Can BP at least notify the customer via the app that a new card is being delivered and the existing card is being blocked. I hate having a huge sum in the balance and looking like a clown when the merchant says the card is being blocked.

big pay is disappointing, so much problem reading from you guys here. Where is that Big Jonathan?

No warning nothing, you do online  transaction , got OTP and thought done, but  payment wont go through, then you found out reason is "unable to process".?
use other credit card ok instantly.

i think he mentioned before. if i remember correctly it was their server problem. it can’t cope with the current volume of usage. i guess it’s the same problem with topping up.

If your solution to error in topping up is to avoid the peak hours, does it apply to making purchases as well (which would be ridiculous)?

Is there a reason why there is a 30 min gap in between?

I see nothing in the linked post which indicates why you would want to reload 5x and then wait 30 minutes. If you already know 5x is successful then why not just complete all?

I had 17x reloads this morning between 3 different bigpay cards from PBB, only 2 times couldn't load OTP screen (and no OTP sent).

There are a few things you can do to make sure it doesn't happen to you:
- I know there is cashback & rewards and other stuff, but try not to make too many top ups really quickly in a row;
- performing top ups at off peak hours has never failed me (usually around middle of the afternoon).

So far my advice is top up before 8am.

After that seems to have a lot of problem.

something out of topic but still related to topping up BP.
for those who are going to offshore or any place which is not able to receive call/sms for a period, you may put your sim card to another phone at home and travel by using mightytext.net to view the OTP remotely.
the delay is almost like 1-2 sec if your line is stable.
going to use this on next monday PBB time~
*
interested to get your feedback. if possible i avoid monday trip to offshore lol

I don't like. If I get the wireless card, I'll disable it. Imagine if you lose your card without knowing (happened to me before  sweat.gif ), then anyone who pick that up can just wave and this is not credit card (with protection). So I would rather go tho more hassle than lose my money.
*
Agreed. Does BP have 24-hour CS? If not how to cancel the card if we lose it?

Haihz, I can't top up now. Is now even considered peak hour?

QUOTE(ming86 @ Aug 22 2018, 07:50 PM)
Imagin what happen if you lose the card and your phone at the same time?  sweat.gif

Agreed. Their secondary method of protection seems non existence. Waiting for next day for CS to be in operation is not exactly a smart security feature.

The best method for now if you lose the phone as well is to borrow another phone and sign in using your details to log in and freeze the account.

What he meant is whether u have used up the 10k top up limit for August. If yes, you can top up thru direct bank account transfer

I have used up 9.5k quota. Left 500 for next week pbb top up.

QUOTE(Kcee @ Aug 25 2018, 10:34 AM)
I mean, could you have used credit cards to top up till 10k into BP this month?
If not, I think BP might be having issues again. Reliability to top up seems to be common problem
for BP.

Also nope. This month I topup <5k.

Finally OK. After 1 minute i posted the above reply lol.

I'll wait patiently until tomorrow then and hope my ticket prices don't change.

"Inconvenience" is one thing, but its a scary thought that large sums of money are temporarily unaccounted for. For many people 2,700 is a significant amount and just not knowing what's happened can be nerve wrecking.

I'm not starting a BP bashing session as I am generally a fan and it has served me very well on my overseas travels. However I do sympathise with people who have experienced similar situations to me where there is uncertainty on what's happened to our money. I still have faith in the system and trust that they will work on improving it.... But time is definitely of the essence and hopefully there is some urgency in dealing with these issues posted in this thread.

the worst part is ppl would keep topping up thinking the transaction actually failed but it’s actually not. and suddenly you end up having large amount of money in the balance for an error that’s not your fault.
