This Jollibee National Day of Joy campaign is debuting to coincide with the June 24th holiday and to reward consumers named Joy with a delicious offer. The campaign focuses on the more than 6,000 members in the Jollibee Rewards database named Joy who have been instantly awarded 800 points to be redeemed for a variety of items in-store. The campaign thus delivered more than five-million points to consumers, which need to be redeemed within one week before they expire on Tuesday, June 30, 2026.
Senior Vice President and Marketing Head, Jollibee North America Luis Velasco commented on the Jollibee National Day of Joy campaign saying, "Following our recent recognition by TIME as a global industry disrupter and leader, we wanted to create an authentic ‘surprise and delight’ moment to celebrate our loyalty members named after our signature word. Giving away over 5 million points to thousands of our favorite ‘Joys’ across the country is just one more way that we are spreading the “joy of eating” among our superfans and bringing a smile to the table on this National Day of Joy.”
