Grab Philippines has rolled out GrabCoins across its everyday services, turning rides, food deliveries, grocery runs, and GrabPay payments into a single rewards currency. Coins earned on one service can be spent on another — pay for a GrabCar ride with coins earned from GrabFood orders, or use them at stores that accept GrabPay QR. The expansion was announced this week, making the Philippines one of the markets where Grab's rebranded loyalty program now spans the whole app.
GrabCoins is the successor to GrabRewards. Grab retired the old points program across Southeast Asia in late 2025, converting existing GrabRewards points into GrabCoins one-to-one. The program operates in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Vietnam.
How you earn GrabCoins
Coins accumulate on eligible transactions across the app:
- GrabCar — including Advance Booking and Group Ride trips
- GrabFood — including group orders you host
- GrabMart — grocery and pharmacy purchases in participating categories
- GrabPay — in-app and in-store cashless payments
- In-app activities — selected promos and challenges
GrabUnlimited subscribers earn at a published rate: 6 GrabCoins for every ₱100 spent using GrabPay, and 3 GrabCoins per ₱100 on other eligible cashless payment methods. Grab also runs limited-time earning boosts on specific services, such as bonus coins on large GrabFood or GrabMart orders.
What GrabCoins are worth
On Grab's Philippine GrabCoins page, the minimum balance to redeem is 15 GrabCoins, which the company values at roughly ₱1. Do the arithmetic and the GrabUnlimited earn rate of 6 coins per ₱100 via GrabPay works out to about ₱4 back for every ₱1,000 spent — a modest rebate on its own, which is why the monthly promo windows and stacked vouchers matter if you want real value from the program.
How to redeem
There are two paths. You can exchange coins for vouchers in the GrabCoins catalog, or apply coins directly to eligible GrabCar, GrabFood, and GrabMart transactions using the GrabCoins toggle at checkout, which instantly trims the amount you pay. Coins also work on in-store purchases at merchants that accept GrabPay QR Ph payments — meaning the rewards are not locked inside the app.
Double Coins Days and expiry
Two dates to remember. First, Grab is introducing Double Coins Days in the Philippines: from the 23rd to the 25th of every month, selected transactions earn twice the usual coins. Second, coins do not last forever — GrabCoins expire six months from the month they were earned, so a balance left untouched quietly disappears.
For millions of Filipino Grab users, the practical upshot is a loyalty economy that now spans transport, delivery, and payments, with concrete mechanics that reward routing more of your spending through GrabPay. Whether that is worth doing depends on how much of your daily spending already happens inside Grab — the coins are a bonus on spending you would make anyway, not a reason to spend more.
FAQ
How much is a GrabCoin worth in pesos?
Grab's Philippine redemption floor is 15 GrabCoins for about ₱1 of value. At that rate, 1,000 coins are worth roughly ₱65 to ₱70 when applied to a transaction.
When do GrabCoins expire?
Coins earned from January 2026 onward expire six months from the month they were earned. The app shows your balance and upcoming expiries in the GrabCoins section.
What happened to my old GrabRewards points?
GrabRewards points were converted automatically into GrabCoins at a one-to-one rate when the program changed over. No action was needed, but converted balances follow the same six-month expiry rules.
