QUOTE(Human Nature @ Apr 24 2021, 11:23 AM) 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? Alternatively buy Shell RM30/50 voucher at Fave, pay by Boost or Amex.

QUOTE(cybpsych @ Apr 28 2021, 04:47 PM) i have balance RM16.xx. not good enough for Boost definitely they are able to differentiate the "source of fund". however, wallet balance doesnt really show the segregation. ... eg if I have mixture of fund sources (debit card, FPX, credit card), how much actually "usable" for SSPN?  Use online banking to top up Boost lo, minimum RM200 to win RM100 Lazada voucher.

QUOTE(!@#$%^ @ May 4 2021, 10:50 AM) i believe need fees as well. also i think they will be able to detect abnormal transactions for these merchants. they are not very bright, but not stupid either. lol 0% charge for small traders. But don't do it too frequent, and use own accounts. This post has been edited by ClarenceT: May 4 2021, 10:54 AM

QUOTE(BacktoBasics @ May 4 2021, 11:03 AM) I topped up 1.8k into Boost and I am unable to invest to my OPUS investment. So should I wait to enable function to transfer out to bank account? Anytime soon?or Close Boost account? I see not much use nowadays since I use TNG. Any advise? I worry next time if I need to revisit a possibility to reopen a boost account under my name... dont know will have issue or not Not so soon, I believe the fund must be from debit card or online banking. It will be easier if you spend at Lazada (eg bill payment), Pos Automated Machine @ Pos Malaysia (eg pay TNB) or get your friends to help if they have a DuitNow QR (Merchant) account.

QUOTE(BacktoBasics @ May 4 2021, 11:32 AM) yeah man... i think so.... nowadays i use TNG more often.... boost rarely due to the vendors or shops or restaurants I frequent..... maybe better to close after all... Ya you can use Boost and TNG Wallet at Duitnow QR merchants (I scan QR only) as well. Boost / Maybank QR Pay merchants are changing their merchant QR to Duitnow QR format, but not sure if TNG wallet merchants are changing to new Duitnow QR format as well.

QUOTE(kakikopiluwak @ May 17 2021, 01:37 AM) I wonder if they are still in 3rd place. My guess is that Boost is now 4th, as ShopeePay would have over taken them. So much more cashback on ShopeePay compared to Boost Don't assume ya just because you got addicted to ShopeePay. Not representing the majority. For offline transactions, still a lot of people in the market using Boost, especially in East Malaysia. Not many people in Sarawak are having a TNG wallet account or Shopeepay account or Grabpay account, but SarawakPay and Boost are popular. Very few merchants in Kuching accept TNG wallet, Grabpay or ShopeePay. This post has been edited by ClarenceT: May 18 2021, 07:43 AM

QUOTE(KCY3701 @ Nov 2 2021, 05:01 PM) The new Boost rewards are not attractive anymore. I was thinking to switch entirely to other e Wallets. I know Bank transfers are not allowed anymore and the only way to withdraw is to close account? No other way? Want to pay bills - Unifi, Astro, Postpaid mobile except Maxis, Petronas Fuel voucher, mobile reload, Air Selangor, Air Pulau Pinang, Indah Water? Use your Boost credit at your Lazada App! If you can spend RM1000 in 1 month, you can save RM200 with voucher club (initial investment RM25). Or get your friend who has a DuitNow QR merchant account to help you, use Boost to pay DuitNow QR merchants. This post has been edited by ClarenceT: Nov 3 2021, 09:57 AM

Don't overpay too much at Boost App, if TNB is added to Lazada (Boost, TNG wallet, Lazada Wallet, Amex) or Shopee (ShopeePay) or Presto.

QUOTE(thongchanthai50 @ Dec 9 2021, 04:21 PM) Good job, Boost. UNIONPAY QR YEAR END CAMPAIGN fully redeemed on 2DEC. but still posted it on Media Social after tat. Updated T&C about gt limit after tat oso.  Surprisingly Boost kept quiet in Oct-Nov, only Gopayz and Bank of China (Malaysia) were promoting this campaign. Not many people knew it otherwise they might not buy ShopeePay-Petron vouchers (RM4 CB min RM15, less than 40% discount by Boost, Gopayz and BOC).
