Who Says yuu Is Only for Aunties? Why Gen Z Loves the yuu App Too

When you think of the yuu App, you might think of "aunties" chasing deals at the supermarket or saving up their points through reward programmes. But what if I told you that this App is just as handy and savvy for Gen Zs like us?

We may not be doing weekly grocery hauls for a family of five, but we still love our bubble tea treats, convenience store runs and finding ways to save while enjoying life's little luxuries. Turns out, yuu might also be great for young people looking to save smartly while spending guilt-free.

Here’s how I use yuu to save at least $50 every month – all while staying true to my fun and flexible lifestyle.

Making the Most of the App as a Gen Z yuu-ser

yuu makes saving simple, even if your shopping habits center more around bubble teas and snacking on onigiris on the go than stocking up on household essentials. Here's how Gen Zs - like you and me - can use yuu to our advantage.

Shop and Save at 7-Eleven

Yes, we enjoy the occasional weekend retail therapy. Saving while you’re spending? That’s for sure a W. With yuu, you rack up Points at all your favourite stores and redeem them for some Rewards.

🍙 For example, every spend at 7-Eleven earns Points—yes, this means I'm earning with every purchase of my usual onigiris and ready-to-eat meals. yuu even offers Boosters, multiplying the Points you earn on selected products! Recently, I bought a $3 onigiri meal which rewarded me with 24 yuu Points instead of the usual $1 = 1 Point—thanks to an 8x Booster. That’s savings you can actually feel good about!

And here’s the best part — if you paid with your PAssion POSB Debit Card, you’ll earn up to 18x Points on top of the base Points for your purchase! Imagine combining this with a Booster—it’s the ultimate way to maximise savings. For instance, that same $3 onigiri meal could earn you 54 additional yuu Points which is 75 yuu Points in total. What a rewarding way to save even more while enjoying your everyday favourites!

**💡 Pro Tip**

Check out the yuu App for seasonal $1 Offers at 7-Eleven like $1 Oatside Oat Milk and you can complete your meal with a drink to go!

Earning Points While Enjoying Your Bubble Tea Fix

If you’re anything like me, bubble tea is a non-negotiable treat. The great news is that with yuu, you can earn yuu Points while indulging in your bubble tea cravings at amps Tea. Every time you buy your favourite drinks, you’re earning Rewards in the same currency at $1 = 6 yuu Points, which can later be redeemed for even more Rewards within the yuu network. It’s like a win-win situation – enjoying your bubble tea and saving for future treats at the same time.

Big Savings on Ride-Hailing with Gojek

If you’re a proud passenger princess like me, you’ve probably felt the sting of ride-hailing peak prices. But here’s where the PAssion POSB Debit Card comes in clutch again.

For example, say your ride via Gojek costs $30. You earn 540 yuu Points instead of just 30 Points —a handy $2.70 cash rebates in disguise. Sure, it might not fund your next brunch outing but it does adds up fast!

💡 Pro Tip: Want to save even more? Redeem your yuu Points for $5 Gojek Cash Vouchers at 50% Off the usual Points required – more reasons to continue the passenger princess life.

More Rewards? Yes, Please!

The best part about yuu is how flexible it is. Whether you’re caught between classes, running errands, or looking for affordable ways to treat yourself—you’ll always find something worthwhile.

Need proof? A Toast Box Iced Kopi/Teh costs just 390 yuu Points to redeem (essentially $1.95 worth of Points). It's the most redeemed Reward for good reason—the ultimate caffeine fix in student-budget style.

And if you’re saving for something bigger, yuu offers an assortment of Super Duper Rewards which are discounted Rewards that are going for half the usual Points required. Imagine redeeming those Gojek or foodpanda cash vouchers for your next ride or takeaway order.

Why Gen Zs Should Give yuu a Try

We’re a generation known for valuing both convenience and individuality. Sure, we’re all about the vibes, but we're also financially savvy. yuu doesn’t make saving boring but does quite the opposite—it makes it easy and rewarding, no matter your lifestyle.

If you want to spend but save at the same time, the yuu App is more than worth a download. Combine it with the PAssion POSB Debit Card and you’ll stretch your dollar further while living your best life.

Saving money doesn’t have to mean sacrificing fun. With yuu, you can go for snack runs, enjoy occasional taxi rides and bubble tea treats without feeling guilty about emptying the bank.
