These reward points can be accumulated and redeemed through the West Mall Rewards app for mall vouchers valued up to $50, free parking, or even as donation credits to Community Chest, a social service organisation supporting seniors and families in need.

For even more goodies, spend $208 across a maximum of 3 same-day receipts to claim an additional 3-piece Prosperity Glass Container. Each container features auspicious “Heng Ong Huat” greetings, making it an ideal choice for CNY – they’re perfect for storing festive treats or as a stylish addition to your home.

CNY activities from claw machines to crystal workshops


Prosperity Fair


Get your family down to immerse in the festive buzz at the Prosperity Fair, happening from now till 26th January. You’ll be able to find everything you need from snacks to cool CNY decorations to get your household ready for the prosperous season.

Check out vendors like Gin Thye and Ji Xiang for traditional snacks, or spruce up your home with auspicious decor from boutique stalls.

For gifting, explore JYY Hampers, which offers beautifully packaged hampers perfect for friends and family. The fair’s warm and bustling atmosphere is sure to spark that CNY vibe as you tick items off your festive checklist.

In a game that requires both luck and skill, see if you’ve got what it takes to win big at the Fun Claw Festive Pop-Up.

This exciting pop-up features claw machines stocked with adorable plushies. Keep your eyes peeled for trendy designs like Crybaby and Labubu, sure to bag you lots of compliments if you manage to snag them. It’s a fun activity for shoppers of all ages, and a great way to bond with your family and friends.

While you can’t find an actual wishing well in a mall, West Mall has the next best thing, a digital one. To use this wishing well, all you have to do is tap the coin on the screen and it’ll plop right into the water. Just like that, a fortune will appear on the screen for you.

Buy the EltaMD UV Pure SPF 47 Sunscreen ($36.35, U.P. $52.96).

What the reviews say: “The best part is probably the transparent zinc, which makes the white cast hardly noticeable (I’m a fair-skinned East Asian) when set. Texture wise, it’s not going to be that gummy silicone paste that sucks your skin dry a la SuperGoop or Innisfree.” – Nelson Lee, Amazon

Link Rewards

2024’s coming to an end, and before we can start to wonder where the time has gone, we’re already blowing a hole in our pockets on Christmas gifts and year-end holidays. Consequently, some of us are trying to ease the burden on our bank accounts by cutting back on expenses, whether that means skipping out on BBT for lunch or calling for private hire vehicles less frequently.

Well, if you’re tired of scrimping and saving every penny, get more bang for your buck instead with Link Rewards. It’s a reward programme which blesses users with a plethora of perks, by earning Linkpoints at FairPrice supermarkets and their partner outlets to cash in for enticing goodies. Here’s all you need to know before you start racking up points:


What is Link Rewards?


New icon - Link Rewards LinkpointsLook out for Link Rewards’ new icon for more opportunities to earn and redeem Linkpoints. 

Link Rewards is a reward programme by the FairPrice Group that benefits shoppers who are looking for a smart way to get the most out of their everyday expenditures. You’ll want to hop on the Link Rewards website and download the FairPrice Group app (App Store | Google Play) to get started.

Once you’ve got an account set up, you can start accumulating Linkpoints at FairPrice, Unity, and selected Cheers stores.

CaltexSome of their partner outlets include Crave Nasi Lemak, Bee Cheng Hiang, Skechers, ZTP Ginseng Birdnest, and Caltex.

Other than grocery shopping, you can also earn points at more than 1,000 partner outlets islandwide, across categories like Health & Beauty, Food & Beverage, and fuel. As such, foodies and shopaholics alike can start amassing Linkpoints at their wide range of partner outlets, including popular eateries, retail stores, and even gas stations.

QR code - Link Rewards Linkpoints

Simply download the FairPrice Group app, sign up for a free membership account or connect your Link account, tap on “Pay/Earn” on the app’s home page, and present your QR code in-store to earn Linkpoints on your purchases.

Sephora

For those who prefer to do their shopping online, they can log into their Link account before carting out on select brands’ online pages to earn 1 Linkpoint for every $1 spent. Head to the Link Online Mall website for the full list of brands. Just a heads up, they’ve got popular retailers such as Nike, Sephora, and Decathlon, which are perfect for those going on shopping sprees this festive season.


What can you redeem with Linkpoints?


UnityImage credit: FairPrice Group

Once you’ve saved up enough Linkpoints, there are a couple of ways to cash them in for all sorts of rewards. Firstly, you can use your Linkpoints to offset your purchases at any participating Link partners; every 100 Linkpoints will shave $1 off your total spending.

Rewards tab - Link Rewards Linkpoints

Alternatively, whip out your FairPrice Group app and tap on the “Rewards” panel on the home page. You’ll be brought to a page filled with app-exclusive rewards you can exchange your Linkpoints for.

Attractive rewards include Apple gadgets, namely Apple AirTag and AirPods earbuds, while stocks last. There’s also a whole range of cooking appliances to choose from, along with dining vouchers for restaurants like Takagi Ramen and Beauty in The Pot.

Flash deals - Link Rewards LinkpointsPast flash deals include KOI Thé Honey Green Teas so keep tabs on your apps as new rewards come pouring in. 

Additionally, from now till 31st December 2024, Link Rewards members can look forward to special deals such as a 50% discount on certain F&B offers and flash sales that cost just 99 Linkpoints. For example, they’re currently dishing out Obanyaki stuffed pancakes from 108 Matcha Saro, as well as medium Jasmine Green Teas from KOI Thé, for only 99 Linkpoints.

For NTUC Union members, if you have been hoarding your Linkpoints for something special, now’s a great time to spend them on these rewards before your Linkpoints expire on 31st Dec 2024.

KrisFlyerImage credit: @krisflyer.official via Instagram

You can also convert your Linkpoints into your preferred loyalty points or air miles via the Linkpoints Exchange website. Frequent flyers can rejoice, as they can snag Cathay Pacific’s Asia Miles or KrisFlyer’s KrisFlyer miles with their Linkpoints to save on airfare for their next vacation.

FairPrice Group App Play and Win challenge

Finally, don’t forget to check out the FairPrice Group app’s Play and Win challenges. You can take part by tapping into the “Play and Win” under your account – for now, completing tasks in the “Unlock 600 Linkpoints” challenge nets you a bonus of 600 Linkpoints. Those who’ve yet to earn Linkpoints with your app outside of the FairPrice Group can also stay tuned for a 12.12 bonus on 12th December 2024.


Download the FairPrice Group app to start earning Linkpoints


When it comes to saving money, cutting costs doesn’t have to be so burdensome when you’ve got a helping hand to make your money work for you. Consider giving Link Rewards a try, and perhaps that next bubble tea fix won’t weigh too much on your monthly expenditure.
