Of all Filipino characteristics, there is one that many aspire to develop – being matipid or thrifty. Many would argue that thriftiness is a positive trait. After all, this means that you only spend money, eat food, or consume any product in moderation.

Would you consider yourself as someone who is matipid? 

If you didn’t think of yourself as such before the pandemic, you might now be thinking otherwise. While Filipinos have long been known for their tipid ways, the events of the past year have encouraged more of us to become even wiser with our spending. 

As the pandemic continues to affect our economy, being matipid has become more than just a word used to describe people. It has become an action many frequently exercise. 

Part of being matipid is being prepared. To only use your resources for what is truly essential means you have to know not only what you need – not what you want – but also what discounts or promos can help you get it without spending too much. 

This is where the MVP Rewards can help you. If you’re not aware yet, the MVP (Most Valuable Partner) Rewards is a membership rewards program exclusive to customers of the following service providers: PLDT, Smart, TNT, Cignal, De Los Santos Medical Center, Makati Medical Center, Easy Trip, and Maynilad. 

MVP Rewards members can earn a variety of rewards including points, rebates, e-coupons, and raffle entries from these different service providers they have accounts with.

Aside from these exclusive perks, the MVP Rewards membership can also help you save money when traveling.

Not all of us live near a grocery store or a mall where we can immediately walk to buy our essential needs. There are those who need to travel for a bit to accomplish their important errands.

So if you need to get some groceries for the family, buy some medicine, or pay your bills over the counter, you need to make sure that your car is all fueled up. Did you know that you can get value for money when you gas up at Caltex?  

Just by showing your MVP Rewards card, you can get an outright discount of P2 per liter for gasoline – Caltex Platinum with Techron and Caltex Silver with Techron –  and P1 per liter for diesel – Caltex Diesel with Techron D – when you fuel up at select Caltex stations nationwide. This is on top of the basic cashback you get as an MVP Rewards member, which is P1 for every 5 liters.

All you need to do is present your physical MVP Rewards card, which you can also connect to your MVP Rewards app.

If you’re already an MVP Rewards member, you can get your physical card at PLDT and Smart physical stores nationwide. 

With the MVP Rewards card and Caltex, essential travel is made more sulit. – Rappler.com
