How to Easily Unlock the First 10% Using Lazada (Updated August 2025)
One of the simplest and most cost-efficient ways to unlock the 6.5% QRPh/Card Spend boost is through Lazada cash-ins using your Maya Wallet and card. Here's how:
Step-by-Step Lazada Hack
1. Link Your Maya Wallet/Card to Lazada
Go to Lazada > Wallet > Cash In > Cards
Add your Maya Virtual or Physical Card
2. Fund Your Maya Wallet
Make sure your Maya Wallet has at least ₱35,000. This is the spending requirement for the 6.5% interest boost.
3. Start a Cash-In on Lazada
Choose Cash In via Linked Card (your Maya card).
Enter ₱35,000 as the amount.
4. Wait for the Confirmation
Maya will send you an SMS confirmation once the cash-in is successful.
5. Get the 10% Interest
Within a few days, you should see your interest rate jump to 10% (3.5% base + 6.5% QRPh/card boost).
6. Transfer Back to Maya
Use Lazada's 1-time free bank transfer to move the ₱35,000 back to your Maya Wallet or other e-wallets.
This closes the loop — no actual net spending, but you still unlock the interest.

Why Lazada?
Cash-in is free, and they offer a 1-time bank transfer out — no fees, no hassle.
GrabPay Variant Still Works Too
Similar steps apply to GrabPay, where you can load funds via your Maya card, then cash out or use them — also counting toward the required spend. However, Lazada remains the preferred option due to ease of transfers and fee-free setup.

Final Notes
This technique works as of August 1, 2025, but Maya may update terms anytime.
These boosts are technically spend-based, so while you're moving money around, the system counts it as eligible "spend".
Always verify via the Maya app or SMS that your boosts are active.
