PLDT Home Rewards is the loyalty program of this telco.
We just received a notification from PLDT that some of our earned crystals will expire at month-end. Sayang naman kung ma-expire lang, kaya dali-dali we redeemed 260 crystals in exchange for SMAC points 100 + 30.
1 SMAC point = P1 which you can use to pay for items in The SM Store and companies under the SM Group like Ace Hardware, SM Savemore, Baby & Company, etc.
The Rewards conversion right now is 260 crystals = SMAC 100 points + bonus of 30 points. Normally, conversion is 260 crystals = 100 smac points.
*You can also convert your crystals in Grab credits and a bunch of other options.
How can you earn PLDT Crystals?
Every time we pay our monthly bill on time and in full, we get 27 crystals.
Then we also get crystals tagged as “PLDT Home Rewards”, 5 crystals.
So in a month, we get 32 crystals.
*The number of crystals awarded will depend on your plan.
- Our PLDT Home Fiber subscription is Plan P1,699.
- My Aunt whose PLDT Home Fiber subscription is P2,150 monthly, she gets 45 + 5 crystal per month.
