2nd attempt at paying thru boost failed too!

this time at 99 speedmart, USJ 9 - cashier said there's no machine there! sweet & simple...

how to boost the confidence in using boost to pay??? :confused:
*
Would advise you to search for 99 speedmart in this topic, quite a few talked about it in few pages back. It's more to merchant's issue than Boost's themselves.

Also, please read the third post in first page.

Btw, sorry to hear that, but it's a usual problem that you will experience sometimes when using e wallets here.

You need to select EFT at the screen to make payment using boost at Tesco

Wonder why they can't come up with a clearer name instead of EFT...

Not everyone knows what's EFT, even I have no idea what's EFT

Electronic Fintech Transactions?

EFT is actually a correct term isn't it? Electronic fund transfer

I see... biggrin.gif

But shouldn't they name the section as "E wallet" or "Mobile payment" instead?

Sorry man, thread is already in V2. Previous thread got out of hand sometimes so it needs a proper discussion thread in a proper section

Maybe you can open one for casual talk in /k.

Finally Watsons is Boosted!

Hopefully Guardian will follow soon. rclxms.gif

Btw just tried paying with Boost in Regiustea just now, cashier said "cash only" and then I asked why, she said "our machine is broken".

Not sure if it's legit or not, but if it's not, that's a whole new level of excuse. biggrin.gif

I paid using Boost at Regiustea Sunway Velocity, accepted without any problem.

My previous experience with Regiustea when paying Boost was flawless as well, I'll just accept their reason for this time then.

But one stupid habit from merchants here, if can't use, then they should've placed a sign showing that it's not available.

I think they just got Boosted recently...

But I really like the sudden announcements of new merchant accepting Boost...

If I remember correctly, it took them like 3 working days to successfully transfer the money to my bank account.

Not sure about now though, it's been a while since I've done cash out.

Even the normal mom and pop stationery shop near my place is Boosted! biggrin.gif

Btw there's something Boost has to improve on, which is the sensitivity level for shaking rewards...

Every time when I wanna show the "Success" screen to confirm my payment, I gotta be careful and close the pop up cuz even a slight movement can trigger the shake, it's just too sensitive.

Why do u need to show ur success to cashier? Isn't that they should check on their account instead? If they never check their account live, one can simply create a dummy app to show success screen
*
That's what I've been doing since the day I started using Boost actually, already used to it...

And that's what people are doing in China as well.

But I totally agree on the dummy app part.

Would like some pictures of this mom and pop stationery shop. I don't see any near my place.

Too bad 7-11 and family mart no boost yet.
*
What kind of picture lol? It's just a small ordinary stationery shop, not the big ones.

Doubt 7-11 is gonna accept Boost anytime soon cuz they still gotta stick with Razer Pay even if nobody uses it, but I'm hoping for Familymart.

Hope that Jaya Grocer will accept Boost too. They recently started accepting TnG e-wallet, maybe it's because CIMB is their merchant acquirer.
*
Since their terminal is CIMB, and it supports e wallet, the scanner should probably be GHL like the one in Tesco I guess?

Other e wallets should be supported soon.

QUOTE(David83 @ Nov 28 2018, 09:59 PM)
GHL is the CC POS manufacturer.
Same as Watson but the bank acquirer is MBB.

GHL extension barcode scanner should be able to support Scan & Pay method of e-wallet.

It's the big batlle between the two as of now: Boost (Axiata) vs TnG e-wallet (TnG Digital + ANT Financial).
*
Boost vs Grab vs TnG

QUOTE(Neptern @ Nov 28 2018, 10:19 PM)
Store front with boost sticker? Guess i have a fetish lol.

Razerpay i think is a bit dead? 7-11 accepts alipay so the system is definitely there to support boost or tng e wallet.

Familymart i thought one time i saw the cashier scanning some qr code though. Probably alipay.
*
No Boost sticker outside, but was surprised to see the lovely red qr code sign at the counter, maybe they just got it setup today.

Here's a funny thing...

I went to the shop this morning, and was wondering if they will ever accept Boost so wanted to ask the boss about it but decided not to cuz I was lazy to ask and then explain in case he doesn't know. But then I went there again earlier tonight and saw the qr code at the counter lol...

It's like they can read minds. biggrin.gif

Finally found a 99speedmart outlet that accepts boost in Kajang. They are using an app called WalletZ to scan the barcode

Is it the one near Plaza Metro Kajang?

All 99speedmart eWallet are powered by WalletZ, it clearly stick on the front door entrance.

Nope, they already removed that sticker from all of their outlets, what's left now is the Boost sticker.

Haha no, just happen to be passing by there sometimes.

Tried using it in the outlet near Plaza Metro Kajang before, a few seconds of blur face and a reply of "ada problem" is the response I got from the poker face cashier.
