Delivery riders can #ScanToPay for safer and more rewarding transactions with PayMaya

With stricter quarantine measures imposed in parts of the country once again, many will be relying on delivery services for their everyday essential needs. To help ensure the safety of delivery riders, PayMaya is encouraging them to use contactless payments via PayMaya QR in partner merchants, which will also give them additional benefits and rewards as well.

By using PayMaya QR for their purchases, delivery riders are able to enjoy a safer payment experience which reduces the risk of transmitting the virus through cash handling – thereby adding a layer of protection for themselves and their customers.

Apart from the safety that PayMaya offers delivery riders, they are also rewarded each time they #ScanToPay for their customers’ orders or when they fill up their tanks at partner establishments because they can get up to 100% cashback (maximum of P500), which can easily add to their savings and income.

“Since the start of the quarantine, riders have become our ‘delivery heroes’ – braving the frontlines and bringing daily essentials straight to our doorstep so we can stay safe at home. We’re honored to offer our contactless payment solutions to these essential service personnel so they can remain safe and even get rewarded as they fulfill their customers’ transactions around the metro,” said Raymund Villanueva, Head of PayMaya QR Ecosystems.

To make their payment experience even more rewarding, delivery riders also have a chance to score a brand new Honda ADV 150 motorcycle whenever they #ScanToPay via PayMaya QR. All they have to do is spend a minimum of P200 when they pay at any of PayMaya’s partner merchants until September 15, 2020 to earn raffle entries. The more they use PayMaya QR, the more chances they have of winning!

Scan to Pay for maximum safety and rewards

Paying via PayMaya QR has been made quick and simple for delivery riders. All they have to do is scan the PayMaya QR code displayed at the counter or at the One by PayMaya device in partner merchants, key in the amount they need to pay and hit confirm. With this payment method, there is no need to exchange cash or card at the counter, which also helps protect the service crew of partner merchants and establishments.

PayMaya QR is available at the biggest restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacies and gasoline stations all over the country – including Jollibee, McDonald’s, KFC, Mang Inasal, Chowking, Greenwich, Red Ribbon, Goldilocks, Landers, Robinsons Supermarket, Rustan’s Supermaket, Shopwise, Super8, Mercury Drug, Watsons, Petron, and so much more.

For riders who don’t have a PayMaya account yet, they can easily download and register for free and even receive perks for it. When they register using the promo code RIDER, they get a PhP 50 reward, which they can receive after they upgrade and add money to their PayMaya account.

realme TechLife robot vacuum quick review: Affordable and feature-filled

10/30/2021

Following our recent exploration of the realme Pad, it’s time to dive into the expanding world of realme’s TechLife series. Beyond smartphones, this lineup now includes an array of innovative gadgets aimed at simplifying our daily routines. From fitness bands to hair dryers, realme surprises us yet again with not one but two vacuum cleaners — one handled and one robot.

Today, let’s zoom in on the latter – the realme TechLife Robot Vacuum.

Simple and discreet design

The realme TechLife Robot Vacuum boasts a symmetrical design with centrally positioned buttons and dual side brushes.This vacuum exudes modernity and sophistication with its minimalist approach, complemented by a glossy finish that, while prone to smudges, maintains a sleek appearance. A distinctive yellow accent adds a subtle brand touch without being overbearing.

With a height of just 10cm, the vacuum easily glides under most furniture, reaching areas that often go neglected because, let’s be honest, who doesn’t cut corners when cleaning to save time. realme has also incorporated collision-resistant tempered glass, enhancing the device’s durability. In our one-bedroom apartment, it did quite well to avoid the usual obstructions including walls, furniture, and even our pet cat.

The right amount of features for an easy clean

Equipped with 38 high-precision sensors, the realme TechLife Robot Vacuum is a powerhouse when it comes to efficient autonomous cleaning. Its LiDAR Smart Mapping and Navigation System sets it apart, providing unmatched accuracy and efficiency, even in dimly lit spaces. Apart from the initial setup, we didn’t have to do additional prep around the house, like moving or rearranging furniture, and the vacuum was still able to cover the entirety of our place.

Additionally, you can customize cleaning plans, adjust suction power, and create virtual barriers through the realme Link app. You can, for example, set restricted areas around the bathroom or the balcony so that the vacuum will automatically avoid these areas. We also had it scheduled to clean in the middle of the night while we were asleep so we woke up to a clean, dust-less floor.

As of writing, the additional mopping kit isn’t available yet but yes, the realme vacuum can be equipped with a water tank and mop pods so you can do an even deeper clean.

Quick first impressions

In our initial week with the realme TechLife Robot Vacuum, we’ve found it to be a significant time-saver, automating the cleaning process with ease. Its interactive nature, complete with vocal updates, adds a personal touch to the experience. The vacuum’s intelligent navigation and obstacle avoidance are impressive, showcasing the effectiveness of its 38 sensors. It confidently returns to its charging base when needed, avoiding collisions along the way.

Since we did just start using it, we haven’t had the expeince of cleaning or emptying out just yet though it should be fairly easy given you do it on a regular basis. Like most vacuums, robot or not, dirt and debris can get stuck. In our case, it was hair and fur that got caught on the rollers most of the time and we’d occasionally snip the tangled hairs just so it doesn’t pile up as we use the robot vacuum.

The TechLife robot vacuum comes with a 5800mAh battery which the company claims to offer about 300sqm of cleaning. Since we live in a space much smaller than that, running out of battery was never really a problem for us. It was able to do a full clean and go back home without any human intervention.

Final thoughts

The realme TechLife Robot Vacuum boasts all the essential cleaning features you might need at a pretty good price. It’s smart enough to clean on its own and is accurate too given its LiDar smart mapping tech. You’ve also got ease of use being app-connected plus it’s got a timeless design with a small footprint. Coupled with user-friendly features and pretty straightforward operation, the realme TechLife is a great affordable robot vacuum cleaner that will easily get the job done.
