During the reveal of Malaysia’s latest stimulus package on Monday – the PEMULIH stimulus package – Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said that the government is once again reviving the Shop Malaysia Online campaign for a second round.

The Shop Malaysia Online campaign – which was first announced under the PENJANA economic package back in 2020 and further expanded in Budget 2021 – is aimed at supporting local entrepreneurs in the digitalisation of their businesses. During its initial run, the campaign was estimated to have helped more than 200,000 merchants increase their sales through various e-commerce platforms, with the total transaction value coming up to about RM1.8 billion. For instance, Shopee released data to say that it recorded over RM200 million in sales just via the initiative.

This second round of Shop Malaysia Online campaign will see the participation of several e-commerce and online platforms as well, including Boost, Grab, and Lazada – just to name a few. Here are the perks that some participating entities have to offer to their consumers.

Boost

Period: 1 July – 31 December 2021

Boost will offer consumers up to 80% instant cashback and discounts from selected merchants, ranging from groceries and F&B, to health and beauty products. Major brands include Watsons Pharmacy, JD Sports, and HappyFresh.

Most deals will need you to meet a minimum spend requirement, and there is also a cap on the quantity of cashback and discounts provided. Additionally, each eligible customer is allowed to earn a maximum of only two cashback rewards under this campaign.

On top of the discount, you can also get up to RM10 cashback when you spend a minimum of RM30 in-store with selected partners. These include Lotus’s, Mr DIY, Mydin, Guardian Pharmacy, and Caring Pharmacy. Do note that all these cashback rewards earned will have a validity period, so be sure to check the T&C to make sure you don’t miss the deadlines.

Aside from that, you can also earn 4x Boost Coins when you spend at least RM50 in a single transaction via Boost with any Boost online partner. The 4x Coins provided will be based on the Boost Coins that you receive through the Shake Rewards, and will be credited immediately to your account.

These bonus Coins, too, have an expiry date; they are set to expire a month after a specific transaction period. For instance, 4x Coins earned during the transaction period of 1 July to 31 July 2021 will expire on 31 August 2021 – so again, make sure to check the T&C. Any coins that are not utilised will be automatically forfeited.

On top of the above individual benefits, you may also tap into few Boosted Deals that give you up to 80% cashback and extra Boost Coins. Depending on the deal and partner that you purchase from, you can get up to RM10 cashback and 8x Boost Coins. Merchant partners participating in these Boosted Deals include F&N Life, Scan Dao Bao, and Watsons.

Once you’ve obtained it, you can then use the collected cashback to spend on your preferred Fave eCards and Deals.

Do note that the Shop Malaysia cashback will only be valid for 30 days after you’ve claimed it, so make sure to utilise it before it expires! Also, the cashback will be granted instantly for successful FavePay payments and eCard purchases. Meanwhile, it will take three days for the cashback to be credited to you if you redeem it with FaveDeal purchases.

Aside from the 8% Shop Malaysia cashback for all Fave users, new users can also get an exclusive additional 8% cashback. This special cashback is valid for purchases from all categories (via FavePay, FaveDeals, and Fave eCards), with a minimum spend of RM5. It is capped at RM60, and is also valid only for 30 days upon being credited.
