The title is a bit misleading. If you are regular user there is no need to worry.

You want to lose customers? Because that is how you lose customers. Btw, i really don’t know anyone who use their GCash on a regular basis.

I don’t use G-cash for regular basis. I don’t know trying to convince to use g-cash for daily just to keep active. You convince us much more to lose your loyal customer.

Baka naman talagang gusto ni Globe na alisin na yun mga inactive. And the P50 charge is their way of “eating” your balance until such time na zero na siya, Pag zero na puwede na siya deactivate.
Nakuha na ni Globe pera mo, nalinis pa nila data base ng mga gcash user.

The comment before is correct title is misleading and i dont blame them after all even if account is not used at all it still continues to use the resources (servers, electricty etc) of the company. If your in the IT industry it is understable.

I dont use my gcash account for a simple reason.. Because where I live there’s no machine where I can reload my gcash account. I don’t go out much, I’m not the one who pays our bills, I don’t usually text nor call, I don’t order online either.. That’s why after receiving that text and they deducted from me, I was a bit confused because I wasn’t able to use my gcash before except the points it gave me once to try using it for loading my phone. Other than that, there’s nothing more.

BRUH, just have a single activity every 6 month like loading your phone for 10 pesos. whats the big deal. what kind of DEBIT/CREDIT card that does not have an inactivity penalty? If you cant afford it, withdraw all your money in your gcash account and uninstall it. easy.
