Just like what the title of this post said, I already got my EON Card (Visa Electron) from Union Bank. Last Monday, I went to Tacloban City just to pick this up and deposited PhP3,000.00 for the Expanded-Use enrollment of Paypal and for my other online transaction.
Actually, last October 2007, I applied for EON Card (VISA Electron) of Union Bank but I was not interested to get it from the Tacloban City branch of Union Bank because of the few reasons listed below:
Union Bank has no branch here in Maasin City.
I don’t know yet if I can transfer money from my Metrobank-Maasin City accounts to the EON Card of Union Bank.
If I couldn’t transfer money from my Metrobank accounts to EON Card, then I need to visit Union Bank’s ATM or Teller in order to deposit money which is in Tacloban City only. It will be fine if there’s a Union Bank branch in Ormoc City because I am always in Ormoc City every Wednesday but Union Bank doesn’t have branch there.
I also applied for the Value Mastercard of Metrobank.
In my case, using a credit card is much better than using the EON card of a bank that has no branch here in my base-city.
Now, soon as I received the Value Mastercard of Metrobank, I immediately set it to my PayPal account to verify my ownership of that PayPal account. PayPal successfully charged $1.95 my Value Mastercard credit card as part of the Expanded-Use enrollment of my PayPal account. I waited for my Value Mastercard credit card account statement to arrive. When I lost patient in waiting for it, I went to the Metrobank Maasin City branch to ask a copy of the account statement. The bank’s personnel called the Cebu office of Metrobank Cards. Then the copy of the account statement was sent via FAX.
Finally, I got the PayPal’s Expanded-Use number. I immediately logged-in to my PayPal account and tried to complete the Expanded-Use enrollment for my Value Mastercard. But the problem is, the Expanded-Use or Expu number I entered is incorrect, so PayPal suspended my Value Mastercard credit card.
However, PayPal’s system suggested that I should sent the following documents to their office via FAX at FAX Number 08707-303-190:
Copy of the Value Mastercard account statement
Photocopy of my two government issued ID’s
Photocopy of my Value Mastercard credit card (back to back)
But the problem is, everytime I dialed that said to be FAX number, an answering machine tells me that I am dialing a disconnected number. I immediately emailed PayPal about this and asked them for another but available FAX number. However, until now I received no response from PayPal.
So, I have no choice but to pick my EON card up at the Union Bank-Tacloban branch.
But then I am again facing another problem because my EON Card can be used after it is activated by the Union Bank Cebu office. Union bank’s personnel in Tacloban City told me that I have to wait for 10 to 15 office days before I can use my EON Card.
Received Ad-Publishing Payment
Actually, my PayPal account received already the amount of $148.65 from an ad-broker. It’s my January 2008 earning from that certain ad-broker. But I am worried that my other income from other ad-brokers are blocked or I mean denied by PayPal because of the receiving limit of my PayPal account. And I can only lift this limit up when my PayPal account will be verified using credit card or debit card.
For now, I can do nothing but to wait for the time that my EON card will be fully activated.
