Still hooked up with Boost?  tongue.gif

Now just accumulating coins to the next best conversion for cash voucher.

Slowly phasing out Boost too because there are tons on shopee coins to use before they expire, the expiry date is too short doh.gif all my bills can now be paid using Shopee too.

My experience with boost is ... better use all the boost coin to avoid devaluation again ~
last time they give cash
then give coin with 1 to 1 ratio
then coin is 110 coin to RM 1 ratio
then now is worth 200 coin to Rm 1　？

Agree. Being able to pat TNB using Boost/Pos app was a short-lived joy. Aother thing I dislike is, the redemption catalogue depletes and have to wait long for it to replenish.

You can pay TNB via ShopeePay <-- reload using TnG to enjoy 10% from TnG and RM 3 from ShopeePay daily cashback. Ez

Eh, TNB is not listed as a biller in Shopee

QUOTE(GrumpyNooby @ Feb 25 2021, 03:01 PM)
You meant: You can pay TNB at PAM via ShopeePay
*
Right. How I wish PAM is reliable. Else I would use Boost for TNB at PAM too.

Partner Wallet refreshed.
Indeed looks like Bonuslink redemption more worth, only managed to redeem 10 times and option is gone.

Bonuslink option is still available to me. Maybe they limit to 10x per user

Is anyone fail to make bill payment using Boost? It pop out message that Refund in 10 minutes.

When exit and launch Boost again, it will display Could not connect to server? Still unable to make bill payment as it will display failure and refund in 10 minutes message.

I faced that when I paid using PAM last week or so. I received notification that the transaction did not go through. Already deducted from the amount and PAM said successful, so I just ignore the notification. False alarm.

They need to revamp the reward system

- coins redemption is very troublesome, need to wait for it to replenish
- very few missions and not attractive
- no direct discounts when making bill payments
- no incentive for scan and pay

Luckily now still able to use boost to pay for TNB at PAM, else I will be long gone.

What you had highlighted is indeed what I observed how they reduced their 'lose' to reward system over time and with that I also stopped using it EXCEPT for insurance payment which the other e-wallet do not support, or even if supported, with no reward, like Prudential, car insurance companies

If Shopee not giving perks for bills then I will also pay Unifi using Boost because only them giving something although very petty now

Other merchants, don't really bother to use Boost now

Actually was thinking how can I free Unifi up, like if I could pay using paywave PBB QV at tmpoint but till now seems can't
*
I don't have Unifi bills, but like other bills, I have long migrated to Shopee. Can use Shopee coins to offset directly. Boost was attractive when it allowed direct coins to cash conversion. Even for topping up Telco prepaid, Shopee gives direct discount.

When it comes to scan and pay, most of the time I will end up with CC (wave using PBB QV) because I consider Boost as 'online cashback credit card'

Shopeepay is giving direct cashback via the offline voucher too.

So it is like cashback based CC versus reward points CC all over again.

Boost merchants now begin to change their QR plates to Duitnow QR format. I can use TNG wallet and Grabpay to pay at Boost merchants. But there are still some outlets need to scan my Boost QR, so I still keep some credit in my Boost accounts.

Some of you may be curious why I don't use a credit card to swipe at the merchants to earn higher cashback. I collected some merchant QR, I can easily pay from home, save petrol and parking cost and time, and no face-to-face interaction.

So no bye-bye to Boost yet.  tongue.gif

I found out that my nearby shell has boost payment option otc. I guess we need to inform the amount to pump and pay with boost first and full tank is not possible, correct?

Can buy Setel RM100 @ RM96 (more or less) on some special days, 25% by coins (eg you spend RM13 to get 1550 coins) and  75% by M2Amex (2/7 chance the special day on Sat/Sun). Savings >10% at Petronas!
*
OT: On certain sales, can use 500 coin voucher (this voucher is very elusive!) for RM96 PGC, then add with 5% from CC Shopee reload. I still have several PGC as keep buying to use up Shopee coins, so no chance to use Setel yet sweat.gif
