Tried to use Boost at PKPS Cafe in Sunway Velocity, but the cashier said no cuz "machine broken"...
Funny thing was I came here like couple of days ago and it was fine... Ended up using Bigpay, but the card terminal couldn't even do Paywave, only PIN. This post has been edited by xperiaDROID: Dec 7 2018, 08:56 PM |

QUOTE(talexeh @ Dec 7 2018, 10:51 PM) I wonder what they'll say if you tell them you don't have any cash or card with you. I'll probably go full blast mode if they even refuse to let me pay by card, but since they let me pay by card, it's still acceptable...I was at TGV this morning & told them I wanted to use TnG eWallet. The counter lady told me that I can only use TnG eWallet if I wanted to buy 2-ticket-for-1-price promotion but I was there alone. She asked for cash or card & I told her I only have eWallet so it's either TnG eWallet or Boost. Unfortunately Boost was down so she went behind the counter, talked to some guy & finally agreed that it's possible to use TnG eWallet to pay for a single ticket. I guess sometimes you gotta pressure them a bit or else they'll be adamant in coming up with lame excuses.   But I surely hope what that cashier said was true (also looks like a new dude there but the senior was there as well), the Boost terminal indeed wasn't at the counter which it was around a couple of days ago, and they did indeed covered the big Boost sticker at the counter, only saw the RM 1,000,000 cashback thingy sticker on the POS system... I'll pay them a visit again soon, if still the same problem, then it's time to stir things up. Btw, your case with using TnG in TGV is worse, they're seriously treating TnG as some sort of coupon redemption app instead of an e wallet, that's just ridiculous. QUOTE(#Victor @ Dec 7 2018, 11:53 PM) They expect everyone must have sufficient cash with them. Same experience at Absolute Thai where the cashier told machine spoilt and not even trying, just waving the terminal in hand said not that he don't want to let us use, maybe he was right, who knows. End up no choice paying cash also Why not use card though? |

QUOTE(#Victor @ Dec 8 2018, 11:11 AM) The cashier face already turn dark, since amount only RM30+ and ppl queuing behind. He purposely speak loudly the amount like hinting 'it's only RM30 and pls pay by cash and there are ppl queuing ppl u wanted to pay' which make me feel embarrassed. Ya know it's their fault and not yours, so why toletate?QUOTE(car_computer @ Dec 8 2018, 11:51 AM) it is not about boost only, but i have similar encounter with a merchant’s staff who treated ewallet as promotion card/app Ah yes, the "know-it-all staff", which speaks on behalf of the company and thinks they know what they're talking about.recently i went to eggette lab mid valley to have the mobile buy 1 free 1 promotion. i saw TnG ewallet sticker at the counter. when i wanted to pay Rm8.60 for the item using TnG ewallet, the cashier immediately told me that promotion item must be paid by cash only. i told her ewallet is also considered one of the cash payment methods, but she argued that i cannot pay “ promotion with promotion ”. haha alright, i just paid with cash since there was a queue behind me. i passed her Rm100 note and she said she didnt have small change. i told her that’s the only cash i had, then she reluctantly changed the money for me. |

QUOTE(#Victor @ Dec 8 2018, 04:07 PM) If not how? Insist want to pay cashless and make urself embarrassed? The cashier is the outlet manager as well, he just trying to make the payment process faster. It won't be any faster when the cashier is the one who's dragging it, that's why I hate staffs like this...I just wanna enjoy my meal and pay, why make it so hard for us customers? In the end it's us who's listening to their commands. |

QUOTE(talexeh @ Dec 8 2018, 07:17 PM) I think we Asians tend to avoid any confrontation as much as possible, especially when it involves holding a number of people up. Anyway, I wouldn't say that there's right or wrong in this kind of scenario but at the end of the day, just do what you think is the right thing & you're good to go. QUOTE(theng168 @ Dec 8 2018, 09:07 PM) Nothing to be embarrassed about when the less smart one is not you to begin with. Very well said!You have to make it clear it's their problem not yours even in front of the long queue. So that they can learn, not just every time facing this kind of scenario, and give in. They won't learn and always use the same excuses. You want first world country, you have to educate and be first world citizen. QUOTE(alexanderclz @ Dec 8 2018, 09:39 PM) yeah, to make things simple, if merchants do not want us to use Boost, why bother advertising its availability? just make things easy and don't put any Boost stickers at all. It's not the merchant who doesn't want to, it's their employee. |

QUOTE(Ben Ling @ Dec 9 2018, 02:43 PM) i don't think we'll get to win the cashback anymore since more and more users are participating and there are a lot of promotions going on. I will, cuz I only won once which is RM 10.  |

QUOTE(jfleong @ Dec 10 2018, 07:15 PM) Should split into a few transactions, different accounts if possible. You sure you wanna do that in a supermarket?Imagine RM20++ each times maybe 6 accounts, you are entitled to the lucky draw on each of those accounts Plus rumour here is that multiple small transactions give better shake rewards than one large transaction This post has been edited by xperiaDROID: Dec 10 2018, 07:22 PM |

Spend at least RM 100 on any transaction type till December 20th and chance to win 2 gifts. QUOTE(talexeh @ Dec 11 2018, 09:34 AM) Pretty sure it's not updated in their T&C yet.

QUOTE(tonytyk @ Dec 11 2018, 10:49 PM) Is this for weekly shake reward? Is this available for all who have spent at least RM20 last week? Yes, and you'll be entitled if you spend at least a total of RM 20 accumulatively or more.As for getting the reward, it's random. |
