For a shopaholic like me, SM malls are really a one-stop-shop. Department store, Supermarket, Toy Store, Hardware, Pharmacy, Payment centers and a Bank until 7pm. It is so convenient that earning points is like an automatic thing for me. I always carry my SM Advantage card in my wallet like a credit card. And another nice thing here is that you can also earn points when you gas up at any Petron Station and purchase at any Ace Hardware even outside of SM Malls. I've been an SM Advantage shopper since October 2004. And just this August 2009 I was promoted as an SM Advantage-Prestige member. [Yehey!]
Some of the "advantages" of being a Prestige member are the exclusive lounges, members-only gift wrapping counter, Prestige lanes at the supermarket and reserved parking space [I haven't tried this one yet but I will have to try that this weekend i guess].
I've been to the SM Prestige Lounge at Megamall and Makati. As they say "It is a haven within SM Department Store for the exclusive use of SM Prestige members. It has spacious reception & waiting areas, elegant but cozy furniture, wall-to-wall carpeting, built in shelves & cabinets and a fully-functional pantry. Prestige members who want to relax and take time off from their shopping can enjoy the convenience of separate powder-cum-fitting rooms for men and women, package counter, diaper changing area, massage chairs, Nokia Charging Stations and Wi-Fi connection. A team of friendly and courteous staff is always ready to attend to the needs of members and their guests."
The ambiance is so relaxing. It's a place to be if you want a time off after hours of shopping. A cardholder can only bring up to two persons. They also serve iced tea and coffee [I believe its for free and part of the service. Haven't ask one yet. hihihi]
Well, I guess we'll just have to enjoy these perks once in a while.
You can also check your points online when you visit and register to their site.
