Not really a supporter of Fave.
But a lot of F&B in Penang accepts Fave.
Try jumping to the bandwagon and let's see how it expands from here!

Boost in Finance section? I thought it will remain in /k because they don't want to move here? Anyway it's about time to have proper discussion here. smile.gif

How about other popular e-wallets like Fave, GrabPay and TnG e-wallet? Somebody should open too, I think currently Boost, Fave, GrabPay, TnG and WeChat Pay are the popular ones in Malaysia. hmm.gif
*
For TnG related discussion, we have two running threads at the sub-section of Credit Card/Debit Card/Loyalty Card.
I think no value of opening another separate for TnG e-wallet.

P/S: Just my 2 cents ...

Fave cash back is troublesome.
It has two types: general cash back and merchant specific cash back.

Caring pharmacy can also pay by boost now however seems that only 1 counter is able to process boost payment

Are they using smartphone or tablet?
If they're using CC terminal extension like GHL at Tesco, then more counters can support.

Just used boost at pak kin pak san cafe. Almost can't use because said the payment terminal hang during peak hours. Afterwards tried again then ok.

Not sure if this is a boost problem because the credit card terminal also same issue.

Could be their own cash register software hanged.

That's just pathetic lol, but I remember that Boost is strict about merchants imposing a minimal amount for their payment service, looks like someone from Boost taught them a lesson.

It's illegal to impose a minimal amount for every payment methods anyways, if they still dare to do that for cards, it means that BNM is not strict enough.

BNM needs to jack up their enforcement if they want their cashless roadmap and framework to be successful!

Boost x FavePay - Cashback Campaign
In conjunction with the integration between Fave & Boost,

You'll receive RM5 into your Boost wallet when you spend RM15 or more when you use Boost for your FavePay transactions!

Here's how it works:
Key in your total bill amount for payment on the Fave app
Select "Boost" as your preferred payment method
Confirm payment & key in your 6-digit pin
RM5 cashback credited to your Boost wallet the next working day
*
When this one started?
Targetted user?

Twice I encountered at The Chicken Rice shop at Nu Sentral Mall.
Upon payment , then only took out the payment terminal, power on, wait for it (like 5 minutes), login then pay. Luckily there was no customer queuing behind.

eWallet is supposed to make payment faster, but it has became the other way round.

Experience in Tesco was great though, scan it yourself!

At Tesco self checkout machine?
From the payment menu, how many square icons are there?
I saw 3 only.

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

EFT is one of the 3 square boxes shown at the Payment Method page?

EFT is the 2nd /middle icon at Payment Method page at self checkout counter. The same button you tapped for CC payment too.

Just tried my first experience of Boost/TnG Wallet at Tesco.
It wasn't a smooth and pleasant experience.

Tried on 1st booth. Always Error #97
The staff on duty asked me to switch to another machine.
The 2nd booth. Always re-connecting.
Then he called his supervisor. The supervisor restarted the CIMB POS.
Same problem: Always re-connecting. I asked if it's ready.
She said already got customer tried and successful before.
Then, she asked to go back to the 1st booth to try again but with prompt with Error #97.
Then, she restarted the CIMB POS and finally, the transaction went through.
I suspected could be the POS jammed or what.

Ask your friend to refer you.
You can get RM 5.

I forgot about that. I missed this.

The CIMB POS and their cash register system run independently.
If you get Error 97 on the CIMB POS, doesn't mean that their cash register system got problem.

Anyhow, from the CC printout, there's a CARDPAY by GHL under CIMB logo.
And, it stated TNGWALLET as the payment instead of conventional VISA/MASTERCARD/AMEX

Just now, I received a notification from Boost saying "Thank you for paying with Boost" and being rewarded with a Shake Reward.

The Shake Reward I got is RM 10.

I'm not sure where this reward came from?

But I thought that one needs to use the "Pay" function from Boost app.
I didn't use Boost app to pay.

Thanks but maybe because I rarely use the app.
Just now I'm getting more hyped as Tesco supported the payment and installed FavePay recently.
It's so fun to use Boost than use BigPay!
