Just when I thought I’d give up on making calls to the Philippines too much (my monthly bill is around 15,000yen!), Access Plus called me the other day to upgrade my card to platinum. Platinum?! Is that one of those cards they give only to their “special” clients? Hmmm…another one of their marketing strategies?

I was ready to say “no” but when the operator told me I’d be geting a monthly Tagalog Newspaper subscription for free, I suddenly changed my mind. (What? I’m weak with anything free. Hehehe.) Not only that, I’m also getting 10% discount every time I load my card. So what can I say. Access Plus definitely know how to keep their customers. And their marketing strategy definitely worked!

P.S. While I’m writing this, the Platinum Card came. It looks like a credit card (glossy & thick) and it has my name on it.
