The Economic and Technological Development Bureau (DSEDT) announced in a statement yesterday that it has brought forward the start of the “Macau Consumer Grand Prix”, a large-scale consumer sales promotion campaign, which originally was slated for early October, to the end of this month, with a new budget of up to 110 million patacas.
During the 13-week campaign from next Monday, September 30, to December 29, all authenticated e-wallet users will have three times per week the chance to win e-vouchers for every single purchase of at least 50 patacas between Monday and Friday, whether at online or offline merchants, the bureau said, adding that each authenticated e-wallet account is entitled to up to three lucky draws per week, and each week’s three lucky draws will come to an end at midnight every Saturday.
As part of the National Day celebrations, an additional 10 million patacas will be added to the first week of the campaign, bringing the overall event budget to approximately 110 million patacas, the bureau noted, adding that the campaign will cover the whole of the Macau Special Administrative Region (MSAR), with the aim of engaging more residents and businesses, further supporting community consumption and boosting small- and medium-sized enterprises’ (SMEs) confidence to help them sustain their operations.
According to the statement, the e-vouchers received must be used within the forthcoming weekends and the single purchases must be at least three times the face value of the vouchers. All unused offers will be cleared in the early hours of every Monday morning and will be deemed to have expired after that time.
Every Saturday and Sunday during the campaign period, consumers who make a single purchase of 50 patacas at designated business operators will be automatically entered into the Grand Lucky Draw at the end of the campaign, with total prizes and awards valued at more than 1.68 million patacas.
The bureau stated that “some business operators expressed their support and expectations for the large-scale citywide consumer sales promotion campaign, believing that the government’s launching of the campaign can attract residents to remain in Macau and spend money during weekends”.
