App-solutely fantastic

Take part in CapitaStar’s SuperStar Shopper Challenge to win $10,000 on an islandwide shopping spree.

Fancy indulging in some retail therapy with $1,000 fully sponsored by CapitaStar, and potentially winning $10,000 for your efforts?

Participate in CapitaStar’s SuperStar Shopper Challenge, so you can literally shop to your heart’s content and stand a chance to be rewarded handsomely.

To be held at Bugis+ on Nov 10, the Challenge is both a battle of wits and a race against time. 20 finalists will each be given $1,000 to go on a shopping spree across all 15 CapitaLand Malls.

Using the CapitaStar App, participants are required to use the most number of attractive e-deals and complete challenges from 10am to 6pm on the event day.

Of course, being the savviest shopper might require a little help from friends. Contestants are allowed to bring up to three friends along to help them decide on the best deals.

The CapitaStar App is part of CapitaLand’s multi-store, multi-mall rewards scheme.

The programme provides everyday shopping benefits on top of existing credit card and store loyalty programmes, in the form of STAR$.

CapitaStar App users earn STAR$ by snapping a receipt of their CapitaLand mall purchases through the app.

STAR$ may be exchanged for e-deals on the app, in the form of e-vouchers and discounts — up to 90 per cent off — at retail outlets.

Attractive PRIZES

A grand prize of $10,000 awaits the winner, in the form of 10,000,000 STAR$ in the CapitaStar App.

Other runner-up prizes are up for grabs as well. They include an OSIM uLove Massage Chair (worth $5,999) and a 5-Night Bangkok Explorer Cruise for two by Royal Caribbean (worth $2,678).

Non-competitors will also have the chance to participate in side challenges, lucky draws and on-stage activities at Bugis+ L2 Atrium from Nov 9 to 11. Among the additional prizes are a 4-Night Royal Caribbean cruise for two, Ascott stays in the Asia Pacific region and an OSIM Back Massager.

Deals worth racing for

With various e-deals available across retail, lifestyle and food and beverages (F&B) categories, there will be something that appeals to you, no matter what type of shopper you are.

Participating F&B merchants include FoodJunction, Crystal Jade and Godiva. Fashionistas also have the option of snapping up deals from jewellery and clothing brands such as Swarovski, Bering and Dorothy Perkins.
