METROBANK Offers TRIPLE BONUS PROMO for New Accounts!

It's the new year but I haven't seen new year resolutions posted yet, is it passe? Not needed? Or is it just inside your mind? 

Do you all want to be better at something this year? Then go and get those goals happen!

Metrobank Triple Bonus promo is ongoing. Designed for those who would want to open their savings account of 50k+ or more, this would be a great reason to open an account now.

Consumer Sector Head Monj Del Rosario says "We want to share with you the reason why we are putting customers in good hands. As bankers, we are not just championing products, we are here for every life stage to be able to meet your goals. We want to make it more rewarding and aligned with your aspirations. It's a new ERA, we want to make things easier, rewarding and aligned to your goals, and it all begins with the right mindset."

Cris Concepcion their Brand Marketing Head adds "What we do is with our brand promise, in good hands. The best partner and adviser, the right products, secure ways to bank. We believe in balance, in giving back, and we believe in financial education. This is so you can make more informed decisions, which is why we put up EARNEST by Metrobank. This is a program that gets you to learn more from content we put out. There's a decline in Filipino ways in saving, and it is concerning. There's also a spending increase which is a bad combination. We used to save only for basic stuff, and there is fear in losing out on experiences and things. With lack of knowledge, it would be hard to keep track of that. We want to make you SWOMO - Save without Missing Out. If you are more aware of bank products, you get to do more with your money. You want to get started where you want to get started. You also want to increase income, and your money to work for you. The swomo movement is something to adopt, it's financial mindfulness and gives you peace of mind. More peace of mind, less fomo and buyers remorse to help you live a full life. You can visit ERNEST by Metrobank on our official site."

Yna Pelaez their Retail Deposit and Payment Products Head explained a few things about their Triple Bonus Promo saying "Achieving goals in your life, we empower customers with our products. We understand that saving is not easy, there are challenges and temptations. From the small fees, coffee, emergencies, life uncertainty, it's the biggest savings depletor. When you open Metrobank accounts, and open with at least 50k, you get 1500 Cashback, Instapay rebates (where you get a full year of rebate, max 10 per month) so you can add it to your savings. You also get a 1 Million pesos worth of Personal Accident Insurance from AXA. All of these bonuses will help clients to save, live easier, make your goals a faster reality."

I made my Vision to Action board with a couple of things, several encouraging lines, some investment goals like gold, uitf, real estate, money market, making smart choices, including those who love and support me, and checking if I'm still okay at the end of the day. 

Now wouldn't it be the perfect time to open a new Metrobank Savings Account?

MAYA Makes July Easy to Handle with "Tipid" Hits

This July has certainly been a lot busy. With restrictions easing, my time in coffee shops to work, shopping, and events, is getting helluv a lot expensive.

Now that's not all bad news this July because the good people from MAYA is making your digital wallet even more powerful with their Tipid Hits all this month.

Perks on Paying Bills via PAYMAYA

If you haven't felt the convenience of PayMaya, I do think this is the time you should try it out. Imagine having over 550 billers in the app, you won't need applications from individual companies just to pay for your usual utilities, government offices, banks, insurance, loans, credit card, schools and charities.

What's even better is that you don't need to leave the comforts of your home just to pay bills and access your bank accounts online to cash in your PayMaya account so you can pay accordingly. Plus, tons of organizations have their own PayMaya accounts wherein you can join bayanihan efforts by accessing it too on the app. They also have integrated billers from other locales like Baguio, Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, Bicol, Cebu, Cagayan De Oro, South Cotabato, Iligan, Zamboanga and others. So if your utility provider is different from the ones in Manila, you can see them there too.

Oh and before I forget, all PayMaya users who settle two bills worth at least Php 1,500 will have Php 50 cashback, no questions asked. If you're using the PayMaya app for the first time, you can get a Php 100 cashback if you pay bills over a Php 1,000. Also, if you are paying for a credit card, loan, or insurance bill for the first time, you will get Php 50 cashback more on top of that. Rewarding no?

Download the PayMaya App on the App Store and Google Play Store. Enjoy the convenience of contact-less payments and less COVID exposure. Who knew paying bills could be so rewarding no?

Earn as much as Php 250 Cashback with PayMaya

 

 

Quick blog to tell you about this because it's almost end of February and you might miss this deal.

You see, I've been using PayMaya to pay for groceries if I'm in Robinsons Supermarket, Shopwise or Mercury Drug when I'm out for errands. I usually use the QR code payment system so I don't have to cash out large sums of money from my bank which by the way is so far away from my place. Recently, PayMaya announced a sweet deal so you can cash out Php 50 when you pay for Php 1000 worth of groceries.... and you can do it 5 times. You may check out http://pymy.co/FebGroceryQRCashback for the list of establishments participating in this promo.

See? I always take advantage of cashbacks in Paymaya :D

Again, it's only going to be until the 28th of February so you've got a few days left to get it. I've divided my purchases in different dates and done groceries in Mercury Drug and Robinsons Supermarket so I can get the max cashback. If you remember, I have had Php 1,600 worth of cashback last year, which I'm sure is easy to beat this 2021. Don't tell me I didn't tell you huh!

Go get them before it's too late!

Double Cashback on PayMaya til September 30

If there's food, I'm there! 

And what better way to become loaded this quarantine period but to order away your tears with fastfood and restaurant take out. It's convenient, fast, especially if it's a huge chore for you to cook at home and wash dishes. 😂

Anyway, I am the chosen one at home, the tribute, the one who buys stuff when needed. So when I do go out and buy food and medicine, I whip my phone out and use cashless payments via PayMaya. I have had the surprise of my life one day to have had the unbelievable experience of getting 100% cashbacks from the app returning what I paid for with the medicine and groceries I got. This thing happened about 4 times and I guess I'm a bit lucky, which is why I like to always pay with it when I can in establishments. I've had some of my friends do it too, so I don't really need to convince you to install it right? Right 😄

So anyway, the folks at PayMaya thought... What could be better than giving them cashbacks? Then said of course, give them all Double Cashbacks! You get the chance to get up to Php 500 worth of cashbacks twice if you use the #ScanToPay or pay online with your mobile phone number option with PayMaya. This includes online orders made via Facebook Messenger through merchants like Mang Inasal, Burger King, Red Ribbon, Greenwich, Chowking and more! Two chances to get that (minimum spend of Php 500) is just lovely! Aside from the food establishments, you can buy supplies at partner merchants like Robinsons Supermarket, Landers, Rustans Supermarket, Super8, Waltermart, Ministop, Shopwise, AllDay Supermarket and a whole lot more. Use the QR scan option because it's fast and convenient.

I just got my cashbacks earlier when I went to Robinsons Supermart in Jimenez. It was small though, but hey, I'll take anything! 🤣 So are you gonna do it now? Double is nice you know!

Double Cashback When You Order Food and PayMaya

This thing popped up on my PayMaya app and yes I got hungry. I was supposed to order in Chowking but I'm a burger guy so I switched to Burger King. I didn't really know you could do this now and order via Facebook Messenger. I went to the official Burger King Facebook page and clicked on their Message button. I proceeded to choose a few items by initiating the bot with the Order Now command. You can actually do this in all Jollibee Foods Corporation restaurants so it's pretty handy.

They have very minimal delivery charges, even lower than Grab. Not that I'm insinuating anything, but anything to save a buck right? Aside from that, the order system was pretty simple. Although they don't have the restaurant promos listed on the menu. 

Unlike the Grab option, you can't track the driver. The only thing that kept me assured was, I was ordering in a legit page and they tell you when everything is packed and on its way to you. I paid via PayMaya by entering my phone number and password, which then sends an otp to you confirming payment. 

I then got an online receipt plus a text message of my transaction. It also sent me an email with all the details of my order.

It only took a few minutes after the last message of Burger King before I got the orders I made. The XL Chicken and Whopper was really good, although I think I generally ordered because of the Onion Rings. That hit the spot!

What's even better than the convenient order is that I got double CASHBACK from PayMaya. Albeit only one percent this instance, I usually get 10% or 100% when this promo happens, malas lang ako today LOL! The promo though is until the end of September so if you're looking to win cashbacks, now is the right time to do it. Although, you have to make sure your account is upgraded otherwise you won't qualify for it.

So what are you waiting for? Go order in these restaurants now and pay via PayMaya so you too can get double CASHBACK. 

I'm not gonna tell you twice!
