Discussions made here could actually cause such publicity, don't underestimate the popularity of LYN, and it's definitely not a small group.

to me, yes, it's the defacto forum!

i've learned so much since joining LYN, & learning more each day... smile.gif

As at 27 Dec, I spent NT$ 3,569 or RM 481 out of a total of RM 2,537 spent since I joined BP on 20 Nov but their system said that all my spending are in M'sia!

Anyone rec'd the same email & the total spent overseas are correct?

Yes, very impressive indeed!

Imagine if she's a BigPay Ambassador, she'll make much more...

I just registered a new BigPay card and going to taiwan next month. I got few questions to ask.

1) This card can withdraw in any atm in taiwan or only specific atm?

2) what is the maximum amount that can be withdraw in a single day?

3) If withdraw in airport, will be there any extra charges or difference rate?

4) Any special procedure need to do when withdraw through atm? (such as always choose local currency or etc?)
*
1) I withdrew from a Family Mart outlet in Taichung in Dec - very good rate as it's lower than the one that I got from a M'sian moneychanger in Oct! Worry not as there're ATMs everywhere in 7-11 & Family Mart, the 2 biggest retailers in Taiwan, & there're also plenty of banks' ATMs where I stayed at in Taipei.

2) The one that I withdrew from has a max of NT$20K.

3) Sorry, I didn't use the airport's ATMs.

4) No special procedure at all as the instructions are all in English. The ATM will prompt you to touch the amount that you want to withdraw. After pressing your desired amount, it'll ask if you want to continue to other services - press NO & the money will pop out plus your BP card.

Enjoy your trip as I did mine. Safe travels. smile.gif

Thanks for your reply and sharing...this is very helpful.... Competitive Exchange Rate is the key attraction to me for BP...

make sure you reload sufficiently for your trip. 7-11, Fly Mart, OK Mart, KFC, McD all accepts BP card.

hv a great time in Taiwan!

my last 3 days there were somehow dampened by the drizzling rain but their night marts are very colourful & crowded too & fell in love with their Tiger Sugar Pearl drink, which, incidentally, is opening at Pyramid on 1 Jan - my love life can now continue! biggrin.gif

just to share my experience on oversea ATM withdrawal in Taiwan. Tried on a few bank ATM. so far these without bank charges
1. Taiwan Cooperative Bank
2. Taipei Fubon Bank
3. Cathay United Bank(Usually you will see it in Family Mart)

All the 3 bank maximum withdrawal is NTD 20k

Bank with charges:
1. China Trust Bank (CTBC) ( Usually these can see in 7-eleven)

rate is surprisingly good. I got around 100NTD = RM13.55
*
Did the CTBC ATM prompt you that there are charges for your withdrawal?

I withdrew at Family Mart (Taishin Bank ATM) at Taichung on 6 Dec at a rate of 13.57. Interestingly, the slip showed my available balance in NT$ too - cool!
