At first I wanna spent 2-3K, but later my card kept getting blocked which proved to be annoying.

Since one can only win one prize throughout which means I no longer have to spam pbb anymore. No need use it for petrol anymore.

Sigh...

I won this PBB PB too. But I'm curious why did they (marketing company) send me the PB so fast.

did you noticed the PBB SPay win note 8 campaign, is supposed to last till 30 April 2018?

and one of the TNC says only 1 prize for each customer for entire campaign (either grand or monthly) .

does that mean they are announcing/"disqualifying" most of the eligible customers?

something hanky panky going on?

From what I read and understood is that the top spender of the month will get the Note 8, and the next 100 will get the battery pack. So in other words, there should be 3 units of Note 8 given out for the entire campaign from 29 January to 30 April. The one that they have just given out is for the 29 January to 28 February month. Since we have gotten the gift for the first month, we won't be able to get any gifts for the next 2 months.

Yes that's what I understood and agree with what you said except the last line.

Campaign runs from 29 January to 30 April 2018. Shouldn't they wait until at least 1 May to tally up the results and award the phone/PB accordingly?

e.g. i spend 500/1000/600, then i'd probably win a PB for month 2 etc.

BUT

e.g. if I spend 1K for 1st month, 5K 2nd month, and 20K 3rd month and if the top spenders are around 10K, then we should be able to win the Note 8 on 3rd month.

instead of just a power bank on 1st month, and 'disqualified' for month 2 & 3 due to T&C stating cardmember entitled to only 1 campaign gift.


if we follow the above example, marketing company insiders have just removed all the potentially top spenders on 1st month itself and leave themselves with 2 easy Note 8.

Ooh.....Now I get what you meant. Guess that's just not the way they run it. But they still get our spending for 2 months already since we didn't know the results for first month until end of 2nd month. So those who won for the 1st month will hold back now for the 3rd month.

Exactly. This marketing company which already contains information on how much spending the top earner did, just needs to have their insiders spend much less than the top earner did for 1st month as the 'big guns' have already been 'disqualified' and they don't need to match it. Usually the big S-pay spenders are the more up-to-date guys.

another way to look at it is to give chance for people who are late to join, i.e. new card members or any person who saw this campaign and got motivated to sign up in time to join the 2nd or 3rd month.

the onus is on the participants to follow and play around the rules to benefit.

for example, if you expenct you will be spending more on the 2nd month then don't do any transaction on spay one the first month, just use the physical card.

that's my opinion though.

if they tally the results on 1st May, it doesn't matter if they join 2nd month or 3rd month, their spending on month 2 & 3 will still be considered for top 1 & top 100 for each respective month. e.g. person A spent 0,500,10000 and person B spent 10000,10000,10000 - person A will still win on month 3 and person B month 1.

if they tally the results so early like they actually did, there is a lot of room for dishonest activity. month 1 top spender = 10k next 100 all above 2k. month 2, top spender only needs to be around 2.5k for example.

it doesn't make sense to encourage cardmembers like person B to STOP SPENDING.

no matter what, the rules and T&C are always in favor of company organizing contents. just stating the possibility of them being very dishonest and this sucks.

The Note 8 contest is from today until 15 May. So maximum number of transactions will be 100, 50 from this month and 50 for May. That is if a person has not done any transactions this month. So for those who have already made some transactions this month, then chances will be lower. I think it's meant to get those who don't use spay much to use more now. First 5 will get Note 8, and the next 50 to get battery pack.
*
nah, 50 count is just the limit for spay points. you can swipe 100 if you want to, just without points for the next 50.

IMO they are organizing this contest to check and see if anyone utilizing loophole or strange methods to get very high transaction count.

5 Galaxy Notes is a small price to pay for us testing their system.
