If you're running low on funds before payday, we gotchu :')
We've all been there: that last week before gaji comes in, where you're doing mental maths at the checkout, wondering if you can survive for the next few days.
But guess what? You don't have to suffer or sacrifice your daily essentials just to get by.
In collaboration with ShopeePay, we bring you some clever ways to stretch your ringgit, thanks to SPayLater and the new ShopeePay app:
1. Get RM15 off or earn 3% cashback when you shop or refuel
Need to top up your pantry or your petrol tank? If you're a new SPayLater user, you can get RM15 off instantly when you pay at participating stores. SPayLater is accepted at most of Malaysia's favourite spots, from grocery chains to petrol stations.
The best part? SPayLater lets you pay next month with 0 fees!
Even if you've used SPayLater before, there's something for you too! Enjoy 3% coins cashback with no minimum spend every time you use SPayLater at these outlets:
Groceries and home essentials
MR DIY | Lotus's | Giant & Giant Mini | Mydin | AEON BiG | NSK | Heromart | Cold Storage | Econsave
Petrol stations
Petron | BHP | Caltex
That's RM3 back for every RM100 spent, that's your nasi lemak breakfast right there! You know what they say, "sikit-sikit, lama-lama jadi bukit" — those savings really add up.
Find the full list of participating outlets here.
2. Score shocking 1 sen vouchers before they're gone
Wanna treat yourself? Don't miss out on 1 sen vouchers that give you up to 50% off at crowd favourites like Tealive, KFC, Family Mart, TGV Cinemas, and more!
Fair warning though, these vouchers sell out fast and change regularly, so your best bet is to check in often and snap up the ones you want before they're all gone!

3. Use ShopeePay in-store and you could win RM888!
If you haven't downloaded the new ShopeePay app yet, don't miss out! From now till 12 August 2025, you could win up to RM888 just by spending RM5 or more in-store using the app.
Here's how:
- Make 10 in-store transactions to enter the RM888 grand prize draw*
- Or, just make one transaction to get into the weekly RM88.80 draw (40 winners total!)*
Plus, you'll enjoy instant cashback of up to RM20 when you scan and pay in-store. Not bad for a quick grocery run, right?
Install the ShopeePay app on Google Play or the App Store.
*Valid for ShopeePay and SPayLater payments on the new app only.
For customers wondering where SPayLater is accepted, it's easy! Just look for the DuitNow QR code at the checkout counter, and you're set.
As long as you spot a DuitNow QR code, you can open the ShopeePay app, click on 'Scan & Pay', and select SPayLater as your payment method.
While SPayLater is a convenient way to stretch your ringgit, ShopeePay wants to remind customers it's all about smart spending too. With the tagline 'Fikir Sekarang, Bayar Kemudian' (think now, pay later), SPayLater wants to help Malaysians build healthier money habits and use Buy Now Pay Later options responsibly.
