want to ask experts using bigpay.. anyone tried using the card to churn airmiles? from what i read and understand, it can also be used as a way to hit minimum credit card spending for fee waiver (m2cp etc).

for ease of withdrawal, load maximum RM 9k to bigpay, using M2CP VI, spending RM 9k = about 4k miles. After loading, withdraw from ATM (RM 3k x 3) with fees of about RM 18. 1 year can get about 48k miles at cost of RM216 where the miles value is at least RM 1,920 (RM 0.04 / mile). At same time by pass the minimum spend for M2CP.

Even more interesting is if using MBB Diamante VI which earns 5x points on any spending...

Do that and see BigPay ban you. BigPay is very touchy when people withdraw large amount of money frequently you know.

again this is not stated in the terms and conditions. and nobody else reported of any bans besides the uncle who is no longer active.

Please know that it's in the company best interest not to allow you easy withdrawal. If easy to withdraw, they cannot use your money for funding. Think of it this way, if you lock up people's money and the only way to get it out is to spend it, money is essentially lock in.

When money is lock in, they have access to free cash at zero interest rate. Which means they don't need to loan from banks.

So tell me, if I were BigPay, would I want to banned some one who frequently withdraw money?

Actually your statement is kinda wrong in many ways. Our money is not supposed to lock and ‘used’ by BP for funding or whatever you want to call it. It is governed but Finncial Act.

Why do you think the ewallet is such a hot place? The winner takes it all.
No one do anything for free. Remember BigPay and air Asia is not a charity organisation.
Another thing you need to know is they need to pay their staff. Where's the money coming from to pay their staff?
That's why startup burn lots of cash to gain marketshare. Once they gain sufficient market share, they will become profitable.

wrong

withdrawal feature is a MANDATORY feature for emoney issuer/ewallet. it's the policies and enforcements that differs from issuer to issuer.

user's money is put in a TRUST ACCOUNT (and reported to BNM) and is treated differently by the bank (very very low interest compared to retail/biz account).
*
Yes they let you withdraw but impose restriction here and there.

sifus here have spoken what really happens. what u think they want and what is really happening are two different things. we may not be right all the time. sometimes it's good to be humble and to listen to other ppl's opinion as well.
*
Yes I agree that sifus here are very nice. But we have to remind ourselves, Bigpay and airasia is not a charity organisation. And it pays to know how they are making money, what they plan to do with Bigpay if they emerge the dominance player.

Again as I saiid, people don't do things for free.

Tried this card at the following:
- Watson Tesco ampang = fail
- MyNews Tesco Ampang = fail
- Tesco Ampang = fail

Note : All 3 using Wave function. Not pin

What are the use case of this card that u guys use for?
*
I use this card to bridge online cashback to offline so that I earn cash back on everything, anytime of the day.

Another usage is for overseas online shopping. This card give you xe exchange rates or money changers rates. Tell me which card is able to do? Even bank debit card also have higher rates than xe.

QUOTE(life27 @ Oct 7 2018, 12:32 PM)
is this useful for online shopping ??
*
For overseas online shopping definitely yes. For local, not really worth it as there's plenty of cards you can use for local online shopping.

Why overseas worth it?
- xe rate/money changer rates
- topup with cashback credit card

With the above 2, your overseas online shopping become way cheaper than normal.

Hey people. I was in Europe for 2 weeks - hence the lack of reactivity on my part. If I've missed anything important, please PM me smile.gif

Meanwhile... I changed money at CIMB just before leaving and compared with the rate I got from BigPay.

CIMB: 1EUR = 5.05RM
BigPay: 1EUR = 4.76RM

It essentially cost me 29RM more to spend 100EUR with CIMB than with BigPay.

Mind. Blown.

If want to compare, compare against the midvalley guys. Not banks doh.gif doh.gif

QUOTE(fruitie @ Oct 25 2018, 02:06 AM)
Not in my opinion. I work in The Gardens and have no idea what's so great with them. In my opinion, the better rates are in Nu Sentral. The ones in MV are relocating to new place and temporarily closed, now causing the one in The Gardens area super crowded. doh.gif

To me, their price is competitive but not the best. Most of the time, I won't have such patience to queue, so I will go to the one in a convenience store (same floor as these money changers) or straight go to Maybank. The difference is minimal since I don't exchange a lot plus my time is more precious.
*
I check out nu sentral rates. Still higher than midvalley. Hence always patronise them. Now with instarem, can forget about queueing already.

QUOTE(tohff7 @ Oct 25 2018, 07:03 AM)
Kiasu and herd mentality. I always go to the Maybank to change with no queue instead.

The difference is very small like around RM10-15 per RM5K transaction
*
Maybank price also not cheap.I checked all the shops at mid valley. I go where I can get more cash/RM even if need to queue.

The error message doesn't make sense, as Shopee told us they had changed payment gateway and that their new one didn't accept BigPay lol. Still managed to buy something from them 2 days ago so... Trying to reach out to their payment / tech team to get this miss sorted out.

I think is time you change to visa since Mastercard giving so much issue.

You guys are seriously underestimating us lah biggrin.gif Or haven't quite understood BigPay's vision / mission. oon, we'll be providing remittance and international transfers with lower fees than anyone. When we provide instant loans at better rates than anyone, with a unique credit scoring system that doesn't just mindlessly take numbers into account - but behaviours... It'll change the game forever. And that's just the beginning smile.gif Imagine a bank that helps you build financial wellbeing on multiple fronts: literacy, savings, investments... But I understand that if the only reason why you're using BigPay is to gain cashback or rewards, then all of this probably doesn't appeal to you right now. We're not Boost. We don't want to incentivise people to spend. We want them to be financially free. A lot of people aren't lucky enough to have fair access, or even access at all, to all these financial services - and we'd like to change that.
*
Walk the talk first with proof that you guys are cheaper than instarem/moneymatch/max money when it comes to remittance. If you can offer better rates than them, you will have a loyal customer. You guys are just copying what Revolut done and Revolut have already set up shop in SG. It won't be long before they start to set up shop in Malaysia. And Revolut reach is wider than BigPay's.

In fintech you need to be the first mover and scale up quickly or you will lose your competitiveness.
