The world’s number one oats brand is kickstarting the new year by encouraging Malaysians to nurture consistent, healthy, and mindful habits.

From now until June 16, Quaker Oats is offering exclusive health and wellness rewards with every purchase through the Jom Quaker Fit Rewards Program, which aims to empower consumers on their Jom Quaker Fit journey. The campaign launched in May 2024 and was designed to encourage Malaysians to embark on a journey of self-care and self-improvement by managing their weight through proper diet and a healthier lifestyle.

The exciting rewards program includes a range of health and fitness benefits from spa and beauty vouchers, fitness packages, health screening or consultations, and healthy dining promotions.

"We understand that maintaining healthy routines during festive seasons can be challenging. That is why this year, we want to inspire Malaysians to kickstart their mornings with mindful choices, like including eight tablespoons or 75 grams of oats in their breakfast favorites and easy 20-minute exercise routines,” said Aditya Ahuja, Commercial Director of PepsiCo Malaysia.

To redeem the rewards, you just need to follow these four simple steps:

  1. Purchase one pack of any Quaker product
  2. Scan the QR code on the packaging/site/in-store communication to sign up for the Rewards Program

If you choose to purchase on Quaker’s official online store on Shopee, you’ll be able to stand a chance to win Touch 'n Go eWallet credits with every RM50 worth of Quaker products purchased.

"Our goal is to empower Malaysians to cultivate consistent habits. We hope that the Jom Quaker Fit Rewards Program can be a catalyst to help Malaysians transform actions into habits. By partnering with over 70 strategic partners, such as Fitness First, Celebrity Fitness, Yogaia, DBC Physiotherapy, LlaoLlao, Salad Atelier, APT Hair Salon, and HealthLand, just to name a few, we hope that these rewards serve more than just perks, but as a stepping stone towards healthier choices that help consumers stay consistently confident from the inside out throughout the year," he added.
