The 10-week “2026 Macau Spending Rewards” campaign, which was launched on April 10, achieved “significant” results in just the first two weeks since it started, according to Economic and Technological Development Bureau (DSEDT) Director Yau Yun Wah, who also noted that participation was “markedly higher than last year”.
Yau made the remarks during a speech at The Londoner Macao during the launch of Sands China’s Community Revitalisation Programme 2.0 for Rua das Estalagens.
Yau pointed out that in the first two weeks of the ongoing campaign: “the number of transactions that earned chances to draw coupons reached 1.7 million. On a daily average basis, this was nearly double that of the same period of last year’s campaign. Eight payment institutions issued a total of more than 3.18 million electronic coupons, while the amount from the electronic coupons redeemed in the first two weeks exceeded 61 million patacas”.
Yau added that the overall redemption rate was “about 92 percent”, which is an increase of about 6.6 percentage points compared with the same period last year’s campaign.
“More than 18 million patacas in instant discounts for card-based consumption have also been redeemed. The first two weeks of the campaign have already effectively promoted community spending of approximately 290 million patacas”, he added.
