From selecting the perfect destination to organizing the entire itinerary, every detail counts when planning the ultimate summer adventure. Travel besties Cocoy Lim and Justine Sy make sure they have a truly unforgettable adventure with the best experiences. Their secret? They use GCash and its features in all aspects of their trips, from planning to making payments, no matter where they are. Check out these top tips from Cocoy and Justine for you to plan out your next summer adventure!
Tip #1: Don’t forget to get
GInsure Travel Insurance for your luggages
When it comes to affordable travel insurance, Cocoy and Justine
ensure they’re financially protected before being on the go by getting GInsure
Travel Insurance. Within the GInsure dashboard of the GCash app, you can find
different insurance products to suit your needs, including GInsure Travel
Insurance for as low as Php 350.
Filipinos can benefit from having protection against unexpected
travel expenses resulting from trip delays and cancellations, loss and damage
to baggage, accidents, and illnesses. Coverage does not include skilled
laborers traveling for employment, high-risk occupations, or one-way trips.
“As a frequent traveler, it’s better to be safe than sorry,
especially if you have delayed flights or any issues that are travel-related!”
shares Justine.
Tip #2: Simplify your
planning by using GCash to Pay Online
GCash helps you plan out your trips through its various
partners offering special deals at great prices. If you’re shopping for all
your summer style needs, you can enjoy special offers on TikTok Shop when you
pay with GCash.
Meanwhile, you can find exciting deals for various summer
experiences and activities via Klook. You can also use GCash online to pay when
you Buy Load for Globe and TM to ensure you stay connected wherever you go.
Cocoy shares, “In my experience, I just tell my friends or
travel companions, GCash ko nalang, ha!
That means that you’ll just transfer your payments to that person! This just
shows how cashless transactions are the way to go. No need to make sure that
you have the exact change for the payment, or if you have enough cash to pay!”
Stay on the lookout for more Mega Summer deals this season, so
you can venture into new destinations and make lasting memories with your
travel besties.
Tip #3: Maximize the ways
to pay with GCash
Justine and Cocoy's recent cashless summer experience in La
Union with GCash exemplifies the seamless integration of the finance super app
into local travels. The trip highlighted how users can go cashless in one of
the country’s most popular summer destinations as they used GCash to Scan to
Pay – from dining at trendy restaurants to exploring various attractions and
even while going from one destination to another.
Justine explains, “[GCash is so] convenient. Let’s be real,
2024 na, not a lot of people are
carrying cash with them, but 10/10 times they have their phone! I’m glad to
know La Union is adapting to this. Pati
yung tricycle drivers naka GCash,
which is convenient!”
Meanwhile, if your summer travels are taking you out of the
country, GCash gives you the option to pay cashless with the GCash Card.
Cocoy adds, “The all new GCash Card is my newest travel
must-have! I first tried using it when I went to Hong Kong recently, and I was
able to withdraw cash, pay for things, and enjoy a low FOREX rate pa!”
