💳 Get your free digital card

In November 2025, GCash announced the launch of their new GCash Klook Card¹ - a collaboration of GCash’s smart financial tools along with Klook’s travel expertise and breadth.

This guide looks at the Klook GCash travel card features and benefits. We'll also introduce the Wise card, a handy travel companion to make seamless card payments when you're overseas.

What is the GCash Klook Card?

The newly announced GCash Klook Card is a collaboration between GCash and Klook, for use when spending at home and abroad, in person and online, and for making ATM withdrawals.

The card also comes with some great welcome benefits, including a free airport transfer and eSIM, and a hotel stay voucher. Card holders get an automatic upgrade to Klook Gold Membership, which then allows you to earn Klook rewards at a faster rate when you spend on travel and events on the Klook app.

The GCash Klook Card is powered by the Visa network which means your card can be accepted in 200+ countries for spending and cash withdrawals. To use your GCash card abroad just look out for the Visa logo on merchant payment terminals or at the ATM.

Key features of the GCash Klook travel card

With the Klook GCash travel card you can spend and make cash withdrawals, and convert from your PHP balance to cover foreign currency payments using the network exchange rate. You’ll also have the opportunity to get an introductory GCash Klook travel pack and an upgrade to Klook Gold Membership to earn rewards faster.

Let’s look through the key features of the GCash Klook travel card in more detail:

Rewards and benefits

When you sign up for the Klook GCash card you’ll get a great welcome travel pack which includes vouchers for the following:

• 1x free airport transfer voucher (up to 1,000 PHP value)
• 1x free Klook eSIM voucher (up to 350 PHP value)
• 1x free Klook hotel voucher (up to 1,000, PHP with minimum spend of 8,000 PHP)

As well as this, you will be automatically upgraded to Klook Gold Tier membership which gets you extra benefits, including earning KlookCash at a 3x higher rate on all eligible bookings made on the Klook platform. As well as earning more Klook rewards you may also benefit from:

• Promotional offers on certain bookings
• Free eSIMs
• Priority customer support

All in all, Klook and GCash state that the monetary value of your benefits is over 10,000 PHP.

Fees, exchange rates and currency conversion

While some of the details about the GCash Klook Card fees aren’t yet available, there are some important details which have already been released.

If you're a new applicant you may be eligible for a promotional 250 PHP fee for the card itself. However, this is a limited time offer, and availability may be limited.

Another detail that’s important if you want to use the GCash Klook Card for travel purposes, the card offers zero foreign exchange (FX) service fees and low forex rates. This may mean you unlock a better rate compared to using a bank issued debit card which has a foreign transaction fee to pay.

Can you use the GCash Klook Card overseas?

Yes - you use the GCash Klook Card overseas anywhere Visa is accepted. This is in over 200 countries around the world.

If you’re abroad and want to use your Klook GCash card you’ll just need to look for the Visa logo which will be prominently displayed at the payment terminal or ATM. Remember to look out for fees, particularly when you’re using an ATM. Even if the GCash ATM fee is low or waived entirely, the ATM operator might have their own costs which are usually shown on screen before you complete your withdrawal.

Remember to bring along the Wise card - To worry less about additional fees and focus more on your travel experiences

A physical Wise card can be ordered for a low fee of 369.60 PHP. Having a physical Wise card allows you to make chip and pin payments, as well as 2 free ATM withdrawals to the value of 12,000 PHP each month, before low fees start.

While abroad, you can choose to spend directly in PHP and let auto-conversion do the trick, or convert to your desired currency with your Wise account. Either way, you’ll get the exchange rate you see on Google, with low, transparent fees from 0.57%.
