that's assuming you only have 1 number with Boost

I think it's not worth it even at 50+%

Yup. I do this. Make sure you tell the waiter that you would like to pay separately before ordering.

How does it work ? Need to scan something ? Need to provide them phone number ?
We can split 50-50 yo

Tips for using Boost for the 50% cash back
1. Before you even sit down, ask the waiter if Boost is accepted. Sometimes even though there's a sticker at the door that says "Boost accepted", they may still not accept it for a multitude of reasons , like "system down/offline"
2. Know what you're ordering, and ask to pay as soon as you have ordered. That way if something goes wrong (for example connection issues with the machine) then you can still cancel the order. The machine requires internet connection to function.

It's that simple.

sometimes it's not that they don't accept, just that maybe got system error , connection error etc
better check in advance

I got before, very low value
for example paying RM2.XX on 11street

maybe he somehow spends a very low amount consistently ?
Edit : I think this guy is using the bill payment to pay very low amounts, look at the time

transfer out before they deduct yo ....

Guys other than KK Mart, where can I buy ciggies with boost and get the 50% ?
Anything more after the expanded list of 50% merchants ?

Not all shake rewards are equal. Shake reward is very low for bill payments, might as well use Credit Card for cash back
But if you insist, and to answer your question, there is no minimum, but the amount of cashback depends on the amount you pay, you might even get a shake reward that says "try again" - like someone in an earlier post, paying Rm1 at a time

Experience at a certain store
Ask if Boost accepted - they first said no, even though there are a few Boost stickers located throughout the store
When I ask why they say they are not ready, Boost has a separate machine bla bla bla
I have to press them to ask their manager, only then did the manager bother to come out to teach the staff how to use

I really hate this type of mentality. The idea is just say no is safer, because if you make a mistake , you might have to tanggung. They are also not willing to learn and adapt. This is one of the reasons why e-payment is not as prevalent here, despite most people holding at least one contactless-enabled cards

Anyone received 50% cash back from yesterday ?

some cards have cash back specifically for utilities
if you load into boost most likely it'll only be considered as normal transactions

I face another problem : missing cashbacks
I went to a few merchants yesterday , received the 50% on all except MBO

That is a different promo right ? That is 2x RM5 voucher for at least RM20 spent and paid with boost
This is 50% cashback capped at RM10 per transaction max 3 cashbacks.
I saw MBO added to the 50% cashback merchant list

Then I am fucked. I spent 11+ on a milkshake thinking I was going to get the 50%
WTF that's the most expensive drink I have ever had....

But I still see Nando's on their website ?

CS confirmed to me that there's no 50% cash back for MBO, despite MBO being listed there. They say that the "cash" is in the form of vouchers to be credited into your account. I scold them and said that they should not have listed MBO under the 50% cashback list because this should be considered a separate promotion and voucher is not "cash". Feel so cheated.

I think they made a mistake by listing MBO there. They didn't list KK Mart there because they acknowledge that the promotion is different is nature, because the KK Mart promo is RM10 cash back for min RM20 purchase, less than RM20 you get nothing, but other merchants you still get 50% for transactions less than RM20
MBO is even more different, not only is there is a minimum spend, the "cash back" is also not cash , it's vouchers. Putting MBO in their list of participating merchants is incredibly misleading
