I was just updating my grabpay and inserted my credit card details into grab pay. suddenly after finish entering details i receive sms saying RM1 being charge into my card.

my question is why i was being charged for it? i already lodged a report to grab and received an email asking me to screenshot the transaction and they have escalated to the related department. Waiting for their response.

Anyone else have kena same issue?

first time use cc? many apps charge to test if the card can be use or not and will be refunded later

not first time. but this is a first time an app charge so suddenly. last time i remember paypal yes have charge to test. but that one i don't mind coz it stated that they will charge to test. i never thought grab would charge since uber doesn't. and what i don't like coz no notification saying they will charge to test my cc (unless there is and i miss it)

paypal charges rm10

i think i was charged more than $10. lol
but it's okay coz they notifed first and return it back

It will be refunded la. Why so scare

normal la.. to test.. will be refund.. if dont want to be charge on it.. then no need to use the app ..simple

Grab technology is stupid, so have to test first.

have to test larr. else, how would they know for certain whether your card is really funded or just a scam.

They will refund back

powerbarr dear TS, very normal, even if you open a Paypal account or using Uber, same charges to apply - this is to make sure that your card is chargeable and active, once once you have using their service your BIG RM1 will return back to you.

normally these "test" charge are only reservation. just like they reserve RM500 when you check-in to RM150 hotels, or reserve RM200 when you swipe at the pump when all you wanted is RM50 of fuel.

it's not actual charge yet, and the balance reserved amount gets released back to you after a while if actual charge is not effected, or if partly effected. you'll get the effect of "refunded" when in actuality, money figure didn't really changed hands.

but paypal didn't reserve that RM10, but straightaway effect an actual charge into their hands. if you don't claim back, ....

Rilek la ts. Jangan kelam kabut sangat.

Steam RM4 LEL

rm1 also kecoh

PayPal as well, nothing be too serious

Wah issit?

okay okay. It's just 1 ringgit. it's not about the amount. it's about no notification given. i used paypal too and didn't make noise cause they tell you about charging your card to test the card. grab didn't. and i haven't encounter others except for paypal.

thanks all
