Approval is not really an issue but the delivery can be quite slow. Give all for a month I guess.
I opted for branch collection and my officer in branch helped me to follow up on the application and all, I got mine in 3 weeks or slightly lesser.

Ic... I am taking advantage of the current promo... 10% CB with spending within 30 days from APPROVAL date.
Transaction expected on 1-4 Oct.
So I need to make sure the APPROVAL date is not any date earlier than 4 Oct.

Anyone still keep the website link or T&Cs related to new credit card get 10% CB promo?
I remember the promo is until end Sep/Oct 2016 timeframe.

Check again recently, but Ambank website no longer publish this promo.

Go to the entertainer site, and it will show you all the merchants in the full app. Really worth it for me because it's all near my workplace and home. I can't list everything because there are tonnes.

The 2016 promotion of RM75 (for subscription for both 2016 and 2017) was good. My colleagues all regretting not buying it earlier - eat 3 times at Tonkatsu can more than cover cost already. Or do a B1F1 spa or facial.

For dining, if few diners, can redeem multiple B1F1 by using the same apps & same card?
I know the T&Cs said can, but the same app voucher can click redeem one after another? Or u r using a combination of paper voucher + different apps + different cards?

TQ

Can redeem one after another. I ate in a party of 6 last week, redeemed 3 vouchers on the app one shot. Used one card to pay. Beware though, they will charge for the 3 most expensive meals (even if you order 3 "pairs", you will be charged for 3 most expensive - can't split into each pair).

Today I used 2 vouchers for 4 diners at Tonkatsu.

Great... tq rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

T&Cs said can redeem max 4 b1f1, however, taking Tonkatsu as example, there are only 3 redemption icons per single location.
Meaning if I dine with 8 persons at the same time, i will need to click 3 separate icons, then on the 4th b1f1, I click either one of the 3 icons again... any idea?

For those merchants that you have redeemed, is the app voucher re-activated again for next visit redemption? Or just applicable for 1 visit?
(I mean the Ambank apps, not the fully paid one)

For Ambank you only get 3 B1F1 vouchers per account (meaning, max number of diners for each account is 6 i.e. 3 vouchers x 2 diners). My husband and I each have an account, so we have 6 vouchers between us. However, the T&C says we can only use 4 vouchers per redemption. In practice, if we were to have 8 diners, we would have to do this:
- Redeem 3 vouchers using my app
- Redeem 1 voucher using my husband's app

Once a voucher has been redeemed, it is GONE FOREVER (i.e. you cannot use the whole year). So if you only have 1 account, and 8 diners, you would only get B1F1 for 6 diners. The other 2 diners will not enjoy B1F1.

For the Full App, you also get only 3 vouchers per merchant. However, you can earn "SMILES" (basically a form of loyalty points), which allows you to "buy" additional vouchers. There are also monthly offers which give additional vouchers.

I have the paid app (paid only 75 for 2016, 2017 and Cheers 2017!!!) and love it.

Very easy to "re-buy" new vouchers with the Smile points. For example, every time you dine and then "share" on  Facebook or Twitter, you get 200 points (for each Facebook or Twitter share). So that's 400 points plus the points you get from dining.

It only requires 1000 points to "re-buy" a new voucher.

I've already got 9000 points since 1 January. I love it.

How do you usually deal with merchant keying passcode?
Don't feel good to have them taking my phone to key in nor even have them type the code even though I m holding my phone.

The paid app is VERY VERY different. Why not you install it and run the free trial so you can see if you will use it? Free trial allows you to redeem a B1F1 at one merchant. Check it out.

For me, I've used Entertainer paid app 6 times already, and "saved" RM500+. See attached screenshot. As I only paid RM75 for the app in 2016 (had year end offer), it's very very worth it.

Search this thread for my previous posts about the app and how you can use the Smiles points to rebuy used vouchers.

As I just had a baby in Jan, I couldn't go out and eat much. However, will start using more once my maternity leave is over.

I was thinking to use the AMB B1F1 during CNY and found out dining merchant can decide on their own the black-out period during CNY period.
This is in addition to that the B1FI will not be eligible during certain public holidays & the eve.

Does you paid Entertainer has this black-out period too?
