Promo Tips 101: How to Increase your chances on winning.

We all want to win whether it's for ourselves or for our family. Here's some quick tips that worked for me and some of the people I know. Good luck~

1 The Acronym: 

Hindi mo kailangan ng straw para sumisip haha. Pag pagandahan ng sagot ang promo, try mong lagyan ng meaning ang bawat letra ng name ng isang kompanya. Madalas itong mag work promise ^_^

Example: DUREX (yes the condom haha)

I’m passionate about

[D]oing

[U]nusual

[R]omantic

s[EX]traordinary “ACTIVITIES” with my partner using Durex

This is actually the entry of the winner from DurexPh’s promo who won an iPad Mini!

2 The Mafia: 

Pangalawang beses ko na gagamitin ang term na to. Mafia is a group of people diba? This works best sa mga samples and raffles. Isali mo na lahat ng kamag anak pati close friends mo at for sure sa dami ng sinali mo hahakot ka ng sangka tutak na samples tulad ng panlaba, pang ahit, pangulangot… joke basta mga samples. Sa raffles swertihan pa rin pero mas malaki ang chances mo kung mas marami kang isinali. More entries, more chances of winnings. XD

3 The Photo-bomber: 

Given factor na yung syempre maganda dapat yung picture na gagamitin o gagawin mong entry pero para maging mas appealing sa judges yung entry mo, lagyan mo ng photo bomber na logo ng company nila. Oo sipsip kung sipsip ang labanan minsan : )

Both entries won (samsung tab3 lite and 5k sodexo GC) dahil sa caption, sa picture at in my opinion dahil sa photo bomber nga :)

 

4 The Hardcore:

Pag may tyaga may nilaga. Minsan nagiging lechon pa yan pag sobrang effort talaga ang binigay mo sa entry mo. Ok lang na gandahan mo at mag invest ka ng konting time sa entry mo lalo na kung worth it naman ang prize. Wag yung basta me mapasa lang.

Example: Some of the Big time winners that I know $_$ Who'm proved, that hard work pays-off. I also hope they don't mind me posting their winning entries here :D

5 The____ wala na akong ibang “The something” na maisip. 

Pero yung last tip ko syempre Sali lang ng Sali dapat. Kahit ano pa yang prize na pinamimigay kung libre mo naman makukuha eh bakit hindi diba? Para sa lahat ng sumasali sa promo Good luck sana marami pa tayong blessings na makuha para sa ating sarili o para man sa pamilya.

Try nyo wala namang mawawala and if ever maging effective. Please leave a comment about your experience.

GOOD LUCK!

Flyff All Stars Adroid App Game

I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one who felt blue when Flyff (PC version) ended and if you also did by all means continue reading on.

It has a unique game feature and the BGM definitely gives you that Flyff feel on it. The graphics is also good All 3d characters and effects.

I settled with this 3 beauties to start with my game. Luckily I got Alice to boost the other two heroes.

Although i secretly wish i got these other two together with alice. ^_^

Here they are now.

 I'm quite happy with my current journey on this game since i got the chance to get these cool characters speficically Silphia and Luana (All long range character)

I love Long range characters. It's pretty awesome especially in boosting your other character or farming.

Hope to add you in game in soon. ^_^ Add me "Brianna111213" It's my daughter's name.
(It was a great game until the updates stopped.)

Are you a Promonatic?

t's been a year now since I got hooked on joining online promos and contest. I've won a couple of freebies, GC, Cash, Gadgets and etc from doing so.

It's taken my addiction from playing online computer games into something I can get a chance to have a little bit of extra for my family. I have my lovely wife who introduced me to this promo world to thank and I can say i have no regrets spamming my Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram with all the promo and contest from different companies and fanpages. 

Here's a quick meme of the different types of people I've notice that also likes joining Online promos LOL

To those who wants to join go ahead and try your luck.^_^ You won't lose anything anyway.

The Tshirt Project Spoof Shirts

I've seen this brand a couple of times before but had only, recently gotten the chance to take a closer look on what they offer.

It was a fun and an amazing experience to be able to browse the different designs they have. The wittiness of the statement shirts and spoof brands is just pure epic.

Store Locations

I couldn't stop myself from buying these two awesome shirts for me and my wife. I normally cringe at the idea of couple shirts but these are too fun to pass.

The shirts cost 519.00 each when i had bought those at an online store that's affiliated with "The Tshirt Project" They usually have a random sale going unfortunately, I bought mine before the sale LOL.

Summary? The design itself made it the right decision for me and it's definitely a plus factor that the cloth feels nice. Unlike some of the shirts that I've check which for me are a tad too thin to wear. 

Got my Dad the "The Incredible Hunk" Shirt, My Father in law the "Pray Boy" Shirt and the Spoof Shirt of "The Avengers Shield"  ^_^ can't wait for them to be delivered too.

Filipino Food with Funny Names

Oh so yummy through taste, smell and sight but wait till you hear the names of these awesome Pinoy food ^_^

 The fact that you literally pick it to eat it ^_^

Pan de Regla

The way the bread looks like a used napkin haha.

PUTOK

 You'll probably smell it first before eating it if it's your first time :D

INANGIT (Sound like Anghit)

 Despite the name this actually makes your order of Ginataang Halo-halo special

Tampal P*ke Fish

Haven't really had the chance to try this but the name will definitely make you guess.

Is it worth it to get Loyalty Cards?

One day I’ve checked my wallet and thought it had a lot of stuffs inside. Unfortunately it’s not money that’s making it bulky hahaha! ^_^ I just recently noticed that I have a lot of Cards from different restaurants and places (I know other people who have more but yeah…)

Out of these cards, here’s a quick review and rates of how useful they are base on, affordability and how it can help you save.

First one on the list is

7-Eleven’s Every Day Rewards Card

Price: 10 pesos

Benefits: Every 50 pesos purchase (single or accumulated) entitles you to 1 point. You can use these points to redeem certain reward items depending on what’s available. There are branches that host a WiFi network and you can get access for 15 minutes at a cost of 1 point too.

Score: 3.5/5 I go to 7-Eleven almost everyday to buy drinks or snacks when at work so this one tends to get used a lot by me. It’s a bit slow to accumulate points though. Hoping they can give more points per 50 pesos.

Next is

Shakey’s Pizzanatic Super Card

Price: 399 pesos (may differ depending on the promotion)

Benefits: Earn 1 point Every 100 pesos worth of purchase. 1 point = 1 pesos.

10% discount for dine in or take out.

Buy 1 get 1 if you have a delivery for a large or party size pizza with 1.5 liter of Coke

Birthday Pizza, You get 1 free pepperoni pizza on your birthday. You can claim it 3 days on or before your birthday.

Score: 3.5/5 I love everything about it except for the point system also. The price of the card can really make you get a second thought. If it weren’t for the free banana split we got when we bought it and with the 10% immediate discount we got after spending roughly 1,500 pesos I would not have bought it. All in all it looks like we got the card for only 99 pesos. 150+ discount on our food and I believe the banana split cost somewhere around 150 pesos also. I just wish they would give us a choice about the birthday pizza since not everyone likes pepperoni.

Third one is

Mercury Drug Suki Card

Price: Get it for free if you spend 1000 worth of items.

Benefits: Earn Suki points which you can use to redeem certain stuffs. Every accumulated purchase worth Php200.00 is equivalent to 1 point.

Score: 4/5

Who doesn’t buy medicine or vitamins? I’d say this card is worth it especially since you can get it for free. I’d say make the most out of all the things you buy with this card +

Second to the last is

SM Advantage Card

Price: 150 pesos

Benefits: Too many to mention but the ones I like are;

Discounts for stores affiliated with SM.

 Earning SMAC points that can be used to redeem a lot of rewards!

Score: 4/5

Awesome promos like a raffle for car or even a fully furnished condo! It’s doesn’t hurt to try. One of the cards I can definitely say that’s worth getting. Every savings count, I’m hoping they can do something like spend a certain amount and get this card for free LOL but aside for that I love this card.

Last but not the least

Jolibee’s Happy Plus Card

Price: 150 pesos

Benefits: Earn happy plus points, Every P 50 food purchase earns you one happy point. One happy point is equal to 1 peso.

Monthly Cash Winner, Every time you load up you earn raffle entries and can earn up to 100 thousand pesos. I was surprised when I suddenly saw my name on the list before for one of the lucky card holder who won 1000.00 pesos. Hey better than nothing right? ^_^

Get certain freebies like sundaes or fries with certain minimum purchases.

Can be used to Jollibee obviously hehe, Greenwhich, Red Ribbon and Chowking and as an added bonus earn 1 happy plus point for every 100 pesos spent if you gas up at Caltex.

Score: 5/5

The most useful card out there. When I bought mine for 150 pesos it included a 50 pesos discount for any purchase at jolibee, 50 pesos off for chowking, 50 pesos for greenwhich and 100 pesos off for red ribbon. If you think about it you get more of what you paid for. Just like what Kris and Bimby said in their commercial “SULIT”

I’m not sure what other loyalty cards out there is worth getting. Do leave a comment if you have any suggestions ^_^Y

Lazada's Bad Customer Service

It was way back in 2012 when we first had a bad experience with the said Online Shop. We placed an order for a baby bag for our upcoming baby and to our dismay we never got the item and never had any updates about it. Good thing we chose cash on delivery as an option that time.

Everyone deserves a second chance thus, we gave LAZADA another shot. Only to be disappointed once again.  Me and my wife placed an order for 1 vacuum for our house, 1 vacuum for our car, 1 set of blender and 2 packs of Pamper’s active dry (82+8).

We got weird notifications saying that we made a request to postpone our orders which we didn’t! Then we got another email and text notification that the orders are on its way.  To our  surprise another notification was received that we requested to delay the orders again! The notifications happened 6 times which was really annoying.

(First Package)

The order was place on September 27 2014 and we got the Diapers and the Max health Cyclone Vacuum Cleaner on September 30 2014. We already had a hunch and has been wondering why the car vacuum and the blender still hasn’t arrived but we waited patiently. It’s already October  5, 2014 and still no blender and car vacuum…

LIARS?

I can’t remember how many times I’ve called the representatives of lazada. I can’t say anything good with the previous representatives I’ve talked with. Each time I call I get a different information. First call said the order is already in the warehouse ready to be shipped. Second call the agent advised me that the order is already at 2go courier and even gave me a tracking number! I searched the tracking number at 2go’s website and nothing showed up. Third call I was already mad as the third representative informed me that the item is still on their warehouse. They made an escalation and said I would get an update on Monday. I hope they do give me a follow up about it…

Things just went from worse to worst. The vacuum cleaner we bought is defective! We tested it when we got it and it was working fine. Now that it’s Sunday “The Perfect day to clean the house” it didn’t even last for half an hour and it’s already not working! I already went to LBC to get the thing replaced and I’m hoping they would replace it or else I might have a heart attack! All items even the ones that are a still being shipped are already paid. I don’t pick money out of trees. Like all other people I work for it and definitely want value out of these products.

All in all it was a nightmare making transactions with this Online Shop. It’s sad because I was just getting used on making online transactions and never had this experience with other online shops.

I know it looks like I’m ranting but I just want to express my opinion and experience.

 Lazada keeps on sending me emails and surveys about my experience. Well now they have it here.
