Taptap Send launched its It's Tyme to Come Home campaign on September 16, 2026, to help families reunite for Christmas. The program runs through November 30, 2026, offering travel prizes to the Philippines.
Why it matters
Only about 5% of overseas Filipinos are typically able to travel home for the holidays. This initiative aims to increase those opportunities for families separated by long distances.
Eligible users must send at least P5,000 via Taptap Send to a Gotyme Bank account to qualify for the prize package. The award includes two round-trip economy flights, airport transfers, a family salo-salo, and P20,000 cash.
The players
Taptap Send
This is a mobile application that facilitates international money transfers for users across multiple continents.
Gotyme Bank
This is a digital banking institution that partnered with the campaign for remittance processing.
Cebu Pacific
This is a major Philippine airline that provides the round-trip flights for the campaign grand prize.
The details
Taptap Send partnered with Gotyme Bank and Cebu Pacific to facilitate the promotion for users in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Europe, Australia, United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain. Winners will be announced during the second week of December.
Timeline
The campaign promotion began on September 16, 2026.
The deadline to qualify for the promotion is November 30, 2026.
Winners will be announced in December 2026.
Travel Outlook
This initiative capitalizes on the historical trend of peak Christmas holiday travel demand among overseas Filipino workers. It reflects the intense desire for reunions during the festive season while addressing the logistical barriers inherent in international holiday transit.
Users in participating countries can qualify by ensuring their transfers to a Gotyme Bank account meet the P5,000 minimum requirement before November 30. Travelers should keep their documentation ready for potential prize redemption if they are selected in December.
The takeaway
Participating in seasonal corporate promotions can be a viable strategy to offset the high costs of international holiday airfare. Readers should always verify the specific transfer requirements and deadlines before initiating transactions to ensure eligibility.
What happens next
Taptap Send is scheduled to announce the winners of the promotional campaign during the second week of December 2026.
