Even more ways to earn: GrabRewards just got even better

Even more ways to earn: GrabRewards just got even better

The Star2 days ago
LET'S be honest – most of us use Grab without thinking twice. Breakfast on-the-go? Tap. Drowned under a pile of work at the office and can't step out for lunch? Tap. Midnight munchies? Tap. Grocery top-up? Tap.
But what if every one of those taps could get you a little something extra?
Grab has just rolled out a bunch of new ways for you to earn and redeem GrabRewards, when you're using GrabFood, GrabMart or anything under the Grab umbrella.
And the best part? You don't even have to do anything extra – just tweak your usual habits a bit and watch the points roll in.
Earn while you eat
Whether you're hankering for a warm, buttery kaya toast or a hearty plate of nasi lemak to jumpstart your morning – or craving for coffee and cake during your tea break at work, you'll be scoring even more GrabRewards.
Just place your order between 8am–10am or 2pm–4pm, spend RM20 or more and you'll score a hefty 5% back in GrabRewards.
Have lunch duties for the office or dinner plans at home with the family? No worries.
Be the one to place a group order with at least three people and get 3% back on your total. You'll be everyone's favourite – and you'll rack up points while you're at it.
If you always find yourself going back to your fave restaurants on Grab, you're in luck. Spend RM25 or more at any Grab Signatures eatery and earn 5% in GrabRewards.
Pick your favourites, and tap on 'Offers' to select the additional GrabRewards to earn.
The points earned from the order are also shown as part of the order.
More than food
But of course, tasty treats aren't the only way to earn those points. When getting your essentials at Jaya Grocer, just tap GrabPay or swipe your GX card at checkout, earn 1.5X back in GrabRewards for every RM1 spent and watch the points roll in.
When you're running low on GrabPay, you can top up your wallet from your GX account and earn 1 GrabReward when you top-up GrabPay wallet with linked GX Account, and you'll earn 1 GrabReward for every RM3 top-up.
And to make any of your holidays even more rewarding, use any Grab service abroad and snag three times the points – yes, even those tuk-tuk jaunts and airport transfers count toward your next reward.
Sweet stack of rewards
Here's the game changer in the spruced up GrabRewards: These offers can be combined or stacked. So if you order your favourite eat from a Grab Signatures restaurant for your team during the tea-time window – you'll be unlocking multiple rewards in one go.
The best part? No more waiting around for points to pile up before you can enjoy the perks. With the new 'burn toggle' on GrabFood and GrabMart, you can redeem your GrabRewards instantly – even if you've only got a small stash.
From breakfast to groceries, there's so many ways to earth more GrabRewards on the newly revamped GrabRewards.
All in a tap
Earning GrabRewards and scoring sweet savings has never been simpler. Before you hit that checkout button, all you have to do is tap 'Offers' and pick the deal that fits your order.
You'll see your rewards reflected in the summary, so you know exactly how much you're getting back. Easy, transparent and worth it.
Whether it's your team lunch, groceries, or a quick ride abroad, Grab now gives you more ways to earn. You don't need to spend more – just spend smarter.
With the introduction of even more ways to earn GrabRewards within the platform, Grab is also streamlining the GrabRewards multiplier, so every user can earn GrabRewards whether they are a GrabUnlimited user or not.
Here is a summary of GrabRewards' points system, effective Aug 22:

From designer shoes to toasters, scavengers salvage luxury goods abandoned by college students

Valentino sneakers that retail for US$980 (RM4,165). A Tovala toaster oven, originally US$390 (RM1,655). A Clear Home Design Lucite table, which would have cost US$899 (RM3,820) – except in this case, it was free. Lena Geller found those items, and many others, in the trash room of her apartment building in Durham, North Carolina, the United States after scores of Duke University students had moved out at the end of the spring semester. "It feels wrong for this much stuff to have been thrown out,' Geller wrote in an article for INDY Week, where she's a staff writer. She kept a spreadsheet of the roughly 70 items she found in the trash, estimating, after doing some research, that they originally retailed for US$6,600 (RM28,040) in total. "I've had a few friends text me after reading the piece, like, 'We should put together some kind of business plan',' Geller, 26, said in an interview. "It does feel like most of the stuff that I got was just sitting there. I do think there's a lot of money to be made.' Two pairs of designer shoes and a Lucite table that once belonged to Duke University students. Every year, as graduation season ends, many departing students throw away or simply abandon expensive household items and luxury goods instead of donating or taking them back home. Local residents and scavengers are stepping in, rescuing items to reuse or sell, then touting their finds on social media. Peter Valley, a 47-year-old software company founder, has been selling discarded books from college students for years. To him and many other scavengers, college campuses are a virtually inexhaustible source of goods that can be resold, kept or donated. "My earliest success was dumpster diving at Caltech in Pasadena,' he said. "My girlfriend and I dumpster dived a couple thousand dollars' worth of books from the campus recycling centre. That was a big 'aha!' moment, where I realised that this could be a real business.' These days, Valley is primarily focused on his software business. Reselling books nets him a monthly income in what he describes as a "low four-figure amount'. At his peak, he said, he had five-figure months. Haul videos Some scavengers post haul videos of their finds on social media. Late spring sees an explosion of such content because that is when college students move out of their dormitories. "The stuff college kids waste is crazy,' a TikTok user with the handle @bethanytaylorr posted last month. Her 27-second video of rummaging through the dumpster at an unidentified college and rescuing household items has been viewed nearly four million times. Such social media posts can serve as both advertisements and how-to guides. "The whole point of this is to get the stuff out of the landfill and have someone who can use it have it,' said Megan Godinez, whose TikTok account, MeganTheDDMvp, has nearly 500,000 followers. Godinez said there was a difference between foraging on college campuses and in the dumpsters behind the outlets of retail giants like Williams Sonoma or Home Depot. "College stuff is home stuff that you use — cleaning products, toilet paper, paper towels, a ton of Tide Pods (laundry detergent pods) and dish soap,' she said. "They're extremely useful.' A toaster oven that was previously used by Duke University students. Carla Manlapaz, 62, also finds plenty of household items when she dumpster dives at the college near where she lives in north central Texas (she did not want to reveal the name of the college for fear that school officials would crack down). She also found a Fender guitar, which she said she is hoping to sell on Facebook Marketplace for US$200 (RM850). She sells other items on sites like Etsy or Poshmark. "It's very exhilarating when you see all this good stuff that you can either make a little money on or use or donate to someone else,' Manlapaz said. "It's a thrill. I mean, I'm 62, and I'm retired. Doesn't take that much to amuse me.' College campus dumpster diving isn't new, but social media has given it prominence. At the University of Wisconsin, a stretch of August has long been known as "Hippie Christmas' because so many students deposit their unwanted belongings on front lawns. Bostonians, who live in something of a giant college town, devoutly mark "Allston Christmas' each September. In a 1991 essay, Lars Eighner, who became famous for chronicling his experiences with homelessness, said that he focused his scavenging on a college town and that he found "it advantageous to keep an eye on the academic calendar'. In recent years, many colleges have adopted what Scott Galloway, a podcaster and marketing professor at New York University's Stern School of Business, has called "the posture of luxury brands', with lavish housing and gyms fit for professional athletes. Some say such amenities inflate costs while doing nothing in the way of education. Yet many parents readily fork over thousands of dollars for interior decorators to work their magic on a child's college dorm. Lena Geller shows a neon heart light with an original retail of $117 that was left behind when Duke University students moved out of her apartment. — Photo: Cornell Watson/The New York Times) At the same time, anxiety about climate change is rising among young people. Rescuing and wearing someone else's Lululemon shorts is one way to fight back against pollution and wastefulness. "It's truly transgressive because it's stepping out of that idea that we have to be consumers,' said Lisa Beiswenger, an assistant professor at Saint Francis University who taught a class on dumpster diving at the University of Akron. Her students discovered that the 300 million tons (272 million tonnes) of waste Americans generate annually, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, include plenty of stuff that can be used, worn or eaten by someone else. Too much junk Blame the "Amazonification' of the US economy, said Rosalie E. Kerr, director of sustainability at Dartmouth College. "If you're going to a party, and the theme of that party is the 1920s, you can go on Amazon and buy a plastic 1920s outfit for US$17 (RM72) with one click. And that's really irresistible.' College move-out season adds a twist because students need to clear out quickly. Many discover that in the previous nine months, they've accrued far too many goods to store or bring home. Into the dumpster the Jazz Age flapper outfit goes. "We have a lot of junk that's in that category,' Kerr said. Then come the dumpster divers. On social media, many marvel at their finds. Someone threw away what? You found that? But not everyone views the scavenging as a social good to be celebrated. "One of the challenges of creating a dumpster diving culture is the inequities,' Kerr said. Only certain people may know when and where to scavenge. Some may lack the physical ability for intensive rummaging. Others may be mistaken for trespassers. "It truly sucks that a Black person could possibly get mistreated or even killed doing the same thing we were doing,' one Reddit user wrote on the site's dumpster diving forum. Lena Geller holds a toaster oven with an original retail of $390 that was left behind when Duke University students. — Photo: Cornell Watson/The New York Times) Some colleges have tried to address the waste. Georgetown University, for example, organises a donation drive intended to align with "the university's Catholic and Jesuit mission', according to an email sent to students, urging them to leave items at one of four sites on campus. The email said that last year, the school "diverted over 49,000lbs (22 tonnes) of material, valued at almost US$334,000 (RM1.4mil)'. But sustainability experts say that on many campuses, such efforts are either limited or nonexistent, leaving dumpster divers to perform an important service. Anna Sacks, a Manhattan-based waste expert, criticised Columbia University for not doing nearly enough to make sure that students can either donate or resell items like mini fridges, which are too cumbersome to carry home. At the same time, access to campus has been heavily restricted, making it an all but impregnable dumpster diving destination. "To see this every single year is disgusting,' Sacks said. This year, she scavenged what she could, even as she approached her ninth month of pregnancy. "I got maple syrup that I just had with my yogurt,' she said. Her friend scored a Moncler jacket retailing for more than US$2,000 (RM8,500). (A spokesperson for Columbia did not respond to a request for comment.) Scavenging veterans say that anyone wishing to join their ranks should look for schools with high populations of international students, who are unlikely to haul televisions on transoceanic flights. For safety and camaraderie, go with a group. And do remember that you're going to be sorting trash. "I bring hand sanitiser,' Sacks said. – ©2025 The New York Times Company

Harn Len posts stronger 4Q, declares special dividend of 3.00 sen

KUALA LUMPUR: Harn Len Corp Bhd remains cautious and is actively formulating strategies to safeguard its business operations. The plantation group said these include enhancing efficiency and implementing cost rationalisation measures to mitigate potential negative impacts. Harn Len noted that the crude palm oil (CPO) price is currently hovering between RM3,900 to RM4,100 per tonne. It said prices fluctuated in June 2025, driven by a surge in global crude oil prices early in the month and the ceasefire in the Israel-Iran conflict. 'Surge of soybean oil prices and high demand from India will help to support the CPO price, where the average CPO price for the year is forecasted to remain above RM4,000 per tonne,' it added. In the fourth quarter ended May 31, Harn Len's net profit surged to RM22.5mil, or earnings per share of 3.68 sen, from RM1.5mil, or 0.27 sen, a year ago. This brought its full-year profit to RM33.4mil, or 5.75 sen. Quarterly revenue rose 39.3% to RM70.9mil from RM50.9mil, lifting full-year revenue to RM283.2mil. Harn Len said the higher operating revenue was mainly driven by increased sales volumes of CPO and palm kernel. The surge in profit was primarily due to a gain from the disposal of an investment property. It has declared a special dividend of 3.00 sen per share for the financial year ended May 31, 2025, payable on July 15 to shareholders on record as at July 1.
