With the lingering spirit of Christmas and the arrival of New Year’s Day, the cold winter can’t dampen people’s shopping enthusiasm, nor can bulky coats stop them from going out. Treat yourself well and prepare early-year surprises for your loved ones. At this crucial time, China UnionPay is launching its major “China UnionPay: It’s Great to Have You This Season” New Year promotion series. From now until February 28, 2015, every Saturday, consumers who use a China UnionPay card (card numbers starting with 62) to make purchases at participating locations—whether for dining, entertainment, travel, or shopping—will enjoy unexpected discounts.
Year-End Dining Deals That Add Up
For every purchase of 100 yuan or more, earn 20% of the transaction amount back as China UnionPay points (1 point = 1 yuan)! China UnionPay cardholders can earn up to 100 points per transaction when dining at designated restaurants, and these points can be used at 35 online merchants including JD.com, Yihaodian, Newegg, and Gewara. Coffee lovers can also enjoy a complimentary upgrade of two sizes when purchasing any handcrafted beverage at Pacific Coffee outlets—now your medium becomes a large with ease.
Smart Shopping Strategies
Smart and affordable shopping for the New Year. From December 1, 2014, to February 28, 2015, consumers can get an eco-friendly shopping bag for every purchase of 188 yuan or more at 390 Walmart stores across 160 cities nationwide, as well as at 10 Sam’s Club locations. On Saturdays and Sundays, there’s an extra offer: spend 288 yuan or more to receive a 20-yuan shopping card.
