Every Chinese New Year season, brands find their own creative ways to celebrate prosperity, good fortune and fresh beginnings. Some roll out festive beverages, others launch limited-edition merchandise. This year, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Malaysia has chosen to charm coffee lovers with something that feels both nostalgic and collectible – their Week 3 Lion Dance Pin and an exclusive Golden Fan Pin.
Starting from 17 February 2026 onwards, customers can bring home these limited-edition Chinese New Year pins with a minimum spend of RM45 in a single receipt. For those who love small keepsakes that mark a particular festive season, this is one of those simple yet meaningful promotions that is worth paying attention to.
Let’s talk about why this deal is more than just a pin redemption.
A Celebration of Joy and Prosperity
Chinese New Year is about symbolism. The lion dance represents courage and good fortune, while the golden fan signifies prosperity and elegance. By introducing both the Lion Dance Pin and the Golden Fan Pin, they are tapping into these cultural meanings in a subtle, collectible way.
The Lion Dance Pin is available with a minimum spend of RM45 in a single receipt, applicable for walk-in purchases and MyCBTL app orders. If customers are already planning a coffee catch-up session, a study meet-up, or even a casual afternoon tea, hitting RM45 is not particularly difficult. A couple of handcrafted beverages, perhaps a slice of cake, and they are already close to qualifying.
For MyCBTL members, there is an added perk. The Golden Fan Pin is exclusive to them. With the same RM45 minimum spend in a single receipt, a redeemable in-store voucher will be issued via the MyCBTL app. Customers simply present the voucher over the counter to collect their Golden Fan Pin. It feels a little more special because it is not just available to everyone walking in; it is reserved for members who are part of their loyalty ecosystem.
Why This Is Worth Considering
Some might say, “It’s just a pin.” But for many loyal customers of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, it is about the experience and the journey.
Firstly, it encourages customers to turn their everyday coffee routine into something slightly more exciting. Instead of just grabbing a latte and leaving, they are participating in a limited-time festive campaign. It adds a layer of anticipation.
Secondly, these pins are available in limited quantities. That alone changes the mindset. When something is limited, it becomes more meaningful. It becomes something to collect rather than something to overlook. For those who have been following their Chinese New Year pin series, this Week 3 release continues the journey.
Thirdly, it is a practical way to maximise spending that might already happen. If someone typically spends RM20 to RM30 per visit, they might consider bringing a friend along, adding a pastry, or trying a new seasonal beverage to reach the RM45 threshold. Instead of random spending elsewhere, they are turning it into a tangible festive keepsake.
Perfect for Coffee Dates and Small Celebrations
Seventeen February falls right in the festive period when families and friends are still making their rounds of visits. Meeting at a café is often more convenient than hosting at home. The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf outlets nationwide provide comfortable seating, air-conditioned spaces, and a familiar menu that appeals to different age groups.
A family of two or three can easily cross RM45 in a single receipt. Two beverages and a cake to share would likely qualify. Students revising for exams, colleagues taking a break from work, or friends catching up after a long time can use this promotion as a reason to gather.
Rather than simply spending, they are spending with purpose.
MyCBTL Members Get That Extra Touch
The Golden Fan Pin being exclusive to MyCBTL members adds a gentle nudge for customers who have not yet signed up. Membership often comes with additional benefits such as points accumulation and member-exclusive offers. In this case, it also unlocks access to the Golden Fan Pin.
The process is straightforward. Spend a minimum of RM45 in a single receipt. The MyCBTL app will issue a redeemable in-store voucher. Present it at the counter and collect the pin. Simple, but effective.
It is a good reminder that loyalty apps are not just about collecting points. Sometimes they offer limited-edition merchandise that non-members cannot access. If customers frequently visit The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, signing up may bring added value beyond this promotion.
Limited Quantities Mean Act Fast
As with most festive collectibles, stocks are limited. They have clearly stated that quantities are limited, which means once they are gone, they are gone.
Those who genuinely want to add the Lion Dance Pin or Golden Fan Pin to their collection should not wait until the very end of the festive season. Visiting earlier increases the chances of securing the desired design.
It is also worth checking with the nearest outlet before making a special trip, especially if travelling from a distance. Outlets nationwide are participating, but availability may vary depending on demand.
Turning a Simple Coffee Run into a Festive Moment
Sometimes the best promotions are not about huge discounts. They are about creating a sense of participation.
For RM45, customers are not just getting coffee and food. They are receiving a small token that symbolises prosperity and celebration. In a season centred around good fortune and joy, it fits perfectly.
Instead of rushing through daily routines, they can slow down. Sit in the café. Enjoy a warm drink. Take photos with friends. Share the festive spirit. Collect the pin as a memory of Chinese New Year 2026.
That is the charm of this campaign.
