Marie V. Lim, Head of Consumer Finance at PNB, emphasized the bank’s commitment to providing premium services designed for those with a strong relationship with the bank. “With the PNB-PAL Mabuhay Miles World Elite Mastercard, cardholders can expect an elevated, luxurious lifestyle that begins with a simple, yet powerful, gesture: holding the future of premium banking in their hands,” Lim said.

At the launch, guests were taken on a culinary voyage through a dinner by Chef Joris Rycken, who served dishes from around the world representing elite travel experiences. Crooner Richard Poon and his music group provided the evening’s entertainment.
