How to redeem your free Secretlab chair from MyRepublic

This is my brief guide on how to redeem your free Secretlab chair from MyRepublic via their broadband plan. This is from my personal experience signing up for the plan and redeeming a Secretlab Tital Evo 2022 chair myself. 

How to redeem your free Secretlab chair from MyRepublic

Step 1. Sign up for MyRepublic plan with Secretlab gaming chair

Sign up for an appropriate broadband plan with MyRepublic which offers the Secretlab chair as a sign up bonus promotion (premium) item.

I signed up for the "Secretlab TITAN Evo 2022 1Gbps Broadband" plan with MyRepublic.

Secretlab TITAN Evo 2022 1Gbps Broadband

https://myrepublic.net/sg/secretlab-titan-evo-2022-gamer-1gbps-broadband/

You may see that it is $69.99 SGD per month which is the Gamer plan version, however, if you click around their website you can actually get it at a Normal plan available as well which is priced at $64.99 which is I believe is better value. 

So depends if you want the Gamer plan or the Normal plan.



 
If you access the Normal plan via the following steps, you should be able to get the $64.99 price.
 
Go to:
  1. Go to https://myrepublic.net/sg/broadband-promotions
  2. Click on the "Broadband with Lifestyle Products" tab
  3. Scroll and you should find "Secretlab TITAN Evo 2022 1Gbps Broadband" plan. Then click "Get this plan" and sign up from there.
 Here are some screenshots for you:

 
In case it is helpful, here is the current direct link for $64.99 on the Secretlab TITAN Evo 2022 1Gbps Broadband page (https://secure.myrepublic.com.sg/order2/?offeringId=2233-2232-2236).
 
(Optional) My referrer ID for MyRepublic is C1192036, so if you are new to MyRepublic and do not mind using that code when you sign up please feel free to. Especially if you're looking to thank me for writing this piece, please feel free to use it if you'd like. 

Step 2. Wait for email from MyRepublic for redemption

This may take you to two working weeks. Mine arrived in about 3-4 business working days so it can vary.
 

Step 3. Receive email from MyRepublic for Secretlab chair redemption

Receive email from MyRepublic for Secretlab chair redemption. Please do take note of redeem code to use on Secret Lab's Shopify-hosted website - secretlab.sg. The email may be titled something like the following:

Email subject: "Your Secretlab TITAN Evo (2022) Gaming Chair is ready for redemption!"
 
Dear MyRepublic Subscriber,

Thank you for signing up with us! We are happy to inform you that your Secretlab TITAN Evo 2022 Gaming Chair is ready for redemption.

To redeem, please click on the Secretlab webpage link and input redemption code <REDEEMCODE>.
 

Step 4. Go to Secretlab webpage for your Secretlab chair

My Secretlab chair was a Titan Evo 2022 Series chair. 
So I am directed to this page: https://secretlab.sg/products/titan-evo-2022-series
 
Please note that the Secretlab gaming chair available on offer will vary for you, depending on the current promotion on MyRepublic's website involving Secretlab gaming chairs. 


Step 5. Customise your Secretlab gaming chair accordingly

You will be presented with options to customise your Secretlab gaming chair accordingly. 
 
Please do note that the following:
  • Size, colour, address and date of delivery can be selected - You can select the colour, address and date of delivery of your Secretlab TITAN Evo 2022 Gaming Chair via the given link. Chair colours are subject to stock availability. 
  • MyRepublic says that NAPA Leather, Special Edition variants, XL size are not redeemable* - NAPA Leather and Special Edition variants are not applicable. XL size is also not included.
  • Delivery will be free - Flat packed delivery will be free (U.P. $20). 
  • Assembly cost is not included - Assembly of TITAN Evo 2022 Gaming Chair by Secretlab technician (optional), will be an additional $29 (U.P. $49). That is, please note that assembly cost is not included. 
    • You will have to either assemble the Secretlab chair yourself or 
    • Pay $29 SGD to Secretlab for their assembly service.
So you are able to choose the:
  • Size of your chair: Small or Regular (MyRepublic says XL not available with this redemption)
  • Upholstery type: Leatherette or Softweave, and 
  • Colour

Size of chair

Small or Regular (MyRepublic says XL not available with this redemption)


Upholstery type and Colour

Leatherette


Softweave


*You may try your luck and see if you can choose the other options which MyRepublic says that do not include and simply top up the difference for other selections and/or accesstories. As I can see during the purchase process that their voucher code simply offers $649 SGD off the chair, so it may not discriminate on the options selected, as long as you pay for the difference.
 

Step 6. Make your purchase when you're ready

Make your purchase when you're happy with your choices on size, colour and upholstery type. 
 
Click "Add to cart" when you're ready.
 
You will get a confirmation page that says something like this. "Added to cart!"

 Follow the prompts on your "Shopping Cart" and checkout to make your purchase.

Optionally, adding assembly ($29 SGD) looks something like this.



Then select your delivery type (Standard = free) and delivery date.
Pay for your chair when you are ready. This is also where you will use your MyRepublic provided redeem voucher code (sent in an email provided by MyRepublic).



Order confirmed
You will receive a order confirmed page when ready. 



Step 7. Wait for your chair to arrive and get assembled

Wait for your chair to arrive at your scheduled delivery time. Assemble it when you are ready.
 

Optional - Post on social media for extra 2 years warranty extension

You may get offered by Secretlab an option to extend your warranty if you would like to post your experiences on social media. As a reward for doing so, they will offer you 2 years free warranty extension.  https://secretlab.sg/pages/redeem
