Right..... on speaker!!! And pointing the speaker close to their ear..... We are not interested in your conversation, ok...... hahaha
Why can't they just use the earpiece to listen to their voice messages???

Buying metro train tickets still require cash. I've encountered twice at train stations where people asking me for money to buy train tickets and they would transfer it back to me via wechat pay. They are so used to not bringing cash out.

That's correct. KK receipt will show the original amount whereas wechat transaction history will show the discounted amount.

The KK mart cashier didn't know the promo too even though they have the banner outside. But it doesn't matter. Just do the usual scanning and the discount will be given automatically.

I've tried using china mobile number to create a wechat account. But there is a problem. Wechat requires verification by getting friends to scan your QR code. In the end, still fail in creating that account.

I don't think it's location based. The discount is given automatically after you scan your code to pay. On their receipt, it will still show the actual price. Only on our app, the discount is given and the price deducted will be the price after discount.

No, the discount wasn't shown until after payment.

Mine only one step. Scan QR code. Next thing receipt is shown on app.

I opened up quick pay and scan my device on their scanner, just like how we use mobile app at Starbucks.

I thought here in Malaysia, we only have one way to pay, which is the quick pay to merchant. Unlike in China, they have two.

Could it be because I have chosen to pay without PIN?

Unfortunately no.

Just bought something from KK and got the RM5 discount.

I suppose the RM5 discount promo is given by wechat, not the merchant. So it doesn't matter which merchant we go to, right? So far, as of 8.30pm yesterday, the RM5 discount was still available at KK.

I would think it is the merchant's problem here. The promo works well for me at all KK Mart outlets. I've visited 4 different outlets, and all work well.

Yes. Walk away. Good move!

My balance is RM0.00.....

I've transferred out all my balance once I was done with the RM5 promo.

Which outlet? Seems like some outlets the staff doesn't know how.

Visa and Mastercard is not that popular in China. Union Pay has better acceptance. There is a Great Wall Travel Prepaid Union Pay Card provided by Bank of China. But even for Union Pay, there is international and local union pay. Some merchants may accept only the local ones.

This method worked when I helped my friend do it few weeks back.

Seems like China has just changed the ruling again. I tried to do it today, and immediately when you opened the red packet, there's a pop up that says that a china bank card is required to use the wechat balance according to China rules. Then it will bring you to the Add Bank Card page. So if you add a Malaysia card, whether debit or credit, I tried both, the card will be added as it can be found in the cards section, but they now really serve no purpose at all, not even enabling us to open red packet. Still, a China bank card is required to do that.

Whew... luckily I enabled mine months ago. Now, really there is no way of enabling china wallet.

Is it the "Receive Money" feature? We don't have this for Wechat Pay MY but Wechat Pay China has that feature. Anyone can pay you money by scanning the QR code on your phone. Unlike Angpow where you have to add the person as friends before you can send money to the person, receive money feature can be done without adding the person as friend. Small vendors are using the same way to get money from customers when they printed out the QR code and let customers scan to pay.

One of the ways I did to get RMB in my Wechat Pay China is that when I went to small vendors to buy stuff, I paid them cash in big notes and ask them to transfer the change to me into my wechat pay wallet.
