Exactly. Just that you need to snap photo of your IC and your selfie in order to upgrade.
Not everyone is comfortable with that.

First used under referral, yes.

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.

Boost cs be like "Ek eleh...dah bagi duit percuma masih nak tanya banyak2".

Just transfer our cashback to tabung Harapan. Save ur hassle

i just tested boost pay yesterday.
added RM50 credits, & did som grocery shopping, scan & paid wit boost.

but later i noticed my account balance still showing RM50.
i thought maybe slow update. waited till 2day, balance still RM50.

is that normal? 

Nice one... the highest shake i get was rm2 for both my kk use.. Next one would be my celcom bill...still undecided to split into two times (to get 2 shakes) or just pay in one go.. lol

Anyone try pay bills with boost?

I want to pay TNB and Digi but both are not supported

Boost seems to be the most promising Mobile wallet ATM.

Wechat Pay isn't around the corner, they basically disappeared. They kept delaying their official launch from June to July and then now to September, and it wasn't even Wechat team themselves who said that, it was the agents instead. The hype is already gone for Wechat Pay, I rather support the local ones like Boost and Fave cuz they're really aggressive in their expansion.

How's MPUPU? I only saw it at Chicking's, didn't know it's an e wallet.

We already have too much e wallets around here, no point for us consumers to install like 10 of them just to use at different merchants, don't forget that we also have to provide our personal details (for withdrawal purposes) due to BNM regulations, but I don't think it's a good idea to give out our details to many e wallets lol.

Some of you may have received this promo.


My son and daughter received theirs around Jul 19 via email. It's not visible in-app. They've both purchased RM5 topups two days ago and received their RM5 cashbacks yesterday.

Even though I did not receive that email, I decided to try anyway and bought RM5 topup yesterday. Surprisingly I also received the RM5 cashback today.

You may want to try your luck too. The cashback shows up as "Cashback Bonus" in Transaction History.

I started using 11street again because of Boost. It also helps that they're having RM10 cashback again - they had it last month also. Before that it was strictly Shopee, Lelong and Lazada.

I gotta admit that I did get a bit triggered after getting nothing in return from it lol, but it's okay, I'm a huge fan of going cashless/e wallets so it's not a big deal for me.
11st was popular back then because it was new and they were advertising it aggressively, but that time Lazada was leading the e-commerce market right? Lazada has always been the leader, from back then until now.

But I'm kinda worried about how Boost is gonna perform in the long run, I think cashback is the main attraction and also the reason that helped them get to this position as the leader of e wallet here, and now the 50% cashback promotion is gonna end very soon, they have to come up with something more attractive to get more people join the platform, and it's better for them to retain that shake reward because at least it's still something. Maybe they can be like Favepay, giving out cashbacks after every transactions, I believe they have more than enough of ability to do similar thing because they (as in Axiata/Celcom) is a big company, they have nothing much to lose.

Also don't forget that majority are still not convinced in going for cashless solution, cash is still king. They also gotta do something to attract these group of people into going cashless, but it's not easy because many people who are heavily reliant on cash are very stubborn and it's hard to convince them to even pay for something using their debit card paywave.

Smaller e wallets are more likely to be phased out in the future due to the culture of our society, and also because they're not as aggressive as Boost and Favepay.

Have you tried paying utility bills, how much shake reward do you get?

key in RM1 to top up melaka water bill for my parent to "test water" but BOOST deducted RM100! 

who know how to complain?

written there "Min. RM1"

Just update your Fave app and you can see the option under My Payment. then you can Fave Pay via Boost and get free Shakes.. (need to go in the Shake session to claim your shake)..
