Problem is, they're being too slow and too quiet, and that's not a good thing in the competition. They need awareness and something that will help them stay in the long run.

I'm also suspecting it's our government trying to protect local e wallets, but true or not, they gotta try and control the e wallet market here cuz it's getting too flooded and also encourage the society in going cashless and using e wallets.

Lacking merchants isn't an excuse, they can just come up with promotions with their current merchants, and they already have 2 available so far.

If you're talking about big merchant, there's KK mart, unless you don't consider them "big" enough.

Yup, it's true.

That's why don't expect the same outcome like they have in China.

It's probably fine, not like you're making phone calls beside a petrol pump which has many scientific blah blah blah about why it's dangerous to do that.

You should try looking up for an app called Setel, it's a new app for you to pay for your petrol just with your phone via the app, only available in selected Petronas stations for now. If waving phones around those pumps are dangerous, I guess such app won't allowed to be made right?

Boost already started doing that in a Shell station at JB fyi.

Same here lol, finally!

My mistake.

But either way, there should be a promotion.

Previously, there was a charge to register for Wechat Pay, but after that they removed it lol, probably because others aren't charging for it.

Do more work?

I remember somebody here mentioned before that their previous 'money packet campaign' was from HLB.

If that's true, then Tencent is indeed lansi and stingy.

But isn't Wechat Pay more into business than investment?

If that's really the case with their govt, good luck then.



Seeing the current stage of Wechat Pay here, I believe they're gonna be more into expansion than promotion.

But they gotta loosen up their policies first.

True, but I'm still having doubts on their team.

They would still need to give out free money to users no matter what, that's how our society works unfortunately.

That's the reason why Boost is leading the market cuz they burned a lot of money, and they will have to keep burning until they become mainstream.

No free money, no market for you.

Hopefully.

Actually, I haven't used it yet and I got notified earlier today that my voucher is expiring very soon.

Look, I appreciate free money, but have they forgotten their expansion?

Or do they know what's "expansion"?

Or they misunderstood the meaning of "expansion" as "relax"?

Wait, I don't get it.

What is this? Wechat Pay MY CS in HLB?

Maybe try Alipay? I don't know how it works for people outside China, but maybe you can try look it up.

Or maybe get a Unionpay debit card, works in China most of the times if they accept cards, I guess.

I see, that makes sense.

Got a bit confused for a second there.

Well, can't think about any possibility of what he meant other than CS lol.

Saw this outside 99 speedmart.

As usual...

Me: "Boleh pakai wicet tak?"

C: "Sekarang tak boleh, sistem ada problem"

Me: "Baru dapat ke?"

C: "Dah seminggu dah, boleh cuba kat kedai lain lah"

Me: "Okay" *poker face*

I think they haven't upgraded their POS system, probably still running on the old DOS unlike KK mart which is using Windows.

Local merchants mostly have a habit of sticking the sticker (accepting e wallet) outside the store but they haven't got everything ready yet.

Only for mainland Chinese people though.

I beg to differ, Boost is still more superior than Wechat Pay currently, don't forget the shake rewards as well.

Really? Didn't know they accept THB now.

Hopefully next time can use it to pay for stuffs when in Bangkok.

I think it won't be a long wait for Boost to partner with 99, since they're pretty aggressive in expansion.

Yeah, agree.
