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

Enforcement depends on reporting...

QUOTE(xperiaDROID @ Nov 26 2018, 11:13 AM)
Doubt BNM is even sincere to make our society go cashless, this issue has been persisting for ages now.

Even if you wanna report a merchant, it's unpractical and troublesome, a waste of time.

If users feel 'unpractical and troublesome' to spend maybe 5-15 minutes making a call or sending an email, then what you expect BNM to do? People prefer to complain on forum thread and at mamak store.

Yup I'm using both too.
Also, we need to consider when a merchant accept both Boost and Fave, do we want to:-

1) Use Fave with Amex
2) Use Fave with Boost
3) Use Boost

I'm not sure if using Boost directly will get better shake, but I would like to believe so. Boost definitely cannot afford to give similar shake reward if tied to Fave, too many levels of CB already. Probably someone can share when using some of these options and we can compare. So far, from my usage, Fave with Boost gets very low shake.

Yesterday my lunch was FavePay with Boost, 19 ringgit spend and RM1 shake....

How long does it take for Boost to deposit the RM5 CB when paying for Fave using Boost? The link below says next business day but it's already 3pm now. hmm.gif

Yes imagination but not without basis. Maybank does take actions when things get out of hand

And the advantage to Maybank to disallow transfer of money into their accounts is....? If suddenly Barcelona card unable to top-up Boost then I understand the motivation la....

Boost can barely load when it's on 2G speed, they should really improve on this...

What if ppl run out of data and can only use 512 kbps?
*
This applies to almost every internet-connected app. Only whatsapp and similar chat apps can work on such low speeds, and they're still really slow and can only do the text at those speeds.

Blame the telco.

If some people are gonna use this method to abuse the system, then I think it's not a good idea.

Anyone can be lurking in this thread, even Boost team does lurk in here sometimes, so if you want these cashback to stay, then better not make it obvious and just let it remain how it is.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
*
Boost (and bank) have full visibility on transactions. If something is costing them money they will know about it and won't need to browse random threads on various forums for that information.

Eventually all benefits will change/remove. But new benefits will arrive. Just use what you're comfortable with and within TnC.

Can’t top up using Amex today. Yesterday topup 2k can. Ask the CS they just reply boost not accept Amex at the moment. How to solve?
*
Don't trust CS so much. Based on previous reports in this thread certain accounts may get 'soft blocked' from topping up. Mostly affecting those who topup large amount and then transfer out (based on previous reports).

What's the easiest way to find places near you that can accept Boost payment? The in-app list got no map and you have to find out one by one where those shops are (also nearer shops aren't listed first).
