Your Ultimate Holiday Spending Survival Guide with Maya

Friday, December 19


The holiday season is in full swing: crowded malls, jam-packed schedules, and nonstop group chat plans. Before the season sweeps you off your feet and your wallet, take a moment to get your finances in check. Think of this as your holiday financial tune-up, ensuring every peso works smarter and every purchase feels guilt-free.

With Maya, navigating the season’s spending frenzy doesn’t have to be stressful. Here’s how to make the most of your money this Christmas and New Year.

Lock in Your Budget and Your Goals

If your holiday budget is still a mental note, it’s time to make it official. Maya’s Personal Goals feature lets you set up to five savings targets perfect for gifts, Noche Buena, travel, or whatever your holiday plans include.
  • Earn 4% interest per year right away, and up to 8% p.a. for deposits up to ₱100,000.
  • No lock-ins or penalties your savings remain flexible.

Now your bonus or year-end pay can actually work for you instead of disappearing after the first shopping spree.

Treat Yourself Smart

Dining out, gifts, reunions—they all add up. With Maya, your spending pays you back:
  • Maya Credit Card: Enjoy 20% cashback on dining, up to ₱1,000/month for a minimum spend of ₱2,500.
  • Maya Black Credit Card: Earn Maya Miles on every purchase.
  • Landers Cashback Everywhere Credit Card: Collect Landers points while checking off your gift list.

This way, your holiday treats don’t just satisfy your cravings, they reward your wallet too.

Tap to Pay: Your Holiday Superpower

Skip the QR scanning, OTP codes, and fumbling for cash. With Maya on Google Pay, you can pay with just a tap wherever contactless payments are accepted—coffee runs, groceries, airport shopping, bazaars—you name it.
  • Every tap with your Maya Credit Card automatically earns instant Maya Miles or Cashback.
  • Rewards stack up while you breeze through the holiday rush.

No stress, no lines, just a faster, smarter way to pay.
