> Quick view: correction — the Borneo 200 Mission Card did not end on 31 August 2026. Ai-CHA extended it to 30 September 2026, and its own campaign artwork says so: "Mission Card — Extend 1 July – 30 Sep 2026". If you have a part-filled card in Sabah, Sarawak or Labuan, you still have until the end of September to finish it.

What changed, and when

This article originally reported the Mission Card as running 1 July to 31 August 2026. That was the campaign's opening window. Ai-CHA Malaysia then posted a revised Borneo 200 poster on 23 July 2026 carrying the line "Mission Card — Extend 1 July – 30 Sep 2026", under the caption "More Time, More Chances to Win!". Re-checked on 10 September 2026: that post is still one of three pinned to the top of Ai-CHA Malaysia's official Instagram profile, and no later post supersedes it.

The same 23 July update extended the photo contest too — but only to 31 August 2026, not 30 September. So the earlier report that the contest closed on 31 July was also wrong; it ran a month longer than we said, and it is closed now either way.

Where the three legs of Borneo 200 stand on 10 September 2026:

  • Borneo 200 Mission Card — 200,000 free drinks, pool valued at RM1mil+ — 1 Jul to 30 Sep 2026 — still open, roughly three weeks left
  • Borneo Creative Photo Contest — RM25,000+ cash — 15 Jun to 31 Aug 2026 (extended from 31 Jul) — closed
  • Social Media Viral Challenge — RM17,000+ cash — shortlisted from the photo entries — closed to new entries

How the Mission Card actually works

  1. Buy at a participating outlet. Each qualifying purchase earns one stamp on the Borneo 200 Mission Card. Ask for the card and the stamp at the counter — it isn't applied automatically.
  2. Follow Ai-CHA's official social channels. This is a stated entry condition, not a suggestion: Ai-CHA lists following its official Facebook, Instagram and TikTok accounts alongside the purchase requirement.
  3. Collect five stamps between 1 July and 30 September 2026.
  4. Submit. The campaign poster carries a QR code headed "Mission Card & Photo Contest Submission" — scan it in-store, because the submission link is not published as plain text anywhere on Ai-CHA's site or social bios.
  5. Meet all three conditions and you stand a chance at a reward drawn from the 200,000-drink pool, collectively valued at more than RM1 million.

Ai-CHA has still not published a ringgit figure for the minimum spend per stamp — the condition is worded only as a "minimum purchase" — so confirm the threshold at your own outlet before you order. Ai-CHA doesn't publish prices on its own site either. JAKIM's own directory compilation of the brand puts its menu roughly in the RM2 to RM7 band (ice cream RM2–RM5, milk tea RM3–RM7, fruit tea RM3–RM6, coffee RM3–RM6, smoothies RM4–RM7), which makes five qualifying visits an outlay of somewhere around RM10 to RM35. Treat that as an estimate, not an official number.

Worked example: is three weeks enough?

Twenty days remain as of 10 September. Buying one drink every four days at Ai-CHA Centre Point gets you to five stamps by 30 September on drinks you were buying anyway — no extra trips, no extra cost. Starting from zero on 28 September, though, means five qualifying purchases inside three days, which only makes sense if you're splitting a group order.

If you started a card in July or August and stopped because you thought the campaign died on 31 August, this is the part worth acting on: those stamps are still valid.

Who it suits — and who should skip it

Worth doing if you already drink Ai-CHA weekly, live near a Borneo outlet, and don't mind following three social accounts.

Skip it if you'd be buying drinks you don't actually want just to fill the card. The reward is chance-based from a pool — five stamps is a qualification, not a guaranteed free drink — so the value of forced purchases is poor.

What else Ai-CHA has live in East Malaysia this September

Ai-CHA runs two different September calendars, and the posters say so in as many words. Getting them mixed up is the easiest way to walk into a Sabah outlet asking for the wrong thing.

The East Malaysia Only Ai-Scream calendar, 1–30 September 2026, sets which soft-serve flavour is on that day:

  • Monday — Lemon
  • Tuesday — Seasalt
  • Wednesday — Lemon
  • Thursday — Seasalt
  • Friday — Lemon
  • Saturday — Ice cream of the day (outlet's choice)
  • Sunday — Lemon

The West Malaysia Only calendar for the same month is a different rotation entirely — Monday, Thursday and Sunday are Yogurt, which does not appear on the East Malaysia calendar on any day. Ai-CHA launched a new Yogurt Series on 1 September 2026; a Malaysian deals aggregator lists it at RM1.99 for an Ai-Scream Yogurt and RM4.00 for the Sund-Ai and Ai-Shake versions, but those ringgit figures are not published on Ai-CHA's own channels, so treat them as unconfirmed. What is confirmed, on Ai-CHA's own poster, is the geography: the yogurt calendar is West Malaysia only.

One September offer does reach Borneo. The Berry Besties poster, posted to Ai-CHA Malaysia's own Instagram and Facebook on 6–7 September 2026, carries no regional restriction at all — unlike the Ai-Scream calendars, which are stamped "East Malaysia Only" and "West Malaysia Only":

  • Sund-Ai Blueberry — RM5, size U on the poster
  • Ai-CHA Blueberry Fruit — RM5, size M on the poster

No end date is printed on the Berry Besties artwork, and Ai-CHA's limited series have historically run a month or extended without notice, so don't plan a special trip around it.

Halal status: Sabah now leads the country

This is the part that has changed most since August, and it matters more to this article's readers than the campaign does.

Read directly off JAKIM's e-Halal directory (halal.gov.my, category "Premis Makanan", keyword AICHA) on 10 September 2026: 60 Ai-CHA premises are listed, all under AICHA FOOD MY SDN BHD. By state:

  • Sabah — 21 (the most of any state in Malaysia)
  • Selangor — 17
  • Johor — 10
  • Negeri Sembilan — 8
  • W.P. Kuala Lumpur — 3
  • Melaka — 1
  • Sarawak — 0, and W.P. Labuan — 0

One of the 60, Ai-CHA Terminal Bersepadu Gombak in Selangor, is flagged "Sijil Telah Ditarik Balik" — certificate withdrawn — so 59 are active. The Sabah certificates run to 15 August 2028 or 31 August 2028.

That reverses the picture third-party halal compilations were still publishing in August. One widely-cited compilation of the same JAKIM data, last updated 3 August 2026, records certified Ai-CHA outlets in only three states — Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Kuala Lumpur — and states that the Sabah and Sarawak outlets run under a separate company with no JAKIM certification at all. As of this run that is out of date: Sabah's outlets now appear under the same peninsular entity, and Sabah has more certified Ai-CHA premises than Selangor does.

Two caveats worth stating plainly. Sarawak and Labuan still have none — a Muslim customer in Kuching, Miri, Bintulu or Labuan who needs premise-level certification will not find an Ai-CHA outlet that has it. And certification is per-outlet and franchisee-driven, so the outlet next door to a certified one may not be certified. Check the specific branch on the e-Halal portal before you go.

Every Ai-CHA outlet in Malaysian Borneo — and the ones the locator hides

Ai-CHA Malaysia's official store locator, re-read on 10 September 2026, still lists 33 outlets in Malaysian Borneo — 24 in Sabah, 8 in Sarawak, 1 in Labuan. That is unchanged since August, and the nationwide total is unchanged at 288.

Sabah (24 on the locator). Kota Kinabalu: 1 Borneo Hypermall, Centre Point Sabah, Karamunsing Komplex, KK Plaza, City Mall, Metro Town, EG Mall, Aeropod Commercial Square, Inanam Mall, Market 88 Kepayan, Megalong Mall (Donggongon), Sepanggar/Sulaman Sentral, University Utama Square (Telipok), Pekan Tuaran. Penampang: ITCC Shopping Mall, Royal Plaza Putatan. Sandakan: Harbour Mall, Bandar Kim Fung, Bandar Utama, Sejati Walk. Elsewhere: Plaza Keningau, Papar Pusat Komersial Baru, Semporna, Kota Marudu.

Sarawak (8). Miri: Emart Commercial Centre (Jalan Tudan), Marina Phase 2, Bandar Baru Permyjaya, Jalan Miri–Pujut. Kuching: Metrocity 3 (Jalan Matang, Petra Jaya), AEON Kuching Central. Plus Aiman Mall (Kota Samarahan) and Town Square (Bintulu).

Labuan (1). Labuan Financial Park Complex, Jalan Merdeka.

But treat 33 as a floor, not a total. Cross-checking the locator against JAKIM's 21 certified Sabah premises, only five appear on the locator — Aeropod, Inanam Mall, Metro Town, Papar Komersial Baru and Plaza Keningau. The other 16 are trading outlets with live halal certificates that Ai-CHA's own store finder does not list:

  • Lahad Datu: Bandar Sri Indah, D'Perdana Square
  • Tawau: Kubota Square, Megah Jaya, Utara Business Hub
  • Sandakan: Jalan Labuk Batu 32
  • Ranau: Gmart Ranau, Pekan Ranau
  • Penampang: Plaza Kivatu, Telipok Ria
  • Papar: Parklane Benoni City
  • Also Kota Belud, Kunak (Maganting Plaza), Membakut, Tamparuli Point and Kuala Penyu (Petronas station)

Whole districts — Tawau, Lahad Datu, Kunak, Ranau, Kota Belud, Tamparuli, Membakut, Kuala Penyu — have Ai-CHA outlets that the store locator does not show at all. If the locator says there is nothing near you in Sabah, that is not evidence there isn't. Ask locally, or search the e-Halal portal for your town.

The wider Borneo 200 campaign also covers Ai-CHA's Brunei and Kalimantan outlets, which sit outside Malaysia.

Fine print

  • The Mission Card window is 1 July to 30 September 2026 per Ai-CHA's revised artwork. The original 31 August date is superseded.
  • The stamp threshold is described only as a "minimum purchase" — no ringgit figure has been published, so ask in-store.
  • Following Ai-CHA's official social accounts is part of the entry condition, not optional.
  • Rewards are drawn from a 200,000-drink pool on a chance basis; completing five stamps qualifies you, it doesn't guarantee a drink.
  • The photo contest (closed 31 August after its own extension) and the viral challenge that drew its shortlist from those entries are both done — don't buy expecting to enter either.
  • Not every branch runs every element of the campaign, so confirm participation before making a special trip.

Verification

Re-checked on 10 September 2026. The 30 September Mission Card end date was read off Ai-CHA Malaysia's own campaign poster on its official Instagram (posted 23 July 2026, still pinned), which prints "Mission Card — Extend 1 July – 30 Sep 2026"; the companion poster in the same update prints "Extend till 31 Aug 2026" for the photo contest. The September Ai-Scream calendars were read off two separate Ai-CHA posters dated 1 September 2026, captioned "for East Malaysia" and "for West Malaysia" and stamped "East Malaysia Only" and "West Malaysia Only" respectively. The Berry Besties RM5 prices and size codes were read off the brand's own artwork. Outlet counts come from Ai-CHA Malaysia's store locator, and the halal figures from JAKIM's e-Halal directory, both read the same day. The Mission Card submission QR could not be decoded from the published artwork, so the submission page's full terms — including any ringgit minimum — remain unread; scan the code in-store.
