CHOPE Is Dishing Out Secret Angpaos in Singapore This Chinese New Year

Let’s face it: How many times, as a child, have you received a red packet during Chinese New Year and experienced that secret anticipation as you opened the flap to reveal its contents? Well, whether you’re still receiving angpaos this year or have switched to giving them out instead, Chope’s Lunar New Year Secret Angpao initiative – running 12-28 February 2018 – lets you experience the cheap thrill of opening an angpao over and over again and it might just present you with the most rewarding red packet this year.

Filled with more than S$20, 000 worth of prizes, these virtual angpaos contain the likes of $50 Chope shop credits, 400 Chope-dollars (so you can continue redeeming these red packets) promo codes, restaurant vouchers, shopping vouchers, $88 in cash, and even staycations! Imagine, for the price of 50 Chope-dollars, you could be doing some retail therapy on digital marketplace Shopee or having a meal at a restaurant that you’ve always wanted to try on the cheap. Two lucky diners will also score a well-deserved break at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Singapore on top of the Secret Angpao goodies.

For those unfamiliar with Chope-dollars, each successful fulfilled reservation on Chope sees 100 Chope-dollars credited to your account. Thus, in the grand scheme of things (especially if you eat out a lot at Chope restaurants like we do), opening some mystery red packets sounds like a sure-win situation.

Redeeming your Chope-dollars for a Secret Angpao is easy peasy too. Simply visit the redemption page here to cash in the 50 Chope-dollars, and you’ll receive a Secret Angpao in your email linked to your Chope account. Open the email to unveil the contents of the red packet, and enjoy the fruits of your labour. Just note that each diner is limited to five Secret Angpaos each day!

If you haven’t started accruing Chope-dollars, no fear, there’s time yet to start making bookings for festive gatherings this week and next since the last day of redemption of the angpaos is 28 February 2018 – have a Happy Chinese New Year.
