Grab is celebrating its seventh birthday on June 6, and it’s offering its biggest promotion in the Philippines to date, with more than P7 million worth of promos, discounts and rewards, as well as marking strengthened partnerships and the introduction of new services.
“Sharing the love has always been at the core of Grab. And as we celebrate our seventh year in business, we want to give back to Filipino consumers who have helped us reach where we are right now—the leading everyday super app in the Philippines and the greater Southeast Asia,” said Grab Philippines President Brian Cu.
As part of its two-week celebration just before the big date, Grab is giving away more than P7 million worth of treats. The first week is focused on Grab services while the second one will bring users goodies from Grab’s partners, which include Max’s, 7-11, Jollibee, the SM group, Lazada and more.
Included in the promos are P77 discounts for GrabCar, P777 cashback for GrabPay and P7 Grab bundles, among others. The application will also hold a raffle for its 7 Grab Anniversary Gifts, wherein seven lucky winners each day for seven days will receive gift certificates worth up to P10,000 from Grab’s partners.
The biggest giveaway among its many promotions is raffling off one million GrabRewards points to seven lucky winners. Grab is also giving away 50,000 GrabRewards Points as consolation prizes to seven Grab users.
To qualify, Grab users have to register to the raffle promo with their name, mobile number and complete home address. They simply have to use any Grab service with eligible Grab transactions until June 4.
Among the eligible Grab transactions are GrabCar, GrabTaxi, Grab, Grab Premium Rides (minimum fare value of P150), GrabFood bookings (minimum delivery value of P300), GrabExpress deliveries and GrabRewards redemption (non-ride rewards only).
All users who have successfully completed at least one transaction of any of these Grab services during the promo period entitles the user one electronic raffle entry. Users can earn additional raffle entries for every additional transaction made with Grab.
Winners will be randomly picked via an electronic raffle on June 5 and will be awarded their winning prizes on June 6 during the Grab anniversary night.
Grab is also partnering with Hope in a Bottle and Teach for the Philippines to help champion the company’s advocacies for education development in the country. Grab is donating P1.5 million to Hope in a Bottle to build two classrooms for the Ama-Talo Elementary School in Pangasinan. For its partnership with Teach for the Philippines, on the other hand, Grab pledged P1.82 million for the 2019 to 2020 school year to support six teaching fellows in Marikina City.
