Gift your taxi driver an ang bao for CNY (without paying a single cent)

If you happen to strike the cabbie lottery this Chinese New Year, why not pay it forward? That is, in the form of a red packet and a ‘thank you’ message. You won’t even have to open up your wallet for this.

As a gesture of appreciation by Grab for its drivers, all passengers are welcome to give digital ang baos (worth $8.88 each) to their cabbies. These gifts are completely sponsored by Grab, and you can send out an unlimited number on Jan 26 and 27 – although the company limits them to 5,500 in total per day.

To spread the love (and the money), book a GrabTaxi or GrabCar ride, type in promo code ‘XIEXIE’ (it’s ‘thank you’ in Mandarin), and your digital red packet will be on its way once your driver picks you up.
