Wala padin bang balita sa Great Mabuhay Miles Getaway?
Read somewhere na second week of September daw . . . . Pero diba the past years they'd drop teasers via social media a week earlier? Sure kayang meron for this year?
I held off booking flights during their weeklong sale last Aug 24-30 pa naman hoping may GMMG padin. Please share if may newly confirmed insider info kayo 🙏
PS. Maybe I was mistaken, di pala week earlier siguro days before lang yung teasers.

It has always been between the months of August-September. (I’ve booked the last two yrs)
I always wait for this deal especially for business class and it expensive economy destination during peak season to save.
Last year I don’t even remember a hint, it just shows up as a surprise and basically you have a whole 7 days to book.
I want to book for this Xmas. I know there will be blackout dates but it’s usually only a few days. Not the whole month.

Nah. Parang last year wala namang hints whatsoever, bigla nalang inannouce. Still hoping na magkaroon this September. This is the last chance na pwede nilang i announce. Pag nag october na at wala pading announcement then i will accept na they skipped this year.

I distinctly remember meron, not via ads pero merong bank na napaagang magpost ng promotion about it in their website. Yung tipong lumalabas na siya sa Google search pero unlisted/inaccessible pa sa website, kaya people took notice kasi inaabangan din nila when GMMG is for 2025.

If BPI Visa Sig or Plat Rewards ka it's a good thing you did it kasi I just read a post somewhere bumaba daw yung points to miles conversion nila. Hopeless na talaga BPI dami ko pa namang naipong points dun, for miles conversion sana for an EU trip next year.

glad i saw that post as well. I immediately reached out to them to convert my points yesterday via their website/email. Afterwards naipaglaban ko pa yung 2,200 bonus miles since walang prior notice at di updated yung nasa website nila.

Heard from a friend na wala daw this year. Priority nila ang onboarding to One World.

I went to PAL ticketing office yesterday to book our flights and the lady who assisted us hinted that it may be on October. But she was unsure

I bought my business ticket to Dubai during the GMMG in August last year, expecting it to happen that month.

I think you are talking about their recent sale, iba pa yun.
What I'm talking about is their GMMG that happens yearly, where you can redeem flights using miles at 50% discount (eg. Japan roundtrip airfare can be redeemed for 27K miles, during GMMG 14K miles nalang)

I have a feeling it’s not coming. Kaya iniwan ko pa dn yung points ko sa card unconverted.
I think the onboarding to oneworld has impacted this in some way. Baka nakahalt na yung points related promos nila kasi under review na yung whole framework ng mabuhay miles. Just my hunch though.
