> Every date and figure below was read off the operator's own page on 6 September 2026. Where a campaign has closed, this page says so rather than leaving it up. Three of the offers this page has carried since July are gone, and they are named in full below.

Merdeka sales are not one event. The season conventionally runs from 15 August to 16 September, bridging Hari Merdeka on 31 August and Malaysia Day on 16 September. That means the day most people assume is the finish line is actually the halfway mark — and it is the single most useful thing to know about this window, because retailers split cleanly into two groups either side of it.

What closed, and when

This page was written on 22 July around the only two things that had firm dates at the time. Both ran out in August, and a third has gone since:

  • The Perfect Livin Lifestyle Home Expo at Mid Valley Exhibition Centre ran 14 to 16 August 2026. Expos price to clear and do not repeat, so there is nothing to wait for here.
  • Adidas Malaysia's Merdeka window was 25 to 31 August 2026, up to 30% off applied at cart. It closed with Merdeka Day.
  • Pizza Hut's Merdeka Missions, the 69-sen voucher loop this page led with on 31 August, can no longer be verified. Pizza Hut Malaysia has rebuilt its website, and the promotions page carrying the Missions terms now returns a 404; the Missions appear on neither the new Special Offer wall nor the public Coupons wall, which on 6 September held four codes and none of them Merdeka. The discounts themselves survive — see the entry above for the prices read today — but the voucher on top of them should be treated as gone.

They are named rather than quietly deleted because "what was confirmed" is only useful if you can see what happened to it.

What is still running, and until when

All four numbered entries above were checked on the operator's own page today, and the table sets them side by side.

The short version: Setel has the longest runway at 30 September and is the only one that pays you for a purchase you were making anyway. Sunway Pyramid is still flagged ONGOING and is the one to check if you are already in the Klang Valley. LEGOLAND is the only entry that is an event rather than a discount — and after 31 August it is a quieter one, because all four of its prize competitions ran in the 28–31 August block. Pizza Hut is now the odd one out: the pizza prices are verifiable to the sen, and the voucher mechanic is not verifiable at all.

The offer that is still running but is not a Merdeka offer

Worth knowing if you are heading up to Genting: the events page at Genting Highlands Premium Outlets today lists Premium Outlets x Genting Rewards, 1 July to 30 September. Earn 6GP in a day at the centre for a Genting SkyWorlds 1-Day Standard Ticket, 3GP for a Skytropolis 1-Day Unlimited Ride Pass, or 2GP for two Eufloria Gardens & Sculpture Park tickets, all redeemed through the RW Genting mobile app. Two more sit alongside it, both dated 1 January to 31 December: a spend-and-redeem cable car ticket and a complimentary train ride ticket.

None of those are Merdeka campaigns. They started in July or in January and they end on quarter and year boundaries. They are listed here only so you do not go up the hill expecting a Merdeka price and come back thinking you missed it.

The LEGOLAND ticket route that actually saves money

The August version of this page said LEGOLAND's saving came from the resort's standing Book Now & Save 20%. On the resort's own day-ticket pages today, that is the worse of the two routes for a Malaysian.

Book Now & Save 20% takes the 1-Day Theme Park adult ticket from RM205 to RM164 and the child ticket from RM175 to RM140. It is open to Malaysians, long-term residents, Singaporeans and international visitors, but it must be booked at least five days before the visit, and it does not apply to the 1-Day Water Park ticket at all.

Buy 1 Free 1 is on the same site, restricted to Malaysian citizens and long-term residents. Buy one full-priced adult day ticket and the second adult ticket is free, open-dated and valid for one visit within six months of purchase. It covers the 1-Day Theme Park at RM205, the 1-Day Water Park at RM149, the 1-Day Double-Park at RM285 and the 1-Day Triple-Park at RM345. An adult ticket can be used for a child or senior entering, but a child or senior ticket cannot be used by anyone aged 12 or over.

The two cannot be combined — the Buy 1 Free 1 terms exclude other discounts, rebates and promotions, the MyKad promotion included. So the arithmetic for two Malaysian adults to the Theme Park is:

  • Book Now & Save 20%: RM164 × 2 = RM328, booked five days ahead
  • Buy 1 Free 1: RM205 for the pair, bought any time and used any time in six months

That is RM123 saved, and the flexible route is the cheaper one — which is the reverse of how these things usually go. Buy 1 Free 1 is also the only one of the two that touches the Water Park, where a pair costs RM149 instead of RM298.

Why the survivors all look the same

Line the four up and the pattern is hard to miss. Not one of them ends on 31 August. Two end on 20 September, four days past Malaysia Day; one on 30 September, the quarter end; and the fourth, Pizza Hut's, publishes no end date at all. The campaigns that stopped on 31 August — Adidas, and the great majority of the August posters — were built around Merdeka Day as the finish line.

So the practical rule for the rest of this window is simple. If a poster's end date is 31 August, believe it. If it runs to 16 or 20 September, the retailer has budgeted for the Malaysia Day tail and you have real time to think about it. There is no third category where an expired Merdeka offer quietly keeps working.

How to use the last two weeks

  • Groceries. The Setel cashback is the only entry here that pays you for a purchase you were making anyway. One RM100+ receipt a month at MYDIN or AEON BiG, or at a Lotus's self-checkout, is RM6.90 back for scanning a code. It runs to 30 September, so there is a September and no October to it.
  • Eating out. Take Pizza Hut's Merdeka collection prices — a regular pizza at RM17.50 against RM35.00 is the single biggest percentage on this page — and do not build an order around earning a 69-sen voucher that the site no longer documents.
  • A day out. Decide the LEGOLAND ticket route before the date. If everyone going is Malaysian, Buy 1 Free 1 wins and needs no advance booking; if anyone in the party is a foreign visitor, the 20% is the only one they qualify for and it needs five days' notice.
  • Shopping. Sunway Pyramid's month-long tenant deals are set outlet by outlet, so confirm your brand is in before making the trip. The one-day WAU! prices left in the window fall on Malaysia Day itself, 16 September.

A note on how we list deals

Every promotion above has a date and a source, and both were re-read today. Where terms are set by individual outlets rather than centrally — Sunway Pyramid is the clear case — this page says so rather than presenting a number as fixed.

Verify before you travel for something. Promo mechanics get restructured and stock runs out. Nothing here is a substitute for checking the retailer directly on the day.
