Christmas is known for being the season of giving and sharing happiness. Although godparents are not really required to give something to their godchild, it has been a custom in the Philippines for kids to ask their ninongs and ninangs for aguinaldo (a Christmas gift or bonus) as Christmas draws near. To make the gift of giving easier and more rewarding for both parties, end-to-end digital payments ecosystem enabler PayMaya recently launched their “PayMayaguinaldo” campaign, where users stand a chance to win as much as 1 million pesos in their Grand raffle draw and up to P285,000 worth of prizes to in weekly raffle draws just by using the PayMaya app!

Starting today (November 23, 2020) until January 10, 2021, PayMaya users will automatically earn a raffle entry every time they #ScanToPay via PayMaya QR at any of their partner merchants, pay via PayMaya-registered mobile number when buying items online, or when purchasing a minimum of Php 100 prepaid load or other treats via the PayMaya in-app shop.

It’s not a one-way reward, though! Every purchase is equivalent to a PayMayaguinaldo for micro entrepreneurs in underprivileged communities in the Philippines as well. PayMaya will be donating Php 1 million Grand Aguinaldo to Gawad Kalinga to help establish more resilient communities via micro-entrepreneurship around the country, too!

#BETTERQR PERKS

For the ninongs and ninangs who are brave enough to go Christmas shopping in malls, best to scan-to-pay via Paymaya QR for contactless payments. Better safe than sorry now that there’s still a virus going around! Here’s a list of perks you can get per mall:

• The SM Store: 100 motorcycles are being given away when you #ScanToPay at least P1,500 at The SM Store until January 15, 2021.
• MegaWorld Lifestyle Malls: Instant P200 cashback will be added to your account when you spend an accumulated amount of P2,000 PLUS a chance to win P10,000 when you #ScanToPay at least P500 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 P200 cashback reward twice during the promo period, for a total of P400 savings!
