The holidays have always been the perfect “excuse” for many things—to munch on your favorites, spend quality time with your family and loved ones, explore destinations and experiences, go on a shopping spree, and more. There’s really something about the season that makes everything, even the usual things, inexplicably more festive. All these beautiful moments that can be made even more delightful.
Explore and experience the holidays abroad
The season is also a perfect opportunity to travel with people you love, experience an awesome Christmas away from home, and unlock new core memories. Plan a trip to Taiwan for a chilly December. Have an exhilarating view of Taipei from 400 meters above sea level at the Taipei 101 Observatory. Embark on about a two-hour ride from Taipei and find yourself mesmerized by the beautiful serenity Sun Moon Lake has to offer. If you’re in for a modern holiday, head on to Singapore to spend the holidays for the lights, sounds, food, and name-brand shopping along Orchard. Relive good childhood memories when you visit the Disney Garden of Wonder at Floral Fantasy in Gardens by the Bay and a visit to the World of Studio Ghibli at the ArtScience Museum in Marina Bay.
Wherever this holiday takes you, as long as it’s a destination where you can create memories to cherish, it’ll definitely be one for the books! To enjoy low forex rates, no ATM withdrawal fees, and earn rewards points, make it a habit to bring and use your GoTyme Bank Visa debit card. And if you purchase your ticket via Cebu Pacific Air, you triple your Go Rewards points.
Dine and get-together
Nearly everyone makes time for the season, so take advantage of this and gather friends over good food while giving life updates and planning for the future. When gathering with folks who appreciate sensory experiences through food, you can opt for an upscale, private dining experience at Seva in San Juan. From a modern approach to classic Asian dishes, you can consider dining at Aurora in Makati. Wherever your taste and taste buds take you, always choose to pay with GoTyme to earn rewards points.
If you’d rather host your gathering at home, treat your friends and loved ones with delectable homemade dishes. Bring out your best-kept secret recipes or you can go for something simple yet impressive like chicken pastel or beef loaf. Shop for a variety of sulit grocery items from Robinsons Supermarket, Shopwise, and The Marketplace.
If this seems too much effort, you can opt to eat out. Different folks, different strokes, and different taste buds! It can be challenging choosing a restaurant. So a place with a variety of food options is a must, like The Grid at Power Plant Mall in Rockwell, and take 25 percent off your purchase with your GoTyme Bank Visa debit card. If you’re looking to hang out over pizza, head on over to Jabronis to enjoy a 50 percent discount with your GoTyme Bank Visa debit card. For coffee, booze, and chow kind of get-together, you can spend the evening at Single Origin and get 20 percent off if you use your GoTyme Bank Visa to pay.
Share the love
It’s not Christmas if it’s not about giving and caring. Shop for gifts ahead of the holiday rush for more convenience. For that foodie friend, Korean food options are available at No Brand. For less than a hundred pesos, you can get your friend a tub of potato chips, a spicy ramen, or wafer rolls. ToysRUs is loaded with playthings for kids and kids at heart. Daiso Japan offers kawaii stuff like Sanrio bag charms, zipper pouches, and pill boxes; home organization tools such as storage boxes, and personal care products like make-up tools that are useful gift options for classmates or officemates. Or a more practical route: goodies baskets from The Marketplace, Shopwise, or Robinsons Supermarket. Gifting your friends these will not only earn you friendship points but you’ll also get 3x GoRewards points when you use your GoTyme Bank Visa debit card to pay for your purchase at any of these stores.
Unlock rewards and more
Beautiful holidays are about spending time with people we love, doing things that bring us joy. Be rewarded with positive feelings—love, happiness, contentment—and wonderful core memories. Unlock more rewards when you use your GoTyme Bank Visa debit card for your holiday spending. Take advantage of perks and privileges that come with this card that keeps on giving.
