Every Juan can fly for free!
A new GetGo card was launched last November and its has no difference from the GetGo Card. The new feature added is the multi-currency which is convenient if you're travelling. This card has no annual fees unlike GetGo Debit Card that has Php500.00 annual fee and for just Php150.00 one-time payment you can get Peso+. I will be shifting to this card right away
Getting GetGo Peso+ Card
UBP and Robinsons Mall are the distribution centers for GetGo Peso+ Card.
I enrolled for the Virtual Prepaid first then upgrade to GetGo Peso+. If you have Virtual Prepaid, just click the button below your virtual prepaid to get the Peso+ card.
I went to Robinsons Jaro since the mall is the nearest place from me to get the card. Unfortunately, they run out of GetGo Peso+ card so the Staff called their main branch to check for the availability and yes, Robinsons Iloilo has limited stocks left. The bank's already closed at that time so I traveled from Jaro to Iloilo City.
It doesn't take long to get the card, just present the reference number along with your i.d. presented when you applied and Php150.00. The teller will process and give the card immediately. The teller offered that I can load it but I passed.
Your first load will active the card.
I received an email from GetGo for additional loading partners. I will update this post after trying to load through these channels.

GetGo Peso+ Card Manual
GetGo Peso + Card comes with a manual. It has instructions on how to activate, load, transfer amount, link your GetGo number to your existing GetGo account and so on.
GetGo Peso+ Card or GetGo Debit Visa Card
I honestly preferred to get this new GetGo Peso+. The multi currency of GetGo Peso+ is a great feature that can help when travelling or even booking your return ticket in a different currency. It has no annual fee compare to Debit Visa and much cheaper. Since the card is neither savings or credit card, it is still preferable if you want to get benefits other than when you travel other than going to that place.
Its validity is longer than the Debit Visa. You can also load the card through different payment channels compare to the Debit Visa which can only be loaded through the bank.

As their site says, it depends on what card you need.
More convenient load partners!
I saw that you can load your GetGo Peso+ in 7-eleven and tried it. Its much lesser service charge for 10pesos compare to Robinson's Business Center 20pesos. It's more convenient to load since 7-eleven is everywhere and just top-up if you need to use.The service charge is deducted in the amount you load.

Example:
If exactly 200pesos you will load minus 20pesos service charge will be deducted in the amount = 180.00pesos only will be posted in your account.

What is best for me?
That depends! If you want a card mainly for online/ecommerce or mobile in-app purchases, then GetGo Virtual Prepaid will be best for you.
