If there’s one thing Filipinos love to do, it’s travel — whether it’s a long-awaited family trip or a spontaneous weekend abroad. This holiday season, GCash and Klook have partnered to bring every traveler’s dream within reach. Leaders in their own fields, the two brands have created a card that promises to make trips smoother, more convenient, and more rewarding from the moment you leave home.
And who better to explain what this card is all about than one of the country’s trusted personal finance and travel voices, Jax Reyes. With over 500,000 followers on TikTok, it’s clear that Filipinos trust him when it comes to smart spending, travel hacks, and making the most out of every peso. His take on the GCash x Klook Travel Card highlights the features worth paying attention to and why this card might be the smartest thing you add to your wallet before your next flight.
Here’s a breakdown of why we think this card is the travel essential worth unwrapping.
1. It turns your everyday GCash wallet into a global travel tool
You don’t need to download another app or remember another login just to use the card. Whatever money you already have in your GCash wallet instantly becomes your travel fund. It works in over 200 countries through Visa’s global network, allowing tap payments and ATM withdrawals abroad, even when you don’t have signal.
For travelers who want simplicity and reliability, the idea of using their existing GCash wallet anywhere in the world is a huge win.
2. It helps you save on forex without needing to look for the “best” money changer
Travelers often lose money through airport exchange counters, card markups, or bad conversion options at checkout. The GCash Klook Travel Card minimizes those losses by using competitive Visa forex rates and charging zero international service fees on card transactions.
It quietly stretches your budget, meaning more food trips, more attractions, and fewer hidden deductions.
3. It comes with perks you’ll actually use, not just collect
A lot of travel cards make big promises but offer perks that feel… forgettable. This one gives you benefits that matter before, during, and after your trip.
New cardholders receive:
• a ₱1,000 airport transfer voucher
• a ₱350 Klook eSIM voucher
• a ₱1,000 annual hotel voucher
• and 5% off Klook bookings up to five times per year
For a travel card priced at ₱250 for the first 10,000 customers, the value is undeniable. These are perks travelers actually use, not coupons they leave untouched.
4. It upgrades you to Klook Gold Tier instantly
Climbing Klook’s rewards tiers normally requires multiple completed bookings. With this card, you get Gold Tier status right away.
That means:
• complimentary eSIMs on select trips
• triple the KlookCash earning potential
• over ₱6,000 worth of bonus travel coupons
• better rewards every time you book
It’s essentially a shortcut to premium travel benefits, the kind that usually takes a lot of trips to unlock.
5. It offers real-time visibility and control over spending
Travelers often overspend without realizing it until the card statement arrives. With the GCash Klook Travel Card, every transaction abroad shows up instantly in the GCash app with the peso equivalent already calculated.
This lets travelers adjust their spending on the go, instead of guessing or doing mental math in another currency.
Jax puts it best: real-time visibility means you know exactly where your money is going, giving you full control while still enjoying the moment.
The perfect gift for smarter, easier travel
The GCash Klook Travel Card isn’t a novelty item. It’s a genuinely practical travel companion that makes trips easier from the moment you land to the moment you fly home.
It’s powered by an app Filipinos already love, enhanced by a platform travelers trust, and supported by perks that matter. If you’re dreaming of exploring more in 2026, this little card might just be the most thoughtful gift you can give yourself.
