In order for me to withdraw payments I received from my online ventures, I decided to get an EON Card. I applied for an EON account at Jaka Unionbank branch. When I got my EON Card within two weeks, I enrolled it into my paypal account. But for my card to be verified, I need to get the 4-digit paypal expanded use code from my EON account.

But getting the 4-digit paypal expanded use code is not at all easy. I have the hard time contacting the EON customer service (84-186 + 5). From August 7 up to August 17, 2008, no customer service officer is available to answer my call. I tried to fax and email my request for the 4-digit paypal expanded code. Though, UBP acknowledged receipt of my request and contacted me on August 15, 2008, I was not around in the office. Sad Friday for me.

Come Monday, August 18, a holiday commemorating Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino’s death anniversary, luck was in my way. I called UBP customer service and presto! A male customer service officer answered my call. He asked some questions about myself for verification. Within 5 minutes from dialing 84-186+5, I got the 4-digit paypal expanded use code.

Fortunately, holiday is a great day to call UBP customer service to get 4-digit paypal expanded use code. But I think it is not only a lucky day to get 4-digit paypal expanded use code, but also for credit card activation and other bank transactions.
