Google Pay (GPay) Update 2021

A little late to the scene but I realized that I've yet to write about GPay which I use on a daily basis ever since transiting to an OnePlus phone that I bought in last year's 9/9 sale. 

This might be more oriented to Android phone user rather than iPhone but if you're using iPhone, you can still reap some benefits from it (Apple is smart to not allow you to change the default payment). 

Something sad is that GPay is getting less aggressive in attaining new customer-base, where we see Google giving less rewards (scratch cards). I will be going through the current rewards available and how best you can attain them. The rewards are instant, if you're using Android and not using Gpay.. you're missing out free cents.

Earn $2.5 cashback on your next movie at Shaw (ends 24th Jan 2021)

Purchase a movie ticket on Gpay App from Shaw and get guaranteed SGD2.5 back; once a week.

Earn $2.5 cashback on your next movie at Gold Village (ends 24th Jan 2021)

Purchase a movie ticket on Gpay App from Golden Village and get guaranteed SGD2.5 back; once a week. It was actually a whooping SGD5 reward last year... thankfully I reaped the reward once.

Order food on Google Pay and get $2.5 cashback (ends 24th Jan 2021)

Spend a minimum of SGD10 on any food place in GPay App, and get a guaranteed SGD2.5 back; once a week. This is a really good reward as I usually go for cheap lunch at work but this helps me get a yummy lunch once a week (especially last year where it was giving SGD5 cashback).

Tap or scan to pay in stores and earn up to $10 twice a week (ends 24th Jan 2021)

Spend a minimum SGD3 by GPay (paywave), online Google Pay, or QR scan (this works for Apple users) and you will get a scratch card; twice a week. It used to be 3~4 times a week or actually up to 7x cause they split the scan and tap components.

Send money to friends & earn up to $10 twice a week (ends 24th Jan 2021)

Send your friend a minimum of SGD10 on the GPay (via paynow/PayLah) to earn a scratch card; twice a week. There's a major change to this component, previous rewards you can send to same group of people every week but now you can only send to a different person even if it's the next week. TLDR; instead of the same 2 person every week you send for the scratch cards, you need a whole bigger group of different people in a month.

Refer a friend and get $3 cashback (ends 24th Jan 2021)

Earn $3 for yourself and your friend if they register through your code and once they done their first SGD10 transaction on Gpay; max 80 referrals. Shamelessly, you can use my referral if you're not on Gpay yet, we can be send money buddies. - Code (ch4yj0v) or click here.

Save $2 with HSBC and Golden Village (ends 31st Jul 2021)

Get $2 back for paying for your movie ticket at GV in GPay App using HSBC credit/debit cards; only off 2D standard seats.

Save up to $3 with DBS and Golden Village (ends 31st Dec 2021)

Get cashback when you use DBS/POSB card to buy ticket on GPay App; SGD3 off Gold Class, SGD2 off Gold Class Express, SGD1 off other movie tickets

Free Upsized Meals from Burger King on Google Pay (ends 31st Mar 2021)

Gets free upsize to any Burger King Ultimate Selection meal when you purchase Burger King on GPay App.

Hopefully this will help people new with GPay App! I will be back to update if there's new changes (probably from 25th Jan 2021). I really love how they integrate all the payment, food and movie into one platform, so far I've earned SGD70++ across 4 months.. what about you if you've been a GPay user?

Cheers~
