My boost story @99Speedmart

spend RM1 @99Speedmart bought a RM1 coke to drink
phone vibrate with red banner and "zeezee sound" **feeling excited
press on the red banner
animation started
feeling really excited heart pumping super fast
animation almost end
from pressing the red banner till animation end tooks about 4 secs
finally ended a bright star + fake fire works blinking appears
using my palm cover my screen and slowly reveal the amount
moving 5mm by 5mm to slowly reveal the amount
eventually, manage to see a number that looks like 5
heart rate went up higher and higher as i thought it might be 50 cents
eventually remove my palm from my screen to fully reveal the number
too bad it was just 5 cents
heart rate immediately drop till almost flat
cursing on the way out

---THE END---

**hope you enjoy my story

Will you guys continue to use Boost given that the cash back is so little already?
*
yes.... even it was little at least it was better than you using just CC. cause on top of CC u got another layer of reward (might be little with assumption you were topping up Boost with CC) and some more the convenience of it to support numerous type of bill payment and transaction

well it mean the reducing step was an normal thing..... but from my 3 months of using Boost experience the shake reward is really going down start around the week before the system upgrade

QUOTE(ClarenceT @ Jun 16 2019, 02:32 PM)
Hehe. July & August 2018 spending RM2000, with 50% cashback. Now spending RM1000 monthly with lesser CB %.
Boost Mail - We've extended the campaign peiod SO MORE BOOSTIES CAN NOW BE REWARDED!
Hehe I continue with some stand-by basic accounts.
Just for bill payments and retail spendings. Eg Shell 2X RM5 per Boost account.
New Norm.
I am ready to grab as many as possible...  tongue.gif waiting...

wow that a high return from Boost to user..... but i am just joining it about 3 months ago

RM0.35 not normal for me. tongue.gif
Next week or end of month, we shall see. bruce.gif
This morning, i did a top up on my boost account with mission completed with no issue. I wonder was it the cause of your phone making it unable to complete boost mission? hmm.gif
MORE BOOSTIES - To me, this part makes it sound like any boost account that have yet to spend (2 time max). Guess i shall just stick to 2 times per boost account then. I still have one more time left. tongue.gif

Me too, ready for any pay bill mission bruce.gif
Just for fun and if user Competing against other user means spending more that would be benefit to boost, i guess. sweat.gif
*
haha what i mean were on the trend though
most probably next week as most of the bill would be coming out in these coming 3-5 days of time
yup..... i just done my topup mission yesterday and it goes well smoothly
i think that should be for those not yet do the spending (not for me as i seldom drive my car so no chance to use it yet)
for the competing part it might be true

I think Boost backend already hacked and owned. I just registed today and 10 minutes after that I got SMS with phishing link (faking Boost).

So here the question, how come the phisher got my number and know I have Boost account? Comfirmed, it must be leaking from Boost backend side
*
usually this type of financial related company won't be sending you any link that required you to input your id and password. so please be careful. as you would say it as phishing link that mean it just an fishing method to those who scare and input the confidential information

No need to cancel CC.
FCB VS still can give me 2%/10% CB and Amex gives 5%. On Unifi / Electricity (indirect way) / Shopping.

(Better than new shake reward scheme)
*
indirect?

QUOTE(blackrs @ Jun 17 2019, 01:38 PM)
Hi, can you share how you pay Electricity using AMEX with indirect way?
*

Use paybillsmalaysia.com to pay sesco, for my case. smile.gif

thanks for sharing. will it do for most of the bill?

QUOTE(Dexter @ Jun 17 2019, 01:54 PM)
With MBB start with this exclusion, I strongly believe it's way to counter e-Wallet threat over their credit card business.

More merchant using e-Wallet, means CC business is reduce. Now they want customer to use CC back.

What a war is that?

Customer seems at losing end when cash rebate (frm bank) & reward (frm e-wallet) is reducing coming few months.
*
lastly customer would be the victim of the war

i just boost in recent few weeks. so far havnt found any merchant that can accept boost but not cc at my place (or maybe got but the merchant wasnt in my regular expenditure).

basically i tried boost coz read in mbb2card thread that boost accept amex. so its really good news coz my amex cb always cant hit ceiling. but now since amex "dont accept boost" so its going back to normal.

the least reason for me to use boost
-if they can maintain min rm1 reward for rm50 payment n above.
-if they have some promo like spend 100 at tesco get rm10.
-when i maxxed out all of my cc cb quota
for sure uninstall straight away. if use boost = use cash i prefer use cash. unless 100% daily transaction can be made in boost then maybe shift to boost.

even using CC also due to CB offer. otherwise i dont bother. cashless is secondary reason.
care to explain a bit on the bold part?
*
if without any benefit from e-wallet and card..... i would rather go for cash which at least all my transaction would not be recorded and traceable by any bank or advertiser

QUOTE(zenquix @ Jun 17 2019, 04:39 PM)
Personally I have always expected the banks to turn the tap off (just that it is alot sooner than expected)

No. 1 issue is the cycle of funds to earn rewards / cashback as it does not make good business sense to anyone in the chain but the customer.
CC > ewallet > withdraw to bank account > CC

I don't think even BNM wants this loophole to exist. Now there are 2 options  - removed withdrawal or remove benefit. Whichone is easier?
*
even with remove of benefit, the allow for withdrawal still bring some benefit (for those small amount spender).

QUOTE(imap.cc @ Jun 17 2019, 05:36 PM)
Ahhhhh, too bad i cleared all ptptn for myself and wife last year to get 20% off, now cannot enjoy boosting debts anymore biggrin.gif
*
the 20% is worth more than the Boost shake reward itself.

QUOTE(propusers @ Jun 17 2019, 05:46 PM)
past 2 or 3 months use amex -> Boost -> Unifi / Astro / Syabas

next month should be amex -> Unifi / Astro via m2u portal bill payment

only concern is Syabas, which is under utilities category... 0% cash back...
*
for me the usage of AMEX mainly for electric and internet bill payment. the revision of the Maybank card benefit almost remove all the category i would use the card
