11. I want to apply for a Mabuhay Miles MasterCard but I am afraid that I might lose the points I am earning from my existing cards which also has mileage points.

The Mabuhay Miles MasterCard has the lowest point to mile conversion at Php33. Most of the other banks are offering Php45 or higher than that which is a Php7.00 difference. You may convert the existing points you have to miles already with your old bank. This way the miles are already credited with Philippine Airlines and no longer with the issuing bank. Once this is done you can start using and maximizing the Mabuhay Miles MasterCard and generate the most points on all your purchases.
