My first experience with HG on the $$ withdrawal (after I sold my gold), about RM100. Taking about 1 business day in my CASA (included bank statement approval).

I hv not try the way you mentioned above (changing mind of gold buying) since I'm aware no withdrawal before I join HG. It has slightly advantage over Boost withdrawal.

I've no doubt to use this service at my convenience level.

It seems I was only able to add cash RM30 for 5 times from Boost this morning. 
The same error message occurred two days ago, when I did 5 times of Add-Cash (RM30 thrice, RM500 twice).

So I'm curious whether HelloGold set a frequency of Add-Cash transfer from Boost?
*
Yes. I read someone (from HG I presumed) informed on the policy changed in Boost thread.

Thanks so much! Yep that's what I noticed too. I was just thinking to slowly topup RM30 for 50 times to get RM1 cashback from Boost, until RM1.5k Boost wallet limit. It is going to take 10 days then 😅

rclxms.gif rclxms.gif what a gr8 strategy. I never thought of this even I do this once a day with amount varies.
I'm doubt your Boost only use for this? Lots of attractive spending going on with Boost at this moment.

Hello all. You may face some technical difficulties while trying to 'Add Cash' or 'Buy Gold' via Boost wallet due to an unexpected error with Boost's server.

FYI ya? wink.gif

Noted. I skip HG access yday. This morning working fine. Tq.

I've managed to topup 5 times everyday for the past few days, but today I only managed to topup 3 times before the error message appeared. Hmmm 🤔

For Boost, I only use to earn coins via RM100 topup, and to transfer to HG to buy gold. I do buy gold via Hello Gold, and have been doing so for the past 6 months.

Only this past one week I noticed I can withdraw cash easily via HG for free.

HG charges is lower compare to Boost Shake Reward you gained, so it's good return from this perspective.
HG cash withdrawal is hassle free as I did few one since last one. Good experience so far. I didn't actively buy gold but I committed to Smart Saver monthly for 12 months programme.

Opened new account tested some withdrawal and very satisfied with the speed of transfer.

I've read the thread from the beginning, seeing posts regarding withdrawal time ranging from 2 days to more than a week and would like to test it out myself before deciding whether to be in for the long term.

1. Small amount (first time - chap fan amount)
Before 10AM - Submitted bank account for withdrawal and bank statement photo. Bank account verified around half hour later.
8PM - Money in Maybank (time of checking around 8PM, might be earlier between 6PM-8PM)

2. Bigger amount (a little under 5 digit)
Before 10AM - Submitted withdrawal
7:30PM - Money in Maybank (again time of checking, might be earlier between 6PM-7:30PM)

For now I shall mark my HG portion liquidation time as  <T+3.
*
Perhaps the volume of cash out is low. But the speed is awesome!
Thank you for your sharing.

I believe HG is return back to normal now.

I face similar issue with internet connection. The gold price is not appearing when I launch the apps.

My other apps is functioning well as I validated my connection. They should re-phrase the error message which is misleading.

It's not our internet connection issue, it's their server unreachable/unsuccessful connected.

What was the rate when you bought? With all the fees and charges, still can make a handsome profit?
*
As I rmbr, I bought it at RM185+, not really expecting making handsome profit using HG.
That time I was into a HelloGold contest with Boost (buy/add gold using Boost).

QUOTE(rojakwhacker @ Aug 7 2019, 10:36 AM)
For me, i am holding it.
For smartsaver plan, are you currently engaging in the zero administrator fee promotion? Pick RM120 (this is valid right?) or the RM150?
No. You can redeem physical gold with delivery fee and insurance fee (cost must be high - can read back post).
*
RM150 to get zero admin fees promo.
Existing smart saver plan I engaged been cancelled and sold off.

Thank you for the info, was planning to get one (RM120) on this friday (due to travelling in one of the month and only have up to 7 days to make payment before due date). Start smart saver plan any day, and starting date on weekend have no extra charge right? hmm.gif

Activating SmartSaver either on weekday/weekend doesn't involve in buying, hence no extra fees involved.

They only executing the buying process during weekday at the best price of the day.

Good feature getting removed. From unlimited add cash, bring down to only 5 times per day and now ZERO!

My opinion will shoos away a lot of HG users. HG may see lost opportunity to earn small fees from 'Add Cash' (since no charge) & subsequently withdrawn (also no charge). Conveniences and benefits slowly cutting down. Resulting the losing end from users.

Hard to bid goodbye but definitely less active with this apps and any exciting competitor in future, we may not hesitate to switch without second thought.

I think a better alternative for HelloGold is to introduce withdrawal fee like Boost, and if it's not practical, to only impose withdrawal fee for "top up then withdraw" kind of transactions.

By removing entirely the 'Add Cash' feature, HelloGold will see certain drop in the number of user and of course usage. As some have mentioned, some people will like to reload now but only buy gold at an opportune time, not now.
*
If HG is afford to lose local user & usage (since they went internationally), definitely not into much impact on their operations.

I agree on the small fees to make win-win situation. Without 'Add Cash' means you won't probably able to buy in bigger amount than Boost is limiting us

Now wallet $$ only can store money from the SOLD gold. yawn.gif

Boost user (Level 4) give 2x coins. 100 coins for RM50 gold purchase. Shake reward (random) give extra 100 coins.. so total 200.

I got 200 coins from Boost for RM50 purchase of gold on 11.11 day.
Hardly buy nowadays unless promo from HG.
