My question would be - Did you entered the pin for BP correctly? There's 2 pins in the app.. One for app and another for the card.

To members,

I noticed the last couple of posts from a few members were totally not relevant to this thread. As a result, the posts are now removed and members activities would be observed. Would like to remind them to stop posting such immediately.

To members

Appreciate if discussion in this thread is kept within topic. Noticed the prevalent recent cashback (CB) discussions which does not have any relevancy here.

Return flight if originating overseas will be local currency denominated. Likely it'll be displayed as a forex converted value (approximate).

My advice is for individuals to access their individual risk tolerance factor. If you have some sort of medical cover when travelling within Malaysia then can consider skipping travel insurance. Recommended to take up travel insurance for international travels and do note the various coverage coverage offered by insurance co.

Sometimes buying flight tickets using credit cards will have some cover but I will advise that this "free" cover provides very basic coverage as compared to buying travel insurance separately. Anyone wishing to make comparisons ... then read your credit card's T&C and look for travel insurance coverage and compare it to any travel insurance Product Disclosure Information.

There are more ways than one to pay Cukai Taksiran DBKL. You need not be dependant on MyEG and still be able to use BP.

The moment you receive an email from PayOnline saying the transaction is "Approved", you can consider it is cleared already.
ALL transactions in BigPay (or even any other credit card) will not be cleared instantaneously after a card is charged. Transactions originating from other than card issuing country of origin will take longer to clear as compared to local transactions.

I did mention my concerns on BigPay's reliabilities quite some time back and how much it should not be tolerated given it is a financial provider. It may have been largely ignored as the masses were so fixed on maximising their CBs via BigPay.

Thus I welcome the realisation of the users here in pushing for BigPay to deliver on their realibilities or ship out. Don't talk about growing if they can't get the basics right. Maybe it is just a typical Malaysian mentality but it is nothing to be proud of.

A Fintech org operating in SG will quickly be penalised by the authorities if they operate like BP did. But we still have a long way to go in MY.

I hope members would not tolerate such shortcomings and reject supporting them if they do not buck up soon. Our money are not to be experimented with.

Folks

Anger and flames aside, no profanities allowed. Next round if I see any of those in here even though they are masked - they will be swiftly removed and member monitored for further consequence management.

That aside, i disagree with BigPay's prolonged app errors as it need to work 100% of the time as they are dealing with the public's money. Don't be part of Malaysian products negative stigma.

Hahaha ... it took me a while to read all the posts.

The thread is meant to share the information on BigPay prepaid card. Somewhere along the way we had a guest from BigPay itself and everyone got excited given how hot this product at this point of time. Note that this thread is not BigPay's avenue for complaints as it was mentioned before that for complaints do use BP's facebook messenger. What we are looking for in here in members "experience" sharing and largely this is what been happening all along - positive and negative sharing both alike.

We do encourage a healthy discussion (or even strong discussions if you like) but I'll put a full stop to profanities, baseless accusations, pointless discussions & OT. Some use masking for "so-called" avoidance purpose but let's be more intelligent about it as it still carries the same meaning underneath. I took the effort to edit the posts (on the recent hot discussion) rather than to delete them but I won't repeat this effort anywhere in this section again.

I've been around here for years and the problem of "spoon feeding" still lingers. Not only in this thread or this forum but this is a problem with all forums over the Net.

Member comes in ... have a lingering question in mind ... sees a long discussion ... lazy to read/in a hurry ... ask a question and give excuse lazy to read & says TQ ... somebody repeats the answer ... every now and then the member will get flamed for being lazy ... then member retort saying it is his/her right to do so and who are you to question what I do ... A small argument ensures (Repeat)

Cycle sounds familiar right ? I appreciate if everyone takes the efforts to read, the threads in this forum are very very rich in content. When you don't read and choose to take a "short cut" then when trouble will start to brew. It may not happen right away but eventually it will.


Oh yeah ... the updates in this section is partially due to BigPay thread. I predict more Fintech products will come up and if that happens - I invite future TS to approach/PM me for a thread. Don't proceed to open it right away without clearance.

One last thing ... I did invite Boost TS to move his thread here but TS declined. A hint : I briefed @fairylord on what's expected and guidelines once he becomes the TS, BP thread is doing well now. I did the same for Boost TS too but TS wish to remain in Kopitiam.

Yup. You got that right.
There's a limit to TS's threads to ensure there's focus and commitment. Plus it allows others to contribute too. 1 thread can demand quite a lot of attention (e.g BigPay), let alone taking 2 threads which can be very very taxing.

There're a number of thread in the cc section which has hit their limit and seeking a new TS. No takers.

Accidentally hidden.

It is possible as I have done so.
Via an app called ScreenMaster, try it out.

You have to "turn on" the app every time you need it. Don't need it, off it. If I'm not mistaken, by default it is not activated.

Roger that.
It is working for me. In fact, I reinstalled and perform a screen capture before I posted. It's alright.

Folks

Please do not be tempted to go OT. Nor this is a discussion thread for other products.
Subsequent OT posts will be removed as per T&C of this forum.

You more or less answered your own question yourself.

All MY telcos will not charge if you receive SMS abroad. (Assuming your number have access to roaming capabilities) Do note, I'd recommend using reliable telcos which are sure to provide you with hassle free roaming while you are abroad.

Even if the card is recognised but the merchant's terminal reject the card, it wouldn't be of use.
In my opinion, the phrase "Internationally recognised ... " is just a term coined by the bank to market their card product. In actual fact as long as the card is accepted (and not declined) by the merchant's terminal, does it matter ?

Folks here will rant when they have problems with this card. When the card do works, most of the time everyone will stay quiet.
