#ShareTheLove this Christmas season with exclusive treats from PayMaya

Traffic is a hassle, especially during the Christmas season. Sure, we hate spending an hour heading to the mall, but everyone else is in there it seems, and the lines to the cashier seem endless. But Christmas shopping needs to be done, which is why online shopping is gaining an increase in patrons. Sites like Lazada and Zalora are holding sales of all their products, further enticing customers to finish their holiday shopping online instead of stuck in traffic heading to the mall. PayMaya has always been our go-to online cash card option, and the brand has announced a lot of great ways for you to maximize your online shopping spree thanks to rebates and even bigger discounts!

For the whole month of December, account holders who transact in all establishments accepting PayMaya QR will get a 10% rebate on their purchases (up to P100 per transaction), giving them more chances to spread the love around during the holidays.

These establishments include all The SM Store and SM mall information booths nationwide; Robinsons Department Store, Robinsons Supermarket, and stores under Robinsons Store Specialists Inc., such as Topman, Topshop, G2000, Warehouse, and Dorothy Perkins in Robinsons Galleria; Ministop branches in Cyberscape Alpha and Cyberscape Beta in Ortigas; Fairmont Hotel; and The Yard in Timog, among many others.

“Christmas is a season of giving, and we’re happy to help our customers share the love over the holidays with PayMaya. This is our way of thanking our customers in helping us achieve a very fruitful year as the leader in digital payments in the Philippines,” said  Paolo Azzola, PayMaya Chief Operating Officer and Managing Director.

With PayMaya QR, shoppers may now use their mobile phones for in-store transactions via their PayMaya app by simply scanning the QR code displayed at participating merchants, allowing for convenient, secure, and hassle-free payments–a definite relief from the usual holiday stress.

Share the love online with exclusive PayMaya discounts

Spreading the Christmas cheer to all is also made easier with exclusive discounts to PayMaya account holders when they shop at Lazada and Zalora. Users can enjoy an additional 20% discount when they shop at Lazada for the whole month of December by using the code PYMYDEC.

Meanwhile, fashionistas looking to complete their holiday outfits can look forward to a 20% discount this month when they shop at ZALORA, simply by entering the code PAYMAYAHOLIDAY upon checkout. The discount rises to as much as 25% during Zalora’s Online Fever sale event on December 12 to 15 with the code PAYMAYAFEVER25.

These discounts are on top of the already deep discounts being offered by Lazada and Zalora this December.

Spread the holiday cheer through Messenger

Through our collaboration with Facebook launched last September, you can now create a PayMaya account and be able to send money as well as pay bills through the @PayMayaOfficial account in Messenger.

With PayMaya in Messenger, you get more value for your money with exclusive discounts and fantastic rebates, on top of providing a hassle-free experience when it comes to buying load, paying bills, or sending money to friends.

By linking your account to Messenger, you get 5% discount on prepaid load for yourself. Sending money to friends–whether they’re on Smart, TNT, Sun, or other mobile networks–wherever they are in the country is also as fast as sending an emoji.

And let’s face it, the holiday rush can be quite maddening, so skip the long lines when settling your bills and pay them via PayMaya in Messenger instead. What’s more, account holders who pay their Meralco bills via Messenger this December get a 10% rebate on their bills, for a maximum of P300 rebate.

“All of these privileges highlight that paying with your PayMaya is now better than simply paying with cash. Using their PayMaya accounts, shopping online and in-store, sending money to others, and purchasing load or paying bills is easier than ever. We can’t wait to share even more exciting things and experiences exclusive to PayMaya account holders that we have in store for the coming months,” shared Raymund Villanueva, Issuing Head at PayMaya.

Getting a PayMaya account is easy and instant. Just download the PayMaya app via iOS or Android and register.
