Celebrating Valentine’s Day with friends? Here’s what you can do

This post was brought to you by Grab.

There’s a common misconception that Valentine’s Day only celebrates romance. The truth is that you can also spend the day celebrating love of all kinds, and that includes your close friends. If you’re unsure of how to celebrate though, here’s how you can guarantee a good time with GrabPay and PayLater:

Classic Valentine’s gift

In quintessential fashion, start off the day by giving your best friend some flowers from 50Gram, one of the top online florists in Malaysia. If you’re struggling to choose a bouquet, you could go for the popular “Gradience Rosy’‘, which was specifically made for Valentine’s Day and is priced at RM240. You can also pay an extra RM39.90 and add a surprise call with live singing.

Celebrate over everyone’s favourite topic – FOOD

Once day starts turning to night, you can dine out with your friends. Nowadays, more and more restaurants are adding support for GrabPay, which means you can make contactless payments as well as get up to 1.8% back in savings. If you prefer to have dinner at home, you can order meals on GrabFood or have a fun cooking night by ordering ingredients on GrabMart instead. Either way, food in any form is the ultimate bonding experience and Grab can help you make it as easy as possible. 

Catch that newest movie they’ve been wanting to watch

After dinner, you can head out to the mall and watch a movie. Going to the movie theatre is classic for a reason; it’s simple, easy and can kick off some interesting discussions about the film. This Valentine’s season, take a trip to your local GSC or TGV and you can watch films like Moonfall, Sing 2, or Spiderman: No Way Home. These theatres also accept GrabPay, so you’ll be able to earn GrabRewards which can be used to unlock discounts and promotions on future purchases.

But what if you don’t live near your loved ones? The next best thing is to send them a gift to show how much you appreciate them and Grab can help you do just that.

The revamped GrabGifts tile and 100+ Cities Delivery (BETA) Feature

If you don’t know, GrabGifts are customisable eVouchers that you can send to your loved ones in any country that Grab is in. GrabGifts vouchers can range from RM10 to RM80, and you can select vouchers for Ride, Food, Mart and Express. For Valentine’s Day, Grab even launched a special “I Heart You” card design on GrabGifts. 

In this new normal, it’s unfortunately common to have loved ones across the border. Lucky for us, Grab recently introduced the 100+ Cities Delivery (BETA) feature on GrabGifts. This gives users the ability to order and send food and physical gifts from GrabFood and GrabMart merchant-partners that are available in the recipient’s city within an hour. This includes cities from across Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. 

Whether or not you and your friends are in the same country, that shouldn’t stop you from telling them about how much you love and appreciate them.

And fret not, all Grab transactions are secure and protected with Grab’s multi-layered safety features, which includes a two-factor authentication (2FA) with Grab PIN and biometrics.
