Gary D Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 We will be snowbirding in the Philippines over the next few years so I will be going the BB route. Would a voluntary ARC be beneficial and could there be any downsides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonjack2847 Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 I would not get one if it is not needed because if you lose it then it is a hassle to get it replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary D Posted August 23, 2019 Author Posted August 23, 2019 I was just wondering if it would help in things like banks etc. Sounds like there in no real advantage. Thanks for the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
