Anyone of Boost users in here have their QR Code / Bar Code not so 'sensitive' ?
Sometimes their machine not able to scan my code though... hmm...

Mine works fine, is it because of the brightness of your screen when paying?

NO proper planning thats why now no more money, only way is to scam their way through lol

wondering how many people spent more than RM100 last week just for this shitty game - sadly i am one of them.

Boost is under Axiata, so you telling me that Axiata ran out of money?

It's more like they're trying to come up with new ideas to earn from us, and also trying too hard to stay relevant in the competition by launching tons of promos at once. Having many promo is good, but man, this time it's just too much, even they messed themselves up.

Btw, I'm glad I didn't have much to spend until spending like 100 bucks just to get in the game, during the period where they told us to spend more to get in the game, I only spent like 60 bucks in total normally. Initially I thought that it's kinda sad that I can't get in the game, but after thinking again, I was like nah... I'm not really into it, just use it normally to buy what I need.

Damn, I'm starting to see merchants trying to fool around with customers by imposing a minimum amount on paying with Boost...

The PKPS Cafe in Times Square that I usually go to actually refused to let me pay with Boost cuz my meal was under RM 10...

I asked the cashier "you sure?", and he replied "yes" with full confidence, it's a foreigner staff so didn't bother to argue further cuz of the language barrier...

Reported to Boost and let's see how they reply.

UPDATE: They replied as below, and the response was quick...

Hi there,

Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused, we will escalate the issue to the merchant for an immediate rectification.

We duly understand your frustration and highly appreciate your understanding and patience in this circumstance.

Thank you

Boost Support Team


Hope they really took some action.

guys so Boost team now die die don't want to check my transaction for 99 speedmart spending on 19 Dec 11:52am, I believed I am in the 800 transaction because normally even some people spend at 8pm also can get cashback. What can I do now ? Anyone got Boost manager contact ? Lol
*
There's nothing you can really do, aside from spamming on their social media or their in app chat demanding for a brief explanation.

They won't disclose the transaction quota, so they can claim whatever they want.

Unless you know Christopher Tiffin, their CEO, then you're in luck lol.

These jokers all playing a fool. Everybody must report when you see one. Minimum amount defeats the whole point of using e wallets.

In fact, Boost should release an official statement / post on their social medias and in app to encourage users to report the matter to them if we face issues like this...

To the one who kept reporting the posts here, do note that abusing the report button will result in backfire to you if the mods found out that your reports are invalid.

Just sayin'...

It's almost the end of the year, the Tuesday weekly shake reward is about to come to an end...

Wonder if they will decide to extend or come up with something new? hmm.gif

Also, there's a possibility that Chatime might be about to accept Boost anytime soon, they accepted Maybank QR and recently Grabpay.

Complaining to official authorities is probably the best way to do.

Doing this will not only serve justice for consumers but also beneficial to Boost themselves cuz that's how you make them change and not to mislead their users again.

It will never happen, because there's a big amount of users who use it just for the promos.

Btw guys, please stop arguing already, this is not /k. It's just a promo, why is it even worth arguing with each other here?

Hi fruitie, is it possible if you can check for us who's the one that keeps abusing the report button here?

Sorry for bothering, but it's really annoying when someone just keeps abusing it probably because of own ego.

No... the screen will auto-adjust to max brightness on the QR Code / Bar Code screen...
Tried again paying in TGV, it works... I saw that guy scanned much further away...
Some retailer scanned it very near to my phone...
*
Then it's the staff's fault, probably the camera from the terminal was not in focus cuz it was too close with your phone screen or your qr code wasn't in the frame.

Nope, the staff was indirectly saying "I dunno how to use".

It's a typical excuse from ignorant staffs, don't know how to use but blame on the system instead. I would actually forgive if the staff is honest enough and admit it, but a big no to their BS excuses.

Tuesday shake still ongoing. Actually you can get the promo information via:
fb page
boost Q&A (app and web available)
Since Xmas and NY falls on Tuesday, they will shake on Wednesday instead for 2 times.

QUOTE(supersoniccc @ Dec 25 2018, 09:14 PM)
If my memory does not fail me, cashback which will be credited on Sunday will be moved to Monday, and some cashback will need more than one day to be processed so no harm to wait until monday noon..?

They have posted the boost locations on their webpage for some time:

#Victor said this week's weekly shake has been moved to Wednesday which is tomorrow.

Btw, just spent RM 29.80 on Madam Kwan and got RM 1 shake. Adding up the ones I spent during the past few days, hope I can at least get RM 50 this time, like please, I'm broke af.

Don't think they have time for that, there are still tons of things to be fixed in our country. But turning our country into a cashless society is one of their goals, let's hope it will happen in the near future, as we're still taking baby steps.

China is the role model when it comes to that.

I spent around RM230 for payment on taobao and got only RM2 shake reward. Hopefully to get the weekly shake too before it is gone although I never have the luck to get it before this.

Btw, there’s this RM25 cashback for payment above RM200 on taobao using boost and normally when will they credit the cashback?
*
Don't think there's an exact timing on when will Boost give out the cashback, it could take 1 day, and in some cases could be 2, based on what I experienced from their previous cashback promotions. Also, you can always send them a message if you think it's taking too long, as in, more than 1 day.

Btw, good luck on getting the weekly shake, let's hope that the amount is gonna be generous before it ends.

What xperiaDROID suggested doesn't prevent you from "prefer sharing instead of pointing out personal opinions"?

I've done my part, if he still doesn't listen or understand, then it's his problem.

If the mod finds out, then it is gonna be how it is. smile.gif

I'm just curious, what made you guys try Kiplepay? They're like the most passive e wallet around with little to no promos, and little to no merchant acceptance, even Mcash joined the game with others although not with attractive promos but it's there and they're trying.

Should've looked at the ratings and comments before setting your foot in Kiplepay, it just sucks, most likely will be phased out in the future.
