Yes... you are correct to have that hypothesis...

That's when I realized the Top 5 were "playing" with "machine(s)" ...



I hope a13solut3 will get his Note8 for all the efforts he had put in...

It's up to the "Organiser" to judge... but if I were the Organiser, I define that as "manipulated in ANY WAY by machine(s)" ...

Ever since the new government has been established, "Rule of Law" prevails ...

a13solut3, since you were in No. 6, by the power of "Rule of Law", we hope you deserve the Note8...

At least those numbered 56, 57, 58 and so on can have the chance to get the Powerbank...

RULE OF LAW PREVAILS....!!! So, there is also possibility those in Top 20 can get the Note8 if Sammy really scrutinize the entries...who knows all entries from no. 1 till 15 is "manipulating" the transactions....

They will announce after all "manipulators" have been disqualified from the contest...

There was earlier contests having terms of "split payment" and "3 times consecutive transactions" ... so, if the 10-minutes transaction is done using the same "machine" for 3 times in a row, it's considered breaking the RULE OF LAW...just my hypothesis...

All I can say... "Congrats" ... your "Note8" is on the way to your door step....

Most probably no more ranking contest after this current fiasco... anyway, SPay is widely recognized here in Klang Valley... not sure about outside this region... so, the need to have such a contest is not mandatory... unless Sammy wanna "maintain" the momentum of SPay progress, they should figure out some other mechanism(s) and not on ranking method anymore...

Maintaining the momentum is very important to lure iPhone users to migrate to Sammy platform... also, maintaining the momentum will nurture convince and trust of SPay to general public and in the end strengthen their mobile payment market in the region... If LG Pay and Apply Pay and Android Pay try to challenge, they are too late to enter the game as SPay has gained the momentum for long time already....

Don't worry... sooner or later we can pay using our face scanning, retina or fingerprint at any store... SPay is a good start for now...

Perhaps Amazon Go is the best...for sure somebody will copycat this tech...

Typical scenario of "1st world tech, but 3rd world mindset" ...LOL... Don't give up, try again...this song is for you..

Technology evolve with time... one day human will be conquered by tech.....I'm 43 years old now...but I luv tech stuff forever... it makes me smile everyday before I take my last breath... cherish what we have today...

Have you checked the spam/junk mailbox...?

We need to reply to their email for verification purposes...

Am I the last redeemer ....(?)



Now this complete the Sammy accessories for my daily usage... TQ SPay... keep the "Rule of Law" rolling...

As per discussed earlier...



Allowing the Gear devices to capture Reward Points makes Apple Watch and Apple Pay "Game Over" here in the "New" Malaysia... LOL...

FYI...

Don't forget to apply anti-blue light tempered glass / screen guard to your smartphone... Gear VR is "hazardous" to retinas...

The main reason they allow "up to" 10 "offline" transactions thru the Gear(s) is due to:-
1) Mobile network coverage is unavailable.
2) Public WiFi is unavailable.
3) Smartphone out of energy.
4) Smartphone is missing/lost.
5) The convenience for ladies if smartphone is in the luxurious Kak Rosmah's RM1 Million Birkin bag(s)...LOL...

Side news:



So, Theoutspokenguy, hypothetically, your wish to redeem Gear S3 will come true ... standby for Aidilfitri redemption promo around the corner...LOL... Sammy has lots of old stocks of S3 to clear...LOL..

My hypothesis is that Sammy had been "check-mate" by Google Duplex feature revealed recently... their Bixby can't match / defeat Google Voice/Assistant now...



Hence, Sammy must start to think to work closely with Google eco-system especially the Google Voice/Assistant portion so that the Gear S4/S5/S6 etc. can become true companion to the owner... Bixby is loosing the credibility already... Sammy may ditch Bixby too just like what is going to happen to Tizen...

Microsoft has "Xiaoice" similar to Duplex... Amazon Alexa is well accepted in the States, while Apple Siri is sitting quietly in the corner waiting to be punished...LOL...
