“Suki” is a Tagalog word that means “loyal,” and in the Philippines, buyers are often called by this term. I remember when I was a teenager, I never paid much attention to the price of a 3.4g box of baby formula milk. Now, as a mom who values discounts and perks, especially with the rising cost of toddler milk—I completely understand the importance of savings.

There are many sellers in the market that offer baby formula milk, but as a mother deeply concerned about my child’s safety, I always make sure to purchase from a trusted store with a solid reputation.

Let me share with you how the Suki Card became a game-changer and why Mercury Drug impressed me as both a consumer and a mother.

Mercury Drug and the rise of the Suki Card era

The Suki Card is a loyalty and rewards card that can be used at any Mercury Drug store nationwide. With every $4 spent, you earn points that can later be redeemed for future purchases.

Mercury Drug was originally known for selling medicines and health essentials (e.g., syringes, cotton, bandages, etc.) and began operations back in 1945. It was the go-to pharmacy, especially for hard-to-find medications.

In 2005, they expanded their product offerings, introducing cosmetics, quality skincare products, and baby essentials such as formula milk, diapers, and baby shampoo.

They introduced the Suki card in 2000. The program has been a massive success, as it not only increases customer loyalty, but also encourages them to recommend Mercury Drug to their friends and family. Just about every mom has this card.

What sets the Suki Card apart: exclusive benefits & rewards

I remember watching a TV segment back in high school where a well-known actress in the Philippines raved about nivea lipstick gloss in cherry shade. At the time, online shopping platforms like shopee, lazada, and tiktok shop didn’t exist, making it difficult to find specific brands.

I stumbled upon a Mercury Drug store near my school, and to my surprise, they had the exact lipstick I had been searching for! From that moment on, Mercury Drug became my go-to store for skincare and makeup. It was incredibly convenient because whenever I ran out of products, I could simply visit a nearby store rather than waiting 3–5 days for delivery.

For years, the cashiers would offer me a Suki Card, but I always declined, thinking it wouldn’t really benefit me. That changed when I became a mom. Buying tons of diapers, formula milk, and baby vitamins made me reconsider. My husband finally convinced me to sign up for a Suki Card, and I used it regularly. He explained to me the benefits I was missing out on – especially since I was spending a lot more money.

Not long after I joined while checking out, the cashier informed me that my accumulated points were enough to fully cover my baby’s formula milk—an $85 value! I was amazed and surprised. It was a huge relief because baby milk isn’t cheap, and getting it for free was an unexpected blessing.

That moment made me understand why so many consumers swear by the Suki Card and never shop without it.

Suki Card will surely change your lifestyle

Suki Card isn’t just for moms or skincare enthusiasts like me, it’s for anyone who wants to maximize their spending and earn rewards.

With every $4 spent, you earn points that never expire (as long as you make a purchase within 180 days), allowing you to accumulate and redeem them at any time. Unlike other rewards programs, the Suki Card has no cap on earnings and no limit on usage, no membership fee and no card expiration making it one of the most rewarding loyalty programs available.

The Suki Card is really simple:

• Suki points every time you purchase at Mercury Drug (every $4 purchase will earn 1 Suki point).
• Special discounts on participating products in promotional offers.
• Suki extra points on selected products offered at the store from time to time.
• Other Suki promotional offers.

There are also a couple of ways to redeem:

• You can use earned points as rebate in your next purchase.
• Or to redeem on promo items like Suki daybook, Mercury Drug coin purse, Mercury Drug ball pen, Mercury Drug umbrella and other Mercury Drug exclusive items offered from time to time.

Conclusion

Using a Suki Card is like setting aside savings from every purchase, making it a smart choice for every savvy shopper. I can also easily track my points by either sending a Suki points query online, checking in-store at the  Suki card scanner or with the cashier at any Mercury Drug store.

All you have to do is become a Suki—a loyal Mercury Drug customer—and enjoy the benefits. I know I will continue to use it!
