Make Summer’s Last Hurrah More Rewarding with SMAC’s New Lifestyle Partners

As we navigate the rising inflation, some luxuries and extras may need to take a step back in favor of essentials. While we do our best to save, for some of us there will still be important trips that need taking and necessary purchases that need to be made. 

When it’s time to book those unavoidable and essential trips or buy what you need from the store, you can rely on your SMAC because your points can actually grow in the most unexpected places—long before you even step foot inside a department store. 

Whether you’re booking a flight and accommodation for an important, can’t-miss trip or filling up your gas tank for mandatory errands, your everyday runs are now secret windows to earning more rewards. 

Earning points on and off the road 

For those who absolutely need to travel during this time, your trip expenses can now work harder for you. Heading out on a provincial road trip? Every P300 spent at Shell earns you 1 SMAC point, so your fuel goes further with rewards.

Heading further across the islands or abroad? Your airfare can turn into shopping credits with PAL Mabuhay Miles, members can convert 500 Mabuhay Miles into 200 SMAC points. Similarly, AirAsia Rewards offers a conversion of 500 AirAsia Rewards points to 125 SMAC points!

Booking your accommodations is also more rewarding this year, with SMAC’s recent partnership with Trip.com, you can enjoy 1 SMAC point with every P250 spent (via the SMAC website). If you need to book a local stay, try SM Hotels for discounted rates and savings—you can also get double the SMAC points for every P200 spent on direct hotel bookings until May 31, 2026.

Meanwhile, booking at Okada Manila also earns you SMAC Points until July 31, 2026. 

Turning Points into pesos 

Why shouldn’t you miss out on earning and racking up your SMAC Points? It’s because they’re as good as cash.  

The math is simple: 1 SMAC Point = 1 Peso. While you can earn points at various partners like Shell, remember that you can "Pay with Points" at almost all SM Retail partners, including select Alfamart branches. 

And when it's time to stock up on summer essentials or groceries, you can use your points at the SM Store and SM Markets (SM Supermarket, SM Hypermarket, and Savemore).

Not a member yet? You can get a SMAC for only P200 for a 5-year membership. Once you have your card, be sure to link it to the SMAC&SHOP app so you can maximize every purchase. 

Download and sign up on the SMAC&SHOP app to earn and pay with points using your SMAC QR, check your points balance, enjoy app-exclusive offers, and shop online.  

SMAC is the leading retail loyalty program in the Philippines with over 4,000 partner stores nationwide. To know more about where you can use your SMAC, visit https://digiweb.smac.ph/partners
