Like with all things in this day and age, the art of gift-giving has also evolved over time. Nowadays, people have a lot of options when it comes to buying gifts and sometimes, it can get overwhelming.

The latest addition to SM’s product line-up, SMGP Choice aims to make gift-giving a more convenient, personalized, and relevant experience for both giver and receiver.
Here is a quick guide to SMGP Choice.
What is SMGP Choice?
SMGP Choice comes in the form of a card that has a scratchable film at the back, which reveals a 10-digit code and bar code. It can be used to purchase any item from SM Stores and affiliates. Designed with the gift givers and recipients in mind, it makes gift giving a hassle-free experience for everyone. The SMGP Choice comes in P100, P500, and P1000 denominations, and is powered by Sodexo.
Whether you’re going to give it as a gift to your loved ones, as a reward to your employees, or as a reward at an event, everyone will surely appreciate the flexibility that SMGP Choice affords them.

This product gives the recipient the power of Choice. Recipients of SMGP Choice can redeem in-store and, soon, even online. Eventually, they will also be able to redeem from more lifestyle and leisure SM brands.
