Ya, I remember I went in 2017; credit card acceptance was pretty high at that time.Can't say the same for Japan though, last trip in 2019 CC acceptance was still low.

QUOTE(ChiaW3n @ Oct 19 2022, 05:48 PM) Well depends what you do i guess .. I'm going next month and based on my checks mostly still recommend cash. To load T money u need cash, roadside stalls which is where the good stuff are is cash, small shops also cash. Even guesthouse if u pay cash can get some discounts. Unless u're going for business, taking taxi and stay hotel and eat restaurants all then could be card i guess ... and their cashless mostly also thier ewallet i think? Not sure. |

QUOTE(PoisonSoul @ Oct 18 2022, 10:23 PM) Anyone realised when you log in BigPay app and you start seeing the notification at the bottom saying "your new card will be printed soon" eventhough your card is still far from expiring/just renewed? Yeah, mine is like 16X days away from expiry so i didn't click in.I tapped it, and then it brings me to the Qatar virtual card but then there's no info on if it's being printed or not. QUOTE(no6 @ Oct 19 2022, 06:00 PM) bigpay is changing from mastercard to visa for new card. is the forex for visa less desirable than mastercard ? from what i read from this page, seems like mastercard rate is still better hence I not planning to change anytime soon as i plan to travel overseas early next year. |

QUOTE(4eyeco @ Oct 19 2022, 03:10 PM) Hi all. Anyone of you tried using bigpay in South Korea? For Seoul specifically 85% no problem using card especially at department stores, supermarkets, convenience stores, cafes and restaurants.How convenient is it to use in South Korea? Trying not to convert too much cash haha. Appreciate your sharing! However do bring a reasonable amount of cash for traditional markets and small businesses as such. Certain shops in the underground market do have terminals but its so different than the ones we use and many do not have contactless payment so there is potential risk of error in reading the card. If you really don't wanna carry cash, you can withdraw at the atm with fees but do take note on the location and fees cause different banks will charge differently depending on area such as airport, tourist areas and such. wongmunkeong liked this post

QUOTE(4eyeco @ Oct 20 2022, 10:25 AM) Thanks for all the sharing! Maybe you can consider to withdraw cash there (Seven Bank @ any 7-Eleven).Guess I will bring more cash than what I initially planned, to avoid unnecessary headache We did this when we were in Japan on our last 3 visits (2014/ 2018/ 2019). The same apply to our S Korea/ Europe trip. If not mistaken, the credit card acceptance was quite good in 2019 (Japan). We used Debit card (BigPay MasterCard and Aeon Plus Visa) in 80% of shops/ food courts/ supermarket that we've visited. It's super convenient. The reason why we're using Debit card (instead of Credit card) is because of "safety"**. We will preload RM1,000 in both BigPay & Aeon Plus before leave Malaysia. Then we will reload RM1,000 again & again (using our Malaysia credit card) to BigPay in Japan on every week. **Safety = our liability is only limit to RM1,000 in case bad thing happen. Hope this info help ya! harmonics3 liked this post

Hi guys,
Is it still recommended to use BigPay for spending abroad? I'm going for a week's holiday. Should I convert all my money or just pay using BigPay? Thanks. |

Anyone else received email from Bigpay for those still using Mastercard one that they will automatically convert all Mastercard to Visa one by 3rd Dec?
I reluctant to change as previously informed that Mastercard rate is more competitive but if now they enforce to all I guess i renew now. |
