That seems to be RHB issue. I had to format my S8, and after format I didnt add back Citibank card immediately.

Somehow Citibank is able to learn of this and automatically revoked the token and send me an SMS saying that my card have been unlinked from SPAY. When I add back the card a few weeks later it just proceeded as normal with SMS code.

Absolutely. I searched again, sorry it was sent by email, not SMS.

Edit: This email comes right after the email Samsung Pay device registration when I re-registered for Samsung Pay after phone format. So it is triggered somehow by the act of just reinstall/activate samsung pay on the device

It is a very nice power bank actually. Quick charging, high quality cables and casing.

Can easily earn back the cost of going there if you are in Klang Valley should you be interested to sell it

This, it sounds difficult but actually takes maybe 15 minutes for transfer to Big and transfer out again. And you can do it for all 3 months one shot. Please make use of it while we still can

lolx, extra points while we are having one of the shortest list of things to redeem in history

This. I did use mine in Germany, it worked but no points and no rewards also.

The biggest problem is many shops doesnt allow customer to use spay even though their terminal can support paywave. Some caveman mindset.

One of the big culpit is Padini - i can't ban them because of it because family still supports. Their people say that if i take out physical card but swap and use phone they still will get into trouble. And angry as we get its not frontline fault but stupid management.

Now, how do we go about complaining them into submission?

Can we complain to Spay?
or complain to bank that provides their terminal?
or complain to bank negara?

Yeah, thats the problem... i want to complain but this is such a grey area.

I think I should buy 100 shares of the company, go to their AGM and shoot their managements during Q&A for behaving like dinosaurs in the age of flying robots.

Actually I asked many staff especially supervisors. Nothing wrong with their terminal, if it accepts paywave then it works. Its nothing technical, just "maangement decision". I don't accuse if I haven't done the groundwork and trying to figure out. There are many who would appreciate the education that their terminal have more functions that they know. I also wont be an apologist for lousy management decision. Trust me - if you are in management, and you make your customers not happy without a good reason - its a lousy management decision. Period.

Double tap like GSC actually is not a problem if they explain to customer.
The padini supervisor i talked to was very friendly - told me that management not approved to use it. I told ask her if people actually do it could work or not - she says got people actually do a bait and switch with a physical card and then tap with phone. It works.
But by procedure the staff have to report to management, review CCTV to show that the customer do it and not the staff let them do, and write a report.

Previously BO also have this policy (the staff say akan kena marah by management) but all of a sudden they relaxed and allowed it without ever displaying "Samsung Pay accepted here" signboard.

So it sounds really like poor management decision on panini's part. I would say its really a panini decision

Dont want to make it difficult for poeple who are just doing their job lor. I just ask them nicely what is the reason la.

I missed the good old days where 2000 pts = RM50 giant voucher... its like a cash back.. actually better. One tap = RM1

Now... nothing there to redeem

i'm usually good with MBB as well.
HSBC is the one usually giving the Do Not Honor message (although using the card itself will be fine)

I missed the IconX and watches and those stuf the early users got. Luckily i managed to collect quite a number of useful stuff
-wireless charger, used maybe 3x, only useful when my s8+ is wet
-2x really good power banks (one big one small)
-over RM300 of Giant vouchers (really good and useful)

Now, I look at the list it is depressing. Spay is not going to be the future of payment. At the rate of incentivization of e wallets, it will be a niche that a few die hard ppl here like us care about.

actually after the effort to create a wonderful application (the magic is that it can work on old style magnetic terminals), for Samsung to stop promoting this platform... such a pity

Anyway to know how many vouchers remaining for this AirAsia promo?

Just got my AirAsia points. Dunno why today every transaction counter as two for AirAsia, but only one for Samsung pay.. bug?

Perhaps it was a BHP terminal issue. I was chasing my 50 transactions so I did 4 in the afternoon. Opened the airasia status page, it says 8. So at night went do another 4 transactions, and it still works.

All the best ya, hope you can claim it soon

AA points is worth 1 point = 1 sen

So eventually I suppose SPay and AA will converge to the lowest common denominator.. haihz
Missed the old days when 2000 points = RM50 voucher, means swipe once = RM1

To be fair, the Big partnership give Spay users an avenue to extend expiry forever.

The downside is the depreciation.

My take is that eventually they will divorce. Reason? The incoming Samsung Pay Cash will be in direct competition with Bigpay (even comes with foreign transfer equivalent)

"BIG points earned after 1 June 2019 will be valid for 24 months from the date of issuance"
