I went to the bank today to get my EON card to be able to get the funds I have in PayPal for all the PTC sites that I have been clicking and myLot funds I received. When I got to the bank I was getting ready to take out my funds for the card which everybody states as 350 pesos to claim it. I really thought I was going to pay the amount since I did not pay anything when I applied for it. Also, I remembered the lady stating I'll be paying it once I receive the card.
But to my suprise I got the card for no fee. I had it activated with a new pin already. Also, I was able to put funds on it so that once I add it on PayPal it can charge my card $1.95 to get the PayPal code.
So now I am just going to wait for my online account to be active since I have already created an account online.
How about you, did you get your card by paying the 350 pesos that is stated on the website? I am just happy to get it without any cost. Considering I stood in front of the lady for about 2 minutes trying to check if she will still ask me to pay for it. But she just thanked me and said to wait at 4pm to have the pin activated.

Sorry to burst your bubble but nothing in this world is for free. I have my EON card just like you said "FREE" because I have the card on my hand and I haven't paid anything for it. But, there's a BUT... you will never withdraw anything if you don't deposit anything on your EON card.
Pinning and getting the things done through online site is okey, but once you requested to transfer your Paypal account to EON, it will bounce back to Paypal because you suppose to "activate" your account (im not talking about pin number) by simply depositing an amount to it.
If you did not pay the bank the annual fee, they will also notify you online. So 250 from the annual fee and 100 for the deposit that is why it makes 350 pesos. Happy Mylotting.

Did you experience what you just stated earlier? It seems that this happened to you strawberrychocodahi. Good thing you gave me a heads up. But I have to say, I got my express cash card from BPI before and I did not pay anything for it as well. I will tell you soon what happens to my funds from PayPal. Thank you for sharing that, it definitely helps me to go further with the card.

Maybe it's just an error or mistake of the teller. Banks are known for their being smart and will not allow to lose money with anyone, including you. So, expect sooner or later they charge you that 350. You cannot just simply get away with it. Banks are banks.

Well I was able to get away with other banks hopefully this one gets away but if not I would gladly pay for it.

Good for you, they didn't ask you the P350 fee. I was asked to pay that amount before they issued my card. You will be billed later, I suppose.

Well, you are one lucky fellow. Hehehe. I paid for the 350php, I think that's their annual fee. I got mine a couple of months ago, and before I got the card, they made me pay for it first with the teller.
EON account is really helpful for all those Pinoys who are trying to earn online. I love my account, cause I can even check out the balance online.

When I got my Eon card the teller did give it to me without asking for payment and then I ask her where to pay, or why she didn't ask me for 350? then she went to the other lady and so they talk, as I could say from a distance and the teller come back and ask me for the payment of 350. That's it! Well good for you, they didn't ask for payment.

That's good. Mine is a different story. When I signed up for paypal, I didn't know that I needed a credit card to verify it. I was already resigned from my previous job for more than a month then. I already have funds on my paypal but I had not verified it yet so I cannot withdraw them. luckily, I saw my company ATM card, UB e-wallet, where I used to withdraw my salary. I entered the card number and voila! it went through! good thing I postponed doing my clearance!:)
