Users of the Maya app (formerly PayMaya) are in for a big surprise this whole month of September.

Just recently, a number of billboards all over the country started calling the attention of specific Maya app users, asking them to check their crypto wallets.

One of them is Reinzel Cabrera, a student from Cebu, who was reported to have received a whopping P1 million worth of Bitcoin by simply paying his bills with Maya.

The news started gaining the attention of netizens, and many of them have since started asking if the free bitcoin giveaway from Maya is for real. If you were to check out the Maya website (https://www.maya.ph), then you’ll know that the ongoing bitcoin freebie deal is real.

Get free Bitcoin everytime you pay with Maya

Starting this month, the all-in-one money app is giving its users free Bitcoin, plus a chance to take home P1 million worth of the cryptocurrency.

The promo runs until September 30 and is open to all upgraded Maya consumer accounts who will Pay with Maya using either Number, Card or QR codes.

According to the Maya website, there are only three simple steps to follow if you wish to join the promo: 

  1. Pay with Maya at least P100 via QR or via mobile number, or at least P800 via card at stores all over the Philippines and online.
  2. Get free Bitcoin up to P500 each month until September 30! Every purchase gives you guaranteed Bitcoin worth 1%, 10% or 100% of your purchase. For example, your P500 purchase can give you P5, P50 or P500 in free Bitcoin!
  3. Wait for the SMS notification and then check your crypto wallet to claim your free Bitcoin.

“Maya is already the most accessible way to get into cryptocurrency in the Philippines starting as low as P1, and our Free Bitcoin promo drives even further accessibility while providing more opportunities for our customers to grow and master their money,” said Pepe Torres, chief marketing officer for Maya. 

“We’re excited to be the first Philippine fintech to offer Bitcoin as a reward and form of cashback (or cryptoback!) whenever customers pay merchants with Maya. There is no better time to take advantage of our all-in-one money app to start paying for all your wants and needs because it’s a risk-free way to get into crypto. Sayang ang free Bitcoin!” added Torres.

More than just an e-wallet

Completely free to download and register, Maya lets users enjoy a feature-rich e-wallet, an inclusive digital bank, and everything else they need to save, spend, grow, and manage their money — right from their smartphone. 

The app is powered by end-to-end digital payments company, PayMaya Philippines, and Maya Bank for digital banking services.

Maya is also among the few e-wallet services in the country that provides users with a seamless, all-in-one crypto experience, allowing users to buy, sell, hold, and even spend their crypto earnings in just one app.

Those who earn from crypto can reap the additional funds to pay bills, buy load, shop for groceries, or even save through the Maya Savings feature, which offers an interest rate of 6%.

Launched in April 2022, Maya’s crypto feature lets users buy, hold, and sell cryptocurrencies for as low as P1, making it ideal for crypto novices and enthusiasts.

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are decentralized digital currencies that one can use to make transactions online. You can also wait for their value to increase before selling them for a profit.
