Globe Wants You to Celebrate GDay Every Day!

When we arrived at the GDay Mediacon this evening, we were asked if we were ready to make GDay everyday. Sure, we are absolutely sure.

What's to come on GDay? According to Globe, they will be giving customers a whole lot more this 2024 and why not, everything is possible when GDay becomes everyday!

917 GDay Lead Peter Ramirez says "We have more ways to earn points, have more games and AI, even music with all new rewards. Opening the Globe One app and clicking join, prepaid customers can buy promos, and post paid customers can pay their bills. You will get additional points in doing several challenges. You can say Oh My G when you win raffles real time. You can also rally on several challenges for community goals and yes, you earn points from it. GFair, G activities, G Raffle Rush and more to encourage you to help and win some raffle prizes. One point is equal to 5 raffle entries, when you redeem you can instantly validate on forms weekly on Globe's channels. You might win phones, wearables, scooters, Avida Condo or trip to El Nido. Customers with multiple accounts like Globe Home and prepaid lines, you get more points too. This goes the same with Globe Business partners, at the hub you'll see more solutions. This is just the start!"

He adds "Our postpaid, platinum subscribers will have exclusive perks for top brands nationwide. There will be massive discounts, flash deals via Living it Large! Living it Live! and more!"

GFest is sold out where BINI is performing, it's a celebration to blend music, only for 25 points for tickets. Other performers like Sunkissed Lola, Jason Dhakal, with partner schools too. G Gantic Goals is where you can team up for causes where you can send points for goals to support 917 families. As of today, the cause is 61 percent and it only takes one point to help Filipinos. They want to thank all those who contributed, they want to help you give back to communities you care for. There will be more!

Crisela Magpayo Cervante of Globe's Marketing arm says "We are embracing change, we are evolving. Family is who you choose to live for. The time we spend with them is important. We want to support the needs of every home, in mobile or broadband services. We want to serve every version of the Filipino family. We can go forward together."

The year is certainly short for the things that Globe is planning especially with the way they connect with their loyal customers, and from the things we've seen at the event... being with Globe seems worth it.

For those who want to see and note of the nitty gritty details of what GDay every day means, make sure you follow their social channels because they'll be posting more of the events and mechanics for rewards on it. Make it a G Day Every Day!

PS: Events like the G Fair and Living It! will be at the BGC Amphitheater on September 20 to 21. G Fest will happen at the SMX Convention Center, but yes the BINI gig is already sold out. G Fest will be happening in the Visayas at Iloilo City's Convention Center, so make sure you make time to be a part of it!

foodpanda Launches pandaPatrol Hub on Wheels!

foodPanda is on a roll as they launch a new service that is meant to reach out to even more of their foodpanda Riders across the country. They call it pandaPatrol Hub on Wheels, huge bus that serves as a hub for legitimate panda Riders in hopes to entertain them (via lots of games), reward them (where you can use Bamboo points for foodpanda merch) and help them with any kind of foodpanda rider concerns they may have that can be answered right on the spot because their executives and officers will be there to talk to you in person as it has several seats to accommodate you inside the vehicle. 

The event was hosted by a good ol friend of mine Papa Jackson (who's a real deal biker too) and a DJ of Energy FM. He made the evening quite fun. Aside from that, artist, singer and rapper Quest went on an inspiring barrage of songs that evening and also lauded foodpanda for making efforts in bringing services to their foodpanda riders. Some very talented foodpanda riders also performed on stage the official foodpanda song, they're quite talented that they are bringing them to different provinces to do the same.

The plan is to get this bus appear in different parts of the Philippines this coming June to make sure foodpanda Riders across the country would benefit from the prizes, the rewards and services that they have rolled out this year. Thank you foodpanda and hope to see more of these activations in major cities, provinces and far flung areas soon!

Congratulations on pandaPatrol Hub on Wheels!

You Can Now Convert Your SMAC Points to PAL Mabuhay Miles and Vice Versa

Had a wonderful time at Conrad in Pasay City for the Philippine Airlines Mabuhay Miles and SM Advantage Card event aimed to elevate your travel and shopping experience as they partner up for a rewards program like no other that would be able to make you convert your Mabuhay Miles into SMAC Points and vice versa.

This was witnessed by PAL President and COO Stanley Ng, PAL Senior VP and General Counsel Atty. Carlos Luis D. Fernandez, Executive Director for SM Food Retail Group Herson Sy, COO of Digital Advantage Corp, Kevin Hartigan Go and several members of the Sy and Tan families. This is great news as you can now choose the best rewards for yourself and use either for a purchase in any SM retail corp or fly to any destination that Philippine Airlines cover. They properly call it "Shop To Fly , Fly To Shop" and every frequent flyer with PAL can convert their Mabuhay Miles points i.e. 500 Mabuhay Miles Poiints can be converted into 50 SMAC points, while any SMAC members can convert 250 SMAC Points into100 Mabuhay Miles points, so imagine the shopping, the local and international destinations you can go to right?

 

Stanley Ng the current Philippine Airlines President and Chief Operating Officer says "We are certainly evolving over at PAL Mabuhay Miles and this program will certainly make every heart of the Filipino beat. If you're into travel, shopping or dining, Mabuhay Miles will continue to be your partner everyday. This would be a great for both of our customers, we are so glad about this partnership!"

Digital Advantage Corp COO Kevin Hartigan Go says "We're helping the travel and retail sectors especially at a very crucial moment in the PH economy. It would be good to see how customers would be able to fly with their SMAC points when they shop at SM shops and brands nationwide."

This is part of Philippine Airlines' celebrations on their 81st Anniversary. It's a way to thank their most loyal members as they plan to further pursue more lifestyle partnerships for the benefit of their 5 Million customer base. SMAC on the other hand takes this to thank their 6 Million members, finding more ways to reward them every time they use the SMAC Card. 

Congratulations to PAL and SMAC, with this, people are certainly going places!

Get TinyTAN Breathable Face Masks Through Globe Rewards

My fascination with KPOP is just starting; and just recently, BTS just released their newest single Butter under their HYBE label. This is their 9th English digital single, but second all English song which means they're catering to the international audience that have been their stern supporter all these years.

Part of that is the huge Globe Kmmunity which enjoys the lovely dance pop track and with the group celebrating milestones recently, they're upping the ante by giving in to their loyal subscribers. You see, at Globe, everyday is a reward and just today, I've heard Globe Rewards is going to give BTS fans a treat by doing a flash deal tomorrow at 3PM featuring the TinyTAN Breathable Face Masks. Thing is, there will only be a limited quantity of it available in exchange of 70 Globe reward points. Well don't fret if you run out of that because they also have masks from The Faceshop, vouchers for GMovies and Upstream which you can get for 10 points.

If you're feeling a little generous, you can also donate to your favorite charities that are also available in the Globe Rewards app, which you can download on Google Play or the App Store. You can also donate to local community pantries, medical charity organizations, get medical insurance, food and streaming vouchers just because you're a loyal Globe subscriber. They also have vouchers for their 3,000 strong partner establishments so you can save a lot when you're with the blue guys. 

You're now informed, so make sure you get those lovely masks tomorrow. It will run out fast, so make sure you have you apps downloaded and those Globe Rewards points ready to be spent. You wouldn't want to lose the opportunity to get merch like these, because it just doesn't come everyday. Good thing you have Globe rewards points to do this!

Meet The Linksys Velop Dual Band Mesh Wifi System

Having wifi at your business and home seems to be more of a need now. Truth is, people who go to restaurants, coffee shops, any business establishment for that matter would probably ask about your wifi password so they don’t get nervous or agitated when they’re not online. These days, people who manage these establishments have little to no technical knowledge about setting up wifi adapters, routers, repeaters, access points, modems or gateways, or even have time for it. Hiring people to do the job even costs a lot, not to mention the grueling maintenance of it. I’ve had the privilege of doing that work for years so I know it’s not that easy. You also have to worry about protecting your own network, mind the importance of data security and balance it with the need of your customers convenience at any time of the day.

Linksys has been in the industry for years now, and what they have been able to do is to service small offices/home offices with some of the world’s greatest networking devices both when they were still under Cisco and now that they are under Belkin. The Velop Home Wifi Mesh systems for example made it easier to set up wifi networks so you the ordinary user can set up good ones without complicating things as they employ propreitary setup softwares, making each step of the connection and management of it an easy one. They even employ security, new standard technologies that include tri band and dual band mesh systems so you get excellent coverage no matter where you are in the office or at home.

These systems are seamless, use only one wifi name and can even help you conncect everything together via an app, tell you specifically where to choose a location for the other access points so you get latency, throughput or repeater related problems to not happen if you’re setting it up. This means there’s no guess work, plus you can manage guest access, security, parental control, even automated firmware upgrades so you don’t have to do it yourself. That means if there are firmware issues/bugs discovered on the device or new features added on the Linksys Velop Dual Band Mesh Wifi System, it would need less maintenance (which is a great deal if you’re managing a business).

3 nodes you can place in different spots, making sure you have proper coverage inside your home/office.

The 2.4GHz and 5GHz band would be also useful for your devices who work in that frequency. This can also work with B, G, N and AC IEEE wireless standard devices, tri band or dual band can also connect with each other, so those old ones can work with new ones in the same network - without any hitches.

Good thing is, this works fine with ISP supplied modem/gateways. If you are also iffy about wireless connection for your other gadgets, the nodes have 2 ethernet ports each so go ahead if you want to. It also self selects the clearest channel for your devices, if you’re very OC like me, I’d be very satisfied with its performance. They also took time designing this with simple clean lines, white profile so it doesn’t look ugly at all.

Visit linksys.com and their social media channels if you want to know more about it. I’ll have it in my home very soon, you should consider these in yours too.

Get Rewards from 7-Eleven with the New CLiQQ App!

Have you already gone to a 7-Eleven store and see these cute little kiosks on the side of the counter? Well it's not just there for display or loading prepaid cards for your phone, it actually does a LOT more. Do you remember that Everyday Rewards Card? They've re-branded and made it even better!

The Kiosk isn't just a place to reload your phones with lovely Smart Prepaid Cards, but this can also get you other e-pins, a place to pay for your bills, and add cash to your cards when you need to. You can download this app on the Google Play Store or the App Store today. It's got it's own bar code that you can easily register with so each time you go to a 7-Eleven store you can rack up rewards points and exchange it for merchandise available on the app. The kiosk is also an access point so if you're around the area you can use your free 70MB for wireless connection. If that's not enough, you can opt to transfer your points for credits in your wifi access so you can surf some more.

These are my current favorite products in 7-Eleven and I'm glad they can actually become reward points every Php 50 purchase. The fridge that houses most of the sandwiches, the Milk Tea and Wintermelon Tea that's pretty new, plus this thing called Go Long which is a giant version of Yakult. It's just some of the things I love from the store.

Now I had some friends with me during that small event we had at 7-Eleven so since I've got some points on my card, I sent them some points too so they can get rewards just like me. The app basically has a section where you can redeem it and it lists down some really good freebies which you can claim as soon as you open your app. Just show it to the counter and you'll get it when it's available. Aside from that, you can use these points to purchase products if you feel like you want to shop. There are tons of promos and free stuff they've given away and if you've got multiple cards, you can have them registered on the app and combine them all! That way you don't have to really bring your cards along and just have the barcode on the app scanned by the friendly 7-Eleven staff on your phone if you're purchasing from them. Now isn't that convenient?

Now it's easy for you, your friends to get connected to the internet, shop when you need it and get rewarded in every 7-Eleven store you're visiting. So go install it on your devices today and reap all those free stuff you can get at a touch of a button. 

Don't tell me I didn't tell you about it!

The 7-Eleven Hoodie Time Promo

Deena Santos of 7-Eleven Philippines

I had a wonderful time with 7-Eleven Philippines and a couple of bloggers over at Racks in Ortigas. That wonderful meet spelled the launch of 7-Eleven's newest promo called Hoodie Time. Since it's raining outside and the cold nights are becoming longer, their company is giving away these two limited edition hoodies that you won't find anywhere else but with the 24 hour convenience store that's been loved by Filipinos for over 40 years. It's been that long since they first put up their first one in the Philippines, and now you've seen how they've aggressively opened several more in almost every street corner where you are.  

How to get one? That's easy. You just have you use your 7-Eleven Official Every Day Rewards Card that's issued in all their branches nationwide to accumulate Hoodie Points aside from the regular reward points you've already been able to have these past few months. You can get these Hoodie Points by purchasing P1,000 pesos worth of Personal Care products listed here. There are a ton of them which are for men and women. Since this is very limited, you would be able to confirm your and get your exclusive jacket after a few days for processing. If you get one, you can brag about it because there are only a few people that would be able to get this one of a kind character designed hoodie or the black and gray hoodie. I've seen it in the flesh that evening and man I looked so cute in it!

This promo will only run from September 17 to October 28 which only means you have a few days to get those Hoodie Points in. 7-Eleven though is going to be keen on extending this, but just to make sure you don't run out of these cute hoodies, go right ahead and rush to the 7-Eleven stores and get the points before they end it. You might not see these collectibles ever again! Or will you next year?!

Trust me, this is too cute to miss!
