EcoCash Promotion Points Explained: How to Win Your Share of Prizes

EcoCash is back with its seventh Chakachaya/Ziyawa neEcoCash promotion, and with over 200,000 prizes up for grabs, understanding the points system is key to winning. Running from June 19 to August 28, 2025, the campaign is designed to reward every type of user, from the occasional transactor to the power user. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how the points system works and what you can win.

Earning Your Points

The foundation of the promotion is simple: use EcoCash, earn points.

• Standard Earning: For every US$1 (or its ZIG equivalent) you transact using EcoCash, you receive 1 point.
• The App Advantage (Double Points): To encourage digital adoption, EcoCash is offering double points for all transactions made through the EcoCash mobile app. This means a US$1 transaction on the app earns you 2 points, effectively halving the spending required to reach prize tiers.

This strategic incentive benefits both the user, who can accumulate points faster, and EcoCash, as app-based transactions are more efficient than traditional USSD sessions.

The Tiered Reward System: What Your Points Get You

The promotion is built around a tiered reward system, ensuring that the more you transact, the bigger the prizes you can win.

• Tier 1: The Weekly Draw (20-49 Points) Customers who accumulate at least 20 points within a single week qualify for the weekly draws. Prizes in this entry-level tier include airtime and instant cash rewards. This tier is designed to reward consistent, everyday use of the platform.

• Tier 2: Grocery and Household Goods (50-99 Points) By accumulating between 50 and 99 points, you become eligible to win more substantial household items. Prizes in this category include grocery vouchers and gas stoves, offering practical value to winners.

• Tier 3: The Grand Prize Draw (100+ Points) Reaching 100 points or more over the promotion period grants you entry into the grand prize draw. The rewards at this level take a significant leap in value and include modern tech and valuable assets like smartphones, deep freezers, motorbikes, and even cows for those looking to invest in livestock.

• Top Tier: The Ultimate Prizes (500+ Points) For the most active users, accumulating 500 points or more unlocks eligibility for the top-tier prizes. These are the life-changing rewards headlining the promotion: a luxurious holiday to Dubai, a full solar power system, and an all-expenses-paid trip to the 2025 AFCON games in Morocco.
