Unlock Rewards with Your Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card Plus
The Pag-IBIG Loyalty Plus program partners with a network of businesses to offer valuable discounts and benefits to millions of its members nationwide. It collaborated with banks like AUB and UnionBank to create the Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card Plus. This card is more than just an official ID—it’s an ATM card and your key to unlocking exclusive rewards. Here’s how:
1. Understand your card's features.
Your Loyalty Card Plus is not just an ID; it's also a powerful tool for saving money.
- It acts as a debit card. Link it to your Pag-IBIG Fund savings for easy access to your funds, just like your other bank cards.
- It unlocks discounts and deals. Get exclusive rewards from over 350 partner establishments nationwide, including restaurants, schools, pharmacies, and more.
- It lets you access loan proceeds and dividends. Receive your Pag-IBIG Multi-Purpose Loan (MPL) proceeds and MP2 Program dividends directly through your card.
2. Explore partner establishments.
Hundreds of establishments nationwide are partnered with the program. To maximize your savings:
- Check the Pag-IBIG Fund website. Find detailed information about discounts and promos offered by each partner.
- Look for the Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card logo when shopping or dining. This logo indicates that the establishment is a partner business, so you can confidently use your card and enjoy its benefits.
- Don't hesitate to ask. Inquire about promotions for cardholders at any establishment you frequent.
3. Multiply your discounts.
While you're already saving with your card, you can boost your gains even further. Here's how to become a savvy saver:
- Combine deals. Many partner establishments offer additional promotions. For example, at George Optical, you can use your Loyalty Card Plus to get 10% off your chosen frames and another 10% off your lenses. At the HP Superstore, you can combine your 5% discount on fruits and vegetables with their offer of an extra 5% off your total purchase when you spend at least ₱200. By using your Loyalty Plus Card to combine offers, you can rack up your savings.
- Plan your purchases. Think about your bigger buys or recurring needs. Do you have upcoming tuition fees or even a big grocery trip? Strategically use your card for these purchases to make the most of the discounts available.
- Keep track of your rewards. Some partner establishments have loyalty programs where you earn points for every purchase. For example, Petron Corporation lets you earn points whenever you fuel up with your Loyalty Card Plus. You can redeem these points later for additional savings!
4. Use your card regularly.
Using your card frequently increases your savings. Fill up your gas tank and earn reward points, or use your card to pay for tuition and get a discount! For added convenience, link your card to your favorite shopping sites and payment platforms for seamless online transactions.
