Not only that. You would need a local China bank account and also local China mobile phone no. Not easy for us Malaysian's to obtain. Better if you have a local friend in China and you get him to transfer some money into your Wechat Wallet, of course by paying him back.

Oh yeah, this I know but you kinda confused me when you mentioned us being victims. 🤣😀

haha, angpao so little and limited, even rm2 topup claims also gave out already.

Wechat is so rich, should give more budgets if wanna monopoly Malaysia cash-mindset market.

Tencent to be more accurate!

Yeah true, don't know why they so stingy and not willing to spend for their marketing and awareness campaign.

I thought they are refreshing the quota today. Seems not

By right, they should because the promotion is set till 28th August.

The campaign is over right?

I'm still of the opinion that the packet money is meant to encourage more guinea pigs to stress test their servers or to better gauge the amount of users in Malaysia.

At the same time, let's not forget that these are still free money so it's still better than nothing.

haha, got over 31 e-wallets but only those gave cashback or privileges can getting slices of cakes.

Tencent/Wechat should be more aggressive in this since they're pionnered in this sector.

Hopefully, they don't have that mindset that they are big and pioneers, so everyone will and should use their e-wallet. That would be a grave mistake and complacency from their side.

At least can check balance, it's still something. But I'm still waiting for them to launch the online reload feature.

Not fully forgivable yet, just partially.

They have a huge challenge for this.
That's why they failed miserably when they first launched it months back before Raya 2018.

Your opinion does make sense, but I'm leaning more towards to the latter.


I'm still wondering how are they gonna encounter Boost, it might be a battle of getting merchants accepting their service and also coming up with cashback promotion but in a money packet form.

CNY wallet can transfer ditectly with static QR code, MYR should did the same too...

Free of charges or 1% charges will attract mostly merchants.
As long as cheaper than cards providers and payment gateways.

Personally, I don't like their new UI graphic design...I prefer the previous one.

Good thing, they add the new feature for physical card.

But, the whole thing still look half bake, especially on the ios security side...you can use the TnG wallet to make payment without have to key in any security pin (but on android version i found that you need to)...hope they notice that...

IINM, the packet money actually comes from HLB so bank being bank, they're usually much more conservative even though their pocket should be a lot deeper.

Seriously!!! No wonder that explains why so prudent with the small red packet amounts. 🤣😂

Indeed, it's still half baked.

Also, my friend using an Android phone, is able to make payment without having to enter pin cuz he never set it.

That why until now I still don't even dare to top up any credit into the TnG e-wallet...plus, until now still cannot do withdrawal...basically they only want the money to go one-way

So far I only manage to top up using KK FREE RM10 reload pin, and use to buy thing at KK, there I notice it is surprisingly fast process, faster than Boost coz you no need to key in any pin...After the KK supervisor key in the top up soft pin, click pay and scan the barcode...done

Aside from the lack of withdrawal, it's actually a better e wallet than Wechat Pay for the time being.

Wechat Pay may be the worst when it comes to UI and software stability among the e wallets.
