No problem so far. I just buy cigarettes from KK. RM24 then RM2 shake reward and next day RM10 cashback. Not bad.

Yes, I believe it's 5 bucks and 3 for me. Shall I PM you?

Yep, that's the one.

So far only tried reloading to Digi and Celcom, no problems encountered yet.

Just a quick note to say that Boost works just fine on basic internet ie: 64kbps mobile data. (I was using DiGi prepaid)

App startup is slow so have it up and running and logged in first. Once it is running, pressing "Scan Me" to pay takes just a few seconds longer than if you're on a proper data plan.

Which promo is this? First time I heard of this. Got screenshot or link?

CoffeeDude
Not bad, I did not get that offer.

Maybe to counter TouchnGp app's topup RM5 cashback RM4 promo.

CoffeeDude Just found out that my son got a similar offer as yours but his is topup RM5 cashback RM5. It came via email on Jul 19.



And my daughter too. Maybe because they don't use their Boost app much?

KKMart confirmed. spend RM20, next day cashback RM10. Max 3 times.

The others, dunno.

Also got 11Street spend RM50, cashback RM10, max 2 times.

I checked their in-app Inbox. Nothing about this promo there. Have reloaded RM5 yesterday. Later check for cashback.

The cashback sometimes very fast come, sometimes slow. So far I've received it at different times the next day: 10am, 12pm, 2pm, 8pm, 11pm, got one came more than 24hrs, around 2am the next next day.

Just to clarify, KKMart's promo (>RM20, cashback RM10, max 3 per user) is different from the other one which is no min spend, 50% cashback, Max RM10, max 3 per merchant.

Other than the referral RM5 (Referral Bonus in history), there's also topup prepaid RM5 and get RM5 cashback. Dunno of any others that's exactly RM5.

Did you use Boost for the retail 50% cashback? But those are itemised as "50% Cashback" in history.

For me it’s ok cause all I buy from KK are cigarettes. Same price everywhere.

Maybe exclusive promo for selected users. Both my kids received emails but nothing in-app for a prepaid topup RM5, cashback RM5 promo, essentially free RM5 topup lah. I didn’t get that email.

TnG app had a similar promo, topup 5 cashback 4. They also have a wallet topup 10, cashback 5.

No shakes for topping up the wallet.

Paying Nandos should have given you one. Check your Profile tab and see if there’re any unclaimed Shake rewards there. If not, just contact support and they’ll sort it out in no time.

You don't have to key-in the amount when the merchant scans your Boost. Which is also the scary part. What if the amount is off by a decimal point against your favour? Always check the POS screen!

I suspect larger shops with higher volume will opt for this method as it's the fastest and cuts down on errors on the users' part by not having us key-in the amount.

There's a 3rd method where we pay by scanning a code encoded with the amount and merchant. We then verify that on our phones and key-in our PIN to approve the transaction. So far only 11street uses that.

Yep, Shake Rewards is the mainstay feature of Boost.

Tealive Mahkota Cheras works for the 50% cashback. Paid RM1.45, got 73sens back.

The only 2 left on my phone. Razer Pay still there but will probably be gone after I finish the remaining RM30 bonus credits. Only use it for buying reloads anyways.

11Street is bit different. Scan first, see amount then PIN to pay.

So far I've encountered:
1. Scan, Enter Amount, PIN (llaollao, pasar malam, waffle stall in Sg Long, your friend's QRCode)
2. PIN, Be Scanned (KK: Amount on POS)
3. Scan, Amount Displayed, PIN (11street)
