Coupons to run for 3 days for MSAR establishment anniversary
The United Association of Food and Beverage Merchants of Macau, in collaboration with the Economic and Technological Development Bureau (DSEDT) and the Macau Industry and Commerce Association, will launch a scheme providing 30-percent-discount coupons for restaurant patrons who use any of the four mobile payment apps covered by the scheme.
The scheme will run for three days between December 20 and 22, in celebration of the 26th anniversary of Macau’s return to the motherland.
The Macau Special Administrative Region (MSAR) was established on December 20, 1999.
The organisers announced the scheme during a press conference yesterday, which was held at the headquarters of the Macau Chamber of Commerce (ACM), colloquially known in Cantonese as “Chung Chung”, in Zape.
According to the press conference, the scheme will cover over 500 restaurants and eateries across the city.
Restaurant patrons who use any of the scheme’s four mobile payment apps can benefit from the discounts, namely MPay as well as the payment apps for Bank of China (BOC) Macau Branch, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Macau), and Tai Fung Bank.
On each of the three days between December 20 and 22, according to yesterday’s press conference, smartphone users can obtain three 30-percent-discount coupons from each of the four mobile payment apps. If a smartphone user uses all four apps, according to the press conference, he or she can obtain 12 coupons on each of the three days.
The beneficiaries can only use one coupon for every transaction.
