POPULAR Super Holiday Promotion to 16 September 2026: The RM12 Card Is Worth More Than Most Prices on the Flyer
POPULAR Bookstores is running its Super Holiday Promotion from 28 August to 16 September 2026 at all 80 POPULAR and HARRIS outlets in Malaysia. We read the campaign artwork on POPULAR's own site at full resolution and priced every line on it. The finding that matters is not the headline "Save up to 25%": it is that a large share of the flyer carries two prices, a public one and a lower member one, and the gap on a single item runs as high as RM19.90. A one-year POPULAR Card costs RM12 and a three-year Privilege Card costs RM25, so on this flyer one Chinese business title, one K-pop CD or a six-item back-to-school basket already pays the card off. Separately, members get a one-time 20 percent storewide gift certificate valid to 27 September, which breaks even at RM60 in a single receipt. One block of the same flyer, the WOW! panel, was only ever valid in August and is already dead.
Suria Sabah, Kota Kinabalu (September 2026): What's Still Live After Merdeka — and the 4 Dead Offers Still on the Mall's Page
Suria Sabah's Merdeka sales have closed. Re-checked against the mall's own Offers and Events page on 3 September 2026, eleven offers that were live in late August are gone — Thai Odyssey's RM69 pair deal, HABIB, TOMEI, LAC, AKEMI, OH!SOME, MUJI, Pandora, Sushi Zanmai and the Kidzooona anniversary card among them — and four of those expired offers are still displayed on the mall's page with their own past end dates printed in the caption. What replaced them is worth the trip: a POPULAR Bookfair on the 3rd floor concourse to 6 September (not on the mall's page at all), Sushi King's free blind-box plushie to 30 September, Thai Odyssey's RM160 cashback on a RM900 package to 30 September, and a Lea Centre stock clearance to 17 September. DRUM's RM57-off tier runs to 16 September, Sports Direct's RM31 and RM69 rebates to 6 September, and Kidzooona's RM28 weekday admission to 15 October. One trap worth knowing before you go: Sushi King's RM10 Wagyu deal, which reads as national everywhere it is written up, is West Malaysia and Langkawi only and cannot be claimed in Sabah.
