Lipa City – SM Lipa’s much awaited 3-day sale is about to happen on March 31, April 1 and April 2.  Here are some useful shopping tips to make your shopping experience more fun and enjoyable.

  1. Take note of the changes in schedule for the SM Advantage Card (SMAC) Sale.

In previous years, the SMAC sale is done on the first day of sale. Today it is now on Saturday, April 1 from 9:00AM to 12:00 noon. SM Prestige cardholders on the other hand are given the whole day of Friday to avail of the  additional 10% discount shopping.  The SMAC sale is a privilege sale given to all SM Advantage, Prestige and BDO Rewards card holders where additional 10% off will be given to the total shopping amount at The SM Store, Ace Hardware, Uniqlo, Crocs, Body Shop, Adidas and Surplus Shop. Queuing can be tough at this time, so it is best that you already know what to shop for or better yet, reserve your items the day before the sale.   Fitting of clothes and shoes, including finding the right shade of make-up takes time, so better do these things the day before the SMAC sale.  Just approach any store personnel so that they may reserve your items. All you have to do is check out in the counter the next day.

  1. Join in the raffle promos.

Remember that BIR tagline “May pera sa resibo”? At SM Lipa, your receipts can be used as raffle qualifiers where every 1000 pesos worth of single or accumulated purchase in any store or restaurant at SM Lipa will be equivalent to a raffle stub.  Who knows, you might be the next winner of one of two Suzuki Raider R150.

Another raffle will happen inside The SM Store. There will be 12 units of Samsung gadget package that is to be given away. The package includes Samsung Gear S3 and Samsung J3. To join, simply present your receipt with a minimum single purchase of 3000 pesos at the redemption booth located at the ground floor of The SM Store.
