7 TIPS to SAVE MORE During RAYA Shopping 🛒

“Shop More Pay Less” – We all love this slogan and our attention would be shifted for seconds when we hear this! 😊 In this writing, I share with you a few TIPS to SAVE MORE when shopping especially when Hari Raya is around the corner!

Source: GIPHY

• FLASH your member card before payment 💳

Malaysians like loyalty programs and loyal customers get more rewards! During this festive season, frequent to your favourite grocery store. Because, this is the most ideal time for you to redeem for rewards with the accumulated loyalty points. We listed down a few loyalty programs offered by several grocery stores/ department store in Malaysia. Frequently, you could get certain items with special discounted member price!

1. AEON BiG Member Card
2. Tesco Clubcard
3. AEON Member Card
4. Mydin Meriah Card
5. Parkson Card
6. Isetan Members Card

• NEVER go shopping alone 👫 👯‍♀️

Personally, I experienced many situation whereby “Buying 2 is cheaper than buying 1 or Buy 1 Free 1” promotion when I was looking for clothes. In many time, I ended up window shopping and buying nothing because I was shopping alone and nobody to share the cost of another same piece of item with me. Hence, I would suggest you always find your buddies or “Brader” to go shopping with you.

• Last minute RAYA shopping 🕛

If Hari Raya is just few days away and you haven’t picked up kuih raya, drinks or any ingredients to prepare your celebratory meals, KEEP CALM! The grocery stores owners will be more panic than you! They are not afford to keep the kuih raya, buah kurma until the next Raya. When they are panic, then we as a consumers can enjoy the discounts and offerings for last minutes shoppers. From our past experience, we learnt that grocery stores offer more markdown on the prices when the festive season is approaching! Check out the flyers below.

• Look Up, Look Down and Look Up! ➡️ ⬅️ ⬆️ ⬇️

The expensive and premium brands groceries are normally housed at eye level in order to keep them in the customer’s view. Meanwhile, the less expensive and store brands are usually placed lower or higher. Hence, remember to exercise your eyeballs and neck more during shopping.

• Pay with Credit Card 💳

“Cash Is King!” – this is no more the case. Paying cash for the groceries doesn’t create any extra value for the consumers. Meanwhile, smart consumers choose to settle the bill with credit card. Credit Card is not only giving you extra buying power, it earns you points and cashback! Do take note if there is any rewarding programme set up between the bank and your preferred grocery store. I show you an example here.

Previously, we explained the “Advantages of Having Credit Cards in Pocket“. You can click the underlined title for your reading pleasure.

• Shop Online 🌎

Do you notice that the shopping carts are actually bigger than required? Promoters are giving out free samples, especially snacks for your kid? Raya Songs are played repeatedly? Shop online if you have a tight Raya Budget. Without the temptations of sights, taste and hearing, most probably you would only purchase what’s on your shopping list.

• 01.06.18 📅

As announced by the 7th Prime Minister of Malaysia, the current 6% GST will become zero-rated from 01/06/18 onward! Since there are another 17 days to Raya, why don’t you buy later to save RM6 out of RM100? In fact, certain companies like Honda and Toyota had marked down their car prices for 6% since the announcement made on 16 May 2018.

Advantages of Having Credit Cards in Pocket

When the concept of credit card was first introduced to the Malaysian, there was a misconception whereby the owner of the credit card must be wealthy! It used to be a measurement tool for a personal wealth because only people with certain level of income are able to own it. Yet, that level was high at the beginning!

Source: GIPHY

 

This is no more the case now since we are now in 2018, an era which we promote cashless transaction in daily lives. Beside that, the minimum income level to apply for a credit card had been greatly marked down. Even a student without stable income could get a supplementary credit card from his/her parent(s). There are actually a lot of advantages if the credit card holder is able to control his/her credit spending.

Free/ Discounted Movie Ticket

There are a few bank in Malaysia rewarding their credit card holders with discounted movie ticket prize, popcorn or “Buy 1 Free 1” when the holders visit specified cinema. We list down a few for you here.

• Citibank Clear Card

You can enjoy a Friday movie together with your loved one at the price of 1 ticket, applied for both GSC and TGV.

• RHB Credit/Debit Card

MBO Movie Ticket sells at RM 8 Everyday except National Public Holidays*

• UOB Yolo Credit Card

RM 5 per movie ticket, 280 complimentary tickets per Offer Day.*

• Standard Chartered Just One Platinum Credit Card

Flat RM7 for 1 (One) Normal Adult ticket*

(*) Check its official website for more T&C.

• Free/ Discounted Parking Fee

  Sunway Putra Mall in KL offers free parking for the first 3 hours & free parking for HSBC credit cardholders when you spend any amount at any outlet. You need to validate the parking ticket at the information counter and at the autopay machine.

• Build Your Credit Score

A credit score plays an important role when you want to apply for a financial product from the bank including a personal loan, mortgage, car loan, or credit card. Banks, financial institutions, and even businesses use your credit score to evaluate the credibility of your financial health. It helps them understand the risks they might face if they decide to lend money to you. The higher your score is, the better it is and the higher the chance of getting your application approved. Essentially, it is an indicator of your financial health.

• Extra Discount/ Free Gift Upon Purchase

There are many retailers (restaurant, boutique, airline company, hotel & etc) collaborate with different banks in order to give more rewards to the consumers. Be alert and look for any such kind of notice board or always ask the cashier the availability of such credit card promotion before making payment. Besides that, you could login to the official website of respective bank to get more update for the updates you deserve!

Source: GIPHY

• MYR, SGD, Thai Baht, Canadian Dollar…

Instead of having to figure out the best days to change the currencies of your destination countries, you can save yourself a decent amount of time by using your credit card overseas. However, you need to differentiate between foreign transaction fee and dynamic currency conversion before spending in your destination countries.

When a transaction is made in a foreign currency, the transaction will be converted into ringgit using US dollar as the base currency on the date of the transaction received and processed by card issuers as well as payment networks (American Express, Visa, and MasterCard).

In short, if you pay in Ringgit when you are spending overseas, it is DCC. If you are paying in foreign currency, you will be charged with foreign transaction fee which is cheaper than the former.
