I frankly think this is obviously a subjective question since different people carry out different activities and the various e-wallets available might cater to these different activities best so it's incredibly difficult to objectively grade all these e-wallets in the same manner. But from what i've experienced i think it can be broken down into two main aspects of priority when it comes to picking e-wallets. The rewards and the general availibility.

I think that grabpay wins in the rewards aspect hands down! It's the only e-wallet where what you see is what you get. Unlike all other e-wallets that seem to commonly offer cashbacks that range in value(i.e. When i spend RM10 on boost i've received cashbacks ranging from RM0.10 to even RM 0.50),whereas with grabpay i receive a known amount of points which in my opinion is better since accumulation of points to redeem rewards is undoubtedly the safest bet if you're seeking to obtain the most out of an e-wallet system which if you're not, there's no point in venturing into this domain!

Secondly, the availibility. In this regard, boost wins by a long stretch. I'm from East Malaysia and i literally see boost merchants every corner of the street! Which if i'm to make an intelligent guess, i can only imagine boost being as widely accepted as cash payments these days in West Malaysia. This competently makes boost an efficient option to have and utilise on a daily basis in addition to the cashback factor known to all.

In short, i'd suggest grabpay as the top choice closely followed by boost in places where grabpay is not accepted(*which is quite a lot). I hope this helps!

Tbf, grabpay does offer cashback. They call it rebate. But yes, as observed, there are extremely limited merchants and the merchants that offer these rebates are even smaller. But, i've gotten back the most per transaction via grabpay than i have from boost or any other e-payment options for that matter.

I think what he means to say is that this whole super shake thing is highly unpredictable. Your odds of winning something via super shake is slim to nothing. In other words, it's basically impossible to win unless you're extremely lucky! Placing your eggs in this basket in its entirety is not a sensible thing to do. Don't get me wrong, boost is great. i use it very regularly. On the contrary, it isn't an e-wallet in which you can build onto something bigger and that's the underlying issue with boost for me!

I assume that you're referring to e-wallets becoming more appealing to consumers on the first part. I think they can! However, i do not think that they will. This is because, that involves fundamentally altering their approach towards their entire business model. To illustrate, Boost isn't as rewarding toward their consumers as they used to be once before. This trend is somehow inevitable when it comes to a fast-growing business platform such as Boost. Understandably, this is to enable them to sustain their approach and to preserve their ecosystem. This is precisely why Boost isn't my top choice payment method. Nevertheless, i will still be using Boost regularly due to reasons mentioned previously. Boost is basically still and in my opinion, will always be a member of the apex group in a long and never-ending chain of e-wallets!
