Festive lights and trees are starting to sprout at every corner you turn, which can only mean one thing – Christmas is almost here. And with that comes the puzzling decision of knowing what to get your friends and family for the gifting season.
Thankfully, we’ve gotten to the bottom of this mystery with a shopping guide at Great World. As a bonus, you’ll even be able to chalk up enough dollars to redeem Great Reward points and e-Vouchers for more savings. Here’s what to expect:
Shopping at Great World this season is going to be rewarding in more ways than one, and all you have to do is sign up as a Great Rewards member.
Download the Great Rewards app (App Store | Google Play) to register for free with a local-registered mobile number. You’ll then get to earn Great Rewards points as you shop, which can then be used to redeem free parking, e-Vouchers to offset your spending as well as surprise retail and dining deals.
This festive period, Great Rewards members won’t just get that warm, fuzzy feeling from picking out gifts for their ones, but they’ll also get their hands on sure-win digital scratch cards to win Great Rewards points.
Simply make a purchase of $100, scan your receipt with the Great Rewards app, and get the digital scratch card awarded into your membership account upon approval of your purchase submission.
You’ll get 1 scratch card awarded per day to your account with $100 spent, and stand to win up to 3,000 Great Rewards points which are worth $15.
Spend $150 to get 1,000 points credited into your Great Rewards member account upon the approval of your receipt submission. This quick and easy process means you won’t even have to queue up at the Customer Service Counter.
Bonus: We all love great deals days like 12.12. When you spend $60 at Great World on 12th December 2022, you can get 1,212 Great Rewards points*.

It’s easy to rack up the dollars needed for these rewards when you know what you want to get. And even if you don’t – it’s all good, here’s a mini-guide on what to get for your Christmas gatherings:

Like the Grinch who discovered that Christmas is more than just a time for getting presents, you too can grow your heart 3 sizes by sending gifts that fight hunger and feed hope within children in East Africa this season.
It’s easier done than said – really. Just look out for the Giving Machine from World Vision Singapore at Level 1, outside Ginza Anzu.
It works just like a regular vending machine, where you pick out a donation package of $10, $20, $50 or $100, then pay just by a tap of your credit or debit card on the terminal. As a bonus, you’ll also get 300 Great Rewards points with every donation made at this machine.
Funds raised through the Giving Machine will be channelled by World Vision Singapore to support vulnerable communities in East Africa with life-saving aid.
It’s going to feel a lot like Christmas as you shop and dine at Great World this November and December. For one, the mall is decked out in Christmas cheer for you and your loved ones to snap loads of group pics.
And as you capture these memories, be sure to check out the live performances from 25th November to 25th December in front of Lee Hwa Jewellery (#01-151) on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Christmas jingles get the piano treatment during these sets and there’ll even be a surprise violin and piano duet on 11th December to look out for.
Yuletide is a mere couple of weeks away, so we reckon it’s best to start your prezzie-shopping sooner rather than later.
With a wide range of lifestyle choices for everyone in your life, Great World is a convenient location to swing by if you’re looking to complete your shopping list all in one place. Save more with attractive rewards at Great World this festive season and rack up more Great Rewards points.
Plus, the newly opened Thomson-East Coast Line brings Great World closer to you. Just alight at Great World MRT station (TE15) to get to the mall.
