With PayMayaguinaldo, Christmas will be a time to give and to receive in a big way
Christmas 2020 will be such a different Christmas from all our past Christmases. A volcanic eruption, the pandemic, several strong typhoons, and floods have been multiple whammies for a lot of Filipinos. I’ve been on voluntary lockdown since March and had to learn how to do from home most of the things I used to go out for, pre-pandemic.
The real spirit of Christmas is not dead. More than being a time to receive gifts, we are being challenged to help our fellow Filipinos who have suffered so much through all these disasters. I have already donated through PayMaya to help out during these times but somehow, you know you can always do more.
Through its various Christmas campaigns, PayMaya is making it possible for all of us PayMaya users to continue contributing to relief efforts while also getting a chance to win prizes through cashless transactions. These were announced during a recent blogger event held online with PayMaya.
A PayMayaguinaldo that goes both ways
PayMaya does it both ways!
It is giving Gawad Kalinga P1 million to help establish more resilient communities via micro-entrepreneurship around the country. But that’s not all! PayMaya users also get the chance to win up to PhP 285,000 worth of prizes to be given away in weekly raffle draws from today until January 10, 2021 AND a grand aguinaldo of P1 million!
You can earn one raffle entry each time you shop cashless and #ScanToPay via PayMaya QR at any of their partner merchants using your PayMaya-registered mobile number. You can also earn raffle entries by purchasing prepaid load and other treats at the PayMaya in-app shop with a minimum PhP 100 purchase. With each purchase, you are also giving a PayMayaguinaldo to help micro-entrepreneurs in underprivileged communities through Gawad Kalinga.
Instant Discounts/Vouchers from the PayMayaguinaldo Christmas Store
Several brands are offering discounts and vouchers to PayMaya users. Get exclusive deals from brands such as Caltex, Unilever, Goldilocks, Rustan’s, Boozy, Sariwon Korean Barbecue, Soban K-Town Grill, Botejyu, Wingzone, Pepi Cubano, Papermoon, FreshMart, Memo Xpress, Seaoil, Sibyullee, Vamos, and Pet Warehouse, among others.
Shop and pay using #TheBetterQR
Several malls are now offering promos for using #ScanToPay with PayMaya QR. Don’t pay cash when you get more by paying using #TheBetterQR. It spares you from bringing and handling cash and it is so much safer.
- The SM Store – #ScanToPay at least PhP 1,500 at The SM Store and get a chance to take home one of the 100 motorcycles being given away. Promo good till January 15, 2021.
- Megaworld Lifestyle Malls – Get an instant PhP 200 cashback when you spend an accumulated amount of PhP 2,000 + a chance to win PhP 10,000 when you #ScanToPay at least PhP 500 using PayMaya QR at participating merchants in Megaworld Lifestyle Malls (Eastwood City, Lucky Chinatown Mall, Forbes Town, Southwoods Mall, Uptown Mall, McKinley Hill, Newport Mall, and Festival Walk Mall Iloilo) until January 10, 2021. You can enjoy the PhP 200 cashback reward twice during the promo period, for a total of PhP 400 savings!
- Power Plant Mall and Santolan Town Plaza – Enjoy exclusive perks and prizes when you shop at participating merchants using PayMaya QR.
Oh, don’t forget that all these perks are on top of the well-loved “Balik Bayad” (cashback) from 1% up to 100% that you get with every purchase.
PayMayaguinaldo convenience for Ninongs and Ninangs
I’m a ninang who will stay at home this Christmas so I can appreciate it when I am given a way to shop for gifts without leaving home.
If you are a ninong or ninang, there are several ways to send gifts to your inaanaks. One, shop for your gifts online or in-store and use the PayMaya QR code. You’ll even get to enjoy the perks that the malls I mentioned above are giving to their shoppers. Two, send treats to them from the PayMaya in-app shop. Three, perahin nalang ang regalo? Yes, you can! Send them aguinaldo money from PayMaya. These options are all possible from the safety of your home and very convenient as well.
Still got no PayMaya?
You do not have a PayMaya account? No worries. It is very easy to set up.
- Download the PayMaya app from Google Play or the App Store.
- Create an account by using my invite code (p0si0g). That is p-“zero”-s-i-“zero”-g. You will get PhP 100 for free after you sign up using my invite code, upgrade by having your identity verified, and add money to your account.
- There is no number 3. You just need TWO steps. (See? Told you it was that easy!)
You won’t need to look elsewhere when preparing for Christmas this year. PayMayaguinaldo brings you the convenience of an end-to-end digital payments ecosystem enabler with services that connect consumers, merchants, and government. Your digital purchases will be helping our less fortunate kababayans, and you get so many chances to join PayMaya’s raffle as well as the promos of its participating merchants.
Happy PayMayaguinaldo, everyone!
