They say the best things in life are free. But not everything is free, right? You can get closer though, with ZAP, a rewards card that gives you up to 20% cashback points for every purchase you make at a partner merchant.

You don't even need a card to earn your rewards with ZAP because all you have to do is enter your registered mobile number at a ZAP terminal inside the merchant store. And registration couldn't have been made easier and simpler. Just go to ZAP's website www.zap.com.ph and sign up for an account. Then, download the free mobile app so you can have a list of accredited establishments right at your fingertips. Easy, no?

The ZAPtag you can stick on your phone and ZAP terminal

How does it work? Simple. When you buy or eat or use the services of a ZAP partner merchant and enter your mobile at the ZAP terminal you get the cashback reward for the amount you spent. Say, for example, you spent PHP 1,000 at Burgoo, which gives 5% cashback points, you earn 50 points or PHP 50 back. You can accumulate points or cash and use it to pay for your next purchase at a partner store.

There are over 450 establishments where you can use ZAP. These include Converse, Happy Lemon, Jipan, Red Mango, Kichitora, Banana Leaf, Beyond the Box, Shang Cineplex, Sugarhouse, Pepper Lunch, and Elorde Boxing Gym to name a few.

Want to watch a movie? Just enter the promo code GHCINEMA when you dowload the app from the Play Store or the App Store and get 50% cashback at the Greenhills Cinema. Kaching, kaching!

Thanks to Blogapalooza 2014 I discovered ZAP and was able to register at their booth. Now, I can start earning points and use it to pay for my next massage session.
