GCash has launched a joint holiday promotion with Philippine Airlines (PAL) in the United States, aiming to increase its subscriber base in the country by approximately 100,000.
“We hope to jack up the number of our users here in the US by at least 100,000,” said Joanne Rivera, GCash North America Business Development Head.
The raffle is open to all active GCash users in the US with a +1 area code mobile number. Customers who use GCash services between 1 October and 30 November 2025 will earn an entry.
To join, users must register and verify a GCash account with their US number and use features available in the US, such as sending money, paying bills, or using GSave.
Five winners will be drawn on 10 December 2025, with each winner receiving two round-trip tickets to the Philippines.
The partnership also includes service integrations. According to Jomito Torres, PAL’s area manager in Los Angeles, QR codes at PAL check-in counters will link passengers to the eTravel platform and the GCash app.
Jomito described this as a quick, practical touchpoint that removes last-minute hassles and sets our kababayans up for a smoother trip home. A “PRGCash” promo code is also available for PAL transactions.
Additionally, officials from the Philippine Consulate General in Los Angeles and the Department of Tourism (DOT) indicated a potential future use for the partnership.
They suggested that organisers of the 2026 Very Important Pinoy (VIP) Tour could ask participants to pay for their PAL bookings using the GCash app.
