Should You Subscribe To GrabUnlimited?

With over 20 million registered users, Grab has dominated almost every aspect of Malaysians’ lives. As they would say, “From essential services to earning opportunities. We’re an all-in-one platform.”

Since late 2021, Grab has introduced a new subscription feature – GrabUnlimited. It’s a subscription plan that offers a slew of benefits for a flat monthly fee of RM4.90. And for the first two months, the subscription is free!

So, is it worth it to subscribe to GrabUnlimited?

GrabUnlimited: Doing The Maths

To demonstrate how much you can potentially save, we ordered food from Nando’s for lunch to show you the difference between using a normal Grab account and a GrabUnlimited account:

GrabUnlimited Promotion

Normal Grab User

Total: RM29.90 (Total savings of RM8)

RM32.90 (Original price) + RM5 (delivery fee) - RM8 (Grab Signature 20% Off + Hungry Deals 15% Off) = RM29.90

GrabUnlimited Member

Total: RM22.90 (Total savings of RM15)

RM32.90 (Original price) + RM2 (Free Delivery: RM3) - RM12 (GrabUnlimited + Grab Signatures 20% Off) = RM22.90

It’s pretty clear that with GrabUnlimited, you’ll be able to save almost 2x more than normal users. And with just one order, you would’ve already “made back” the monthly subscription of RM4.90!

The Verdict: Is GrabUnlimited Worth Subscribing To?

I’ve been a user of GrabUnlimited since March 2022, and I must say, it’s quite worth it. One of the biggest perks is the increased number of vouchers available, and even better, the option to combine two vouchers for added savings. This feature has been particularly beneficial in my use of GrabFood, where I’ve saved around RM445.

From my perspective, GrabUnlimited is particularly advantageous for those who frequently use Grab’s services. However, for those who only occasionally use Grab, the benefits might not be as noticeable. Overall, it’s been a positive experience, offering substantial value for regular users like myself.

Frequently asked questions

How much does GrabUnlimited cost?
GrabUnlimited costs a flat RM4.90 a month, and the first two months are free. The article's Nando's test shows why that fee is easy to cover: on the same order, a normal Grab user paid RM29.90 (RM8 saved) while a GrabUnlimited member paid RM22.90 (RM15 saved). So a single order can save back more than the RM4.90.
Is GrabUnlimited worth it?
It depends on how often you use Grab. The article says GrabUnlimited is worth it for people who use Grab's services frequently, while occasional users may not notice enough benefit to justify it. The writer, a member since March 2022, says they saved around RM445 on GrabFood, helped by more vouchers and the option to combine two vouchers on one order.
What benefits does GrabUnlimited include?
GrabUnlimited bundles perks across four areas. Food benefits include free delivery up to RM3 with a minimum spend of RM20, 10% off self-pick-up, and monthly Hot Deals promotions. Car benefits include RM5 off a GrabRide from Malaysian airports and access to top-rated drivers. Mart benefits add free delivery deals, and GrabRewards lets you earn more when you spend and redeem exclusive discounted vouchers.
