HONG KONG – MoneyBack, one of Hong Kong’s largest and most trusted rewards platforms, is making a bold return to the spotlight with a major branding campaign designed to reintroduce its enhanced platform and expanded offerings to users. In a market where rewards programs are traditionally seen as the final step in the shopping process, MoneyBack is flipping the script.
MoneyBack: Revolutionizing Rewards in Hong Kong
The newly enhanced platform encourages users to explore rewards before making their purchases, transforming the way consumers plan their shopping experiences. The revamped app features an improved user interface (UI) and user experience (UX), and an impressive network of over 200 partners across a variety of categories. By putting rewards front and centre, MoneyBack empowers users to make smarter, more rewarding decisions—whether they’re shopping for groceries, planning a trip, or treating themselves to the latest fashion.
This marks a pivotal moment for MoneyBack, as the platform evolves from its roots in the AS Watson Group — encompassing brands like ParknShop, Watson’s, and Fortress—to a more diverse array of rewards categories, including fashion, sports, travel, and entertainment, becoming Hong Kong’s most rewarding loyalty platform. As part of this evolution, MoneyBack actively supports local communities through its “Neighborhood Treasures” Campaign, which invites small shops across Hong Kong’s 18 districts to join for free as partners. By offering Offline plus Online (O+O) promotion and exclusive consumer discounts, the campaign not only generates exposure for local businesses but also provides MoneyBack members with more diverse and delightful shopping experiences, further boosting local consumption.
