App Bundle Freebies (GoSHARE&SHOP, GoWATCH&PLAY, etc.)

Beyond the specific app keywords, GoSURF promos also offer broader "App Bundles." These bundles group multiple apps under a single redemption code. The availability of these bundles depends on the specific GoSURF denomination being used.

GoSHARE&SHOP

This bundle provides access to social media and online shopping websites, including Twitter/X, TikTok, Lazada, Shopee, and Zalora. To redeem, text GS SNS to 8080 (e.g., GS50 SNS for GoSURF50).

GoWATCH&PLAY

This bundle allows access to video streaming and online gaming apps. Supported apps include YouTube, Netflix, iflix, HBO GO, NBA, Viu, V Live, ONE, Mobile Legends, Marvel Super War, Arena of Valor, Clash of Clans, Rules of Survival, Free Fire, PUBG, and Call of Duty Mobile. To redeem, text GS WNP to 8080 (e.g., GS299 WNP for GoSURF299).

GoLISTEN&TRAVEL

This bundle is for music and travel apps, including YouTube Music, Spotify, WeSing, Grab, Google Maps, and Waze. To redeem, text GS LNT to 8080 (e.g., GS599 LNT for GoSURF599).

GoLEARN&WORK

Once an app bundle is selected and the corresponding keyword is texted, the user receives a confirmation message. The validity of the data freebie matches the validity period of the main promo.

Important Considerations

Freebie Expiration: The expiration date of a freebie depends on when it is claimed relative to the promo registration. If a freebie is claimed one day after registering the promo, it will expire one day after the promo ends. A new freebie cannot be claimed until the previous one has expired, even if the user re-registers the promo.
Unverified Codes: Some source material includes codes for bundles (e.g., GS2499 SS, GS2499 WP, GS2499 LD) but explicitly warns that these codes have not been tested in actual promo registration and may not work. Users should rely on the officially confirmed keywords and syntax provided by Globe.
Syntax Variations: The syntax for redeeming freebies generally follows the pattern GS or EZ depending on the specific promo variant (GoSURF vs. Easysurf).

Conclusion

GoSURF50 offers a structured data package with specific allowances for general use, daily social media access, and a customizable app freebie. The redemption process is managed via SMS keywords, allowing users to select from a range of video streaming, gaming, social media, and communication apps. For users with different data needs or validity preferences, Globe offers several other GoSURF variants and app bundle options. Subscribers are advised to manage their subscriptions carefully, as stopping the promo forfeits unused data, and freebie validity is tied to the promo period.
