Globe customers can now convert their data into Rewards points that can be donated to help Typhoon Odette victims.
Starting January 15, Globe customers can go to the Rewards section of the new GlobeOne app and tap convert data from the account of their choice.
Data conversion is as follows:
• 1GB = PHP 10
• 5GB = PHP 50
• 10GB = PHP 100
According to Globe, donations will be used in the relief efforts of partner organizations Ayala Foundation, GMA Kapuso Foundation, Rise Against Hunger Philippines, Tzu Chi Foundation, ABS-CBN Foundation, and PGH Foundation, in areas hit by Typhoon Odette.
To convert unused data, follow the steps below.
Moreover, mobile customers both prepaid and postpaid, as well as home broadband customers both prepaid and volume-based postpaid, can convert their points into donations via the new GlobeOne app.
Meanwhile, donations via Globe Rewards and GCash are still open. To those who are interested to donate, the #GCashGivesBack QR Codes of partner beneficiaries may be accessed through this link.
“Our aim is to arm our customers with as many options as possible to help and reach our kababayans affected by Typhoon Odette — all from the safety of their homes. This first-in-the-industry Data-As-Currency offer gives our customers means not only to maximize their data subscriptions, but also extend a helping hand,” said Issa Guevarra-Cabreira, Globe Chief Commercial Officer.

Can’t they just donate instead of soliciting to customers for donation?
