Several netizens shared their positive experiences:

@piareyrey on Tiktok said: “Never akong nag-travel ng hindi sale. And as a tipid traveler, one of the reasons I chose BDO as my credit card is because of The Great BDO Travel Sale. 2017 nung una akong nag-book sa event na ‘to and ever since, nilu-look forward ko na ‘to yearly kasi ang laki ng discount and ang daming airline and cruise partners.” 

Another Tiktok user, @patriciaangelam, shared the same sentiment, saying, “[A]s the first-born daughter I am officially in charge of helping my mom plan out our vacations, so thank God there are travel sales like The Great BDO Travel Sale that makes booking so much more convenient.”

“I know the amount of choices and overwhelming numbers when planning a family vacation can be daunting. So it’s wonderful that we’re given the option to pay three months later and have three months to pay for it. This is such a gift for me and my family as we love to travel and make memories that can never be replicated at home,” she added.
