What Are LazCoins?
LazCoins are Lazada Philippines' in-app loyalty currency. Every purchase on Lazada Philippines earns coins, and so do daily app activities — missions, games, live stream engagement, and promotional events. Once accumulated, coins are exchanged for platform vouchers: fixed-peso discounts (₱20, ₱50, ₱100 off) or percentage vouchers (10–15% off with a spend cap). Those vouchers then apply at checkout like any regular Lazada voucher.
The key distinction: LazCoins are a second savings layer, not a replacement for vouchers. A shopper who collects coins through daily missions and converts them at the right moment effectively gets a free platform voucher on top of all the other discounts in their checkout stack. Used consistently, LazCoins lower the effective cost of every order — even when no sale is running.
How to Earn LazCoins — Every Method Ranked
Lazada distributes coins through multiple channels. Not all are equal in effort-to-reward ratio. Here they are ranked from highest to lowest value per minute spent:
| Earning Method | Typical Coins | Effort | Best Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily Missions | 50–150 coins/day | 2 min | Every day |
| Purchases | 1 coin per ₱10 spent | None (automatic) | Every order |
| LazGames (Shake It, Coins Rain) | 100–500 coins/session | 5–10 min | Sale event days |
| Lazada Live Streams | 20–80 coins/stream | 5–15 min watching | Anytime |
| Flash Coin Drops (Sale Events) | 200–2,000 coins/drop | Speed — first-come | 11.11, 12.12, 6.6 |
| Voucher Collection Tab | 100–300 coins/batch | 1 tap | Pre-sale windows |
| Writing Product Reviews | 50–150 coins/review | 2–5 min | After every purchase |
The optimal routine: open the Lazada app each morning, complete daily missions (two to three taps), watch a live stream for a few minutes if one is running, and leave a short review after each delivery. Done consistently, this adds 2,000–4,000 coins per month without any additional spending.
Daily Missions — The Most Consistent Earning Method
Daily missions reset every 24 hours and are the single best passive LazCoins source. Typical missions include: opening the app, browsing a category, visiting the Vouchers tab, watching a Lazada Live clip, and tapping a Flash Deal item. Each completed mission adds 10–30 coins. Completing all missions in a day yields 50–150 coins, depending on the current promotion tier.
During sale event weeks (11.11 week, mid-year week), Lazada multiplies daily mission rewards — sometimes 3x or 5x normal rates. A shopper who maintains the daily habit during an 11.11 build-up week can earn 500–1,000 coins purely from missions before the sale even starts. That's already most of the way to a ₱50–₱100 voucher before spending a peso.
LazCoins During Sale Events — The Multiplier Effect
Lazada sale events are when LazCoins earning accelerates most dramatically. Three mechanics activate simultaneously:
Flash Coin Drops appear on the homepage and Vouchers tab during the 24–48 hours before a mega sale. These are time-limited coin distributions — claim windows open at specific hours (often midnight, noon, 6PM), and the coins go fast. A single flash drop can award 200–2,000 coins. Setting a reminder for drop times during 11.11 or 12.12 can net more coins in one evening than a full month of daily missions.
LazGames multipliers run at elevated rates during sale periods. The Shake It game, Coins Rain, and other LazGame formats award 3–5x coins during active sale weeks. Ten minutes of LazGames during an 11.11 event can yield more coins than two weeks of regular daily missions.
Purchase multipliers also activate: instead of 1 coin per ₱10 spent, Lazada sometimes offers 2x or 3x purchase coins during sale events. A ₱3,000 order at 3x would earn 900 coins — enough for a ₱90 voucher on the next purchase.
The smartest LazCoins move isn't saving up for the biggest voucher — it's converting coins the day before each sale event and using that voucher as the platform layer in your stacking checkout. A ₱50 LazCoins voucher stacked with a ₱150 seller voucher and a 10% bank promo on a ₱2,000 order saves more than any of those three discounts would save on its own.
How to Convert LazCoins into Vouchers
Converting coins is done inside the Lazada app under Me → My LazCoins → Redeem. The redemption catalogue shows all available vouchers with their coin cost, peso value, and minimum spend requirement. Navigation steps:
- Open the Lazada app and tap Me (bottom right).
- Tap My LazCoins — this shows your current balance and expiry dates.
- Tap Redeem to open the voucher catalogue.
- Select a voucher. Check the minimum spend requirement — make sure your planned order meets it.
- Confirm the exchange. The voucher moves to your Vouchers wallet immediately.
- Apply it at your next checkout from the Vouchers section.
Redeemed vouchers typically have their own expiry (7–30 days after conversion). Convert coins close to when you plan to shop, not months in advance. If a voucher expires unused, the coins are gone — they do not convert back.
Getting the Best Peso Value Per Coin
Not all LazCoins redemptions are equal. Standard redemption rates hover around ₱0.10 per coin — 200 coins for ₱20, 500 coins for ₱50. But Lazada periodically offers bonus redemptions where the effective rate is higher:
| Voucher Type | Typical Cost | Peso Value | ₱ per Coin |
|---|---|---|---|
| ₱20 off (min ₱500) | 200 coins | ₱20 | ₱0.10 |
| ₱50 off (min ₱1,000) | 500 coins | ₱50 | ₱0.10 |
| ₱100 off (min ₱2,000) | 800 coins | ₱100 | ₱0.125 |
| Sale Bonus Rate (e.g., 11.11) | 300 coins | ₱50 | ₱0.167 ✓ Best |
The ₱100-off voucher (800 coins) consistently gives better per-coin value than smaller denominations, as long as your order meets the ₱2,000 minimum. If you're buying something over ₱2,000 — a phone case bundle, a clothing haul, a kitchen item — hold coins for the ₱100 tier instead of burning them on multiple ₱20 vouchers.
Stacking LazCoins With Other Discounts
LazCoins-converted vouchers are just platform vouchers — they behave identically to any other Lazada Voucher at checkout. This means they slot into Layer 1 of the voucher stacking guide and stack cleanly with seller vouchers (Layer 2) and bank card promos (Layer 3). A correctly stacked order using a LazCoins voucher looks like this:
| Layer | Discount | Running Total |
|---|---|---|
| Start | Listed price | ₱2,000 |
| Layer 1 | LazCoins voucher: ₱100 off (800 coins) | ₱1,900 |
| Layer 2 | Seller voucher: ₱80 off | ₱1,820 |
| Layer 3 | Mastercard promo: 10% off, capped ₱200 | ₱1,638 |
| Layer 4 | GCash cashback: ~5% (≈₱82 back) | ₱1,556 effective |
Total effective savings: ₱444 on a ₱2,000 order — 22% off, with the LazCoins voucher contributing ₱100 of that at zero cash cost. The 800 coins that generated the Layer 1 voucher were earned through daily missions and two purchase reviews over roughly three weeks.
LazCoins vs ShopeeCoins — Which Loyalty Program Pays More?
Both Lazada and Shopee Philippines run loyalty coin systems, but the mechanics differ enough to matter for strategic shoppers.
| LazCoins (Lazada) | ShopeeCoins (Shopee) | |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase earn rate | ~1 coin per ₱10 spent | ~1 coin per ₱1 spent |
| Redemption value | ~₱0.10 per coin | ₱0.01 per coin (100 coins = ₱1) |
| Effective earn per ₱1,000 spent | ₱10 in voucher value | ₱10 in coin value |
| Daily non-spend earning | 50–150 coins via missions | Up to 500 coins via games + check-in |
| How coins are used | Convert to voucher, then apply | Apply directly at checkout (up to 50% of order) |
| Coin expiry | 365 days from earning | 6 months from earning |
On purchase-based earning, both programs deliver approximately ₱10 in loyalty value per ₱1,000 spent — the numerics differ but the effective rate is similar. The key differences are in usability: ShopeeCoins apply directly at checkout without a conversion step, and Shopee's non-spend daily earning cap is higher. LazCoins have a longer expiry window (365 days vs 180 days) and convert into platform vouchers that can be combined more flexibly with other Lazada promotions. For a deeper platform comparison, the Shopee vs Lazada Philippines guide covers the full voucher and shopping experience side by side.
Your 5-Step LazCoins Maximization Routine
- Set a daily reminder at 8AM. Open the Lazada app, complete all missions in the LazCoins section. Two minutes, 50–150 coins added. Do this before the daily reset.
- Play LazGames during any Lazada sale event. Shake It and Coins Rain are highest-yield during 11.11 week, 12.12 week, and payday sale days. Block 10 minutes on those days.
- Leave a review after every delivery. Reviews award 50–150 coins per product and take under two minutes. Don't skip this — it's free money back from purchases you already made.
- Hold coins for the ₱100 voucher tier. Don't cash out at ₱20 or ₱50 unless coins are nearing expiry. The 800-coin ₱100 voucher gives the best peso-per-coin rate on standard redemptions.
- Convert coins the day before a mega sale. Vouchers redeemed from coins apply just like any Lazada Voucher at checkout. Convert during the pre-sale window (24 hours before) to have them ready to stack on top of sale-period seller vouchers and bank promos.
Common LazCoins Mistakes to Avoid
Letting coins expire unused. Check your LazCoins balance monthly (Me → My LazCoins). If you have a batch expiring in the next 30 days, convert them into whatever voucher you can use — even a ₱20 off is better than zero.
Redeeming for a voucher you can't meet the minimum on. A ₱100-off voucher with a ₱2,000 minimum is worthless if you're only buying a ₱800 item. Match the voucher tier to your planned order size, not to the highest peso value.
Using a LazCoins voucher when a higher-value free voucher is available. Check your Vouchers tab before converting coins. If there's already a ₱150 platform voucher available from a flash claim, use that and save your coins for a future order.
Skipping daily missions during sale build-up weeks. The pre-sale mission multipliers (3x–5x) are the fastest earning windows of the year. Missing a week of missions during 11.11 prep means leaving 1,000–2,000 coins — ₱100–₱200 in voucher value — on the table. See the Lazada voucher calendar for exact sale dates to block out in advance.
