5. Get additional rebates when you use your BDO credit cards, cash cards or debit cards at The SM Store. As credit cards make purchasing more convenient, it also gives us additional perks. Like if you use your BDO cards on the three day sale, the shopper will be getting additional rebates:
A. 10% rebate will be given on a minimum P25,000 purchase when you use your locally issued BDO Visa, Mastercard, JCB, Union Pay / American Express credit card.

C. 3% rebate will be given on a minimum P3,000 purchase when you use your locally issued BDO Debit or Cash Card.
Take note: The rebates will be applicable on the net of all discounts (SMAC and Class Discounts).
6. Make a list and shop early. Take note that the 3-day sale particularly its first two hours is something that people really look forward to so expect many shoppers as eager as you to shop. This is particularly obvious at The SM Store and Ace Hardware. One helpful tip is to hunt for your “things to buy” the day before the sale. Try to fit the clothes and shoes, tests the appliances and inspect the items you are planning to buy. The sales associates at The SM Store and Ace Hardware are friendly enough to reserve those items for you. Have your items ready on one cart so when tomorrow comes, you will just be paying your items at the counters.
7. Take note of the mall hours. August 28, opening at 9am, closing at 10pm. August 29-31 opening at 10am and closing at 10pm.
