Can't top up today - I guess they are improving their security

New user reporting in - hi everyone

Just wanted to share that I try using in Mr. Diy and the counter lady told me can only accept master or visa.

MR.DIY at Tesco Bukit Puchong
No Boost sign but i thought they all already link into their POS?

just to share this is what i notice, please add your comment if this is not true:

1. since the upgrade they are only allowing 1 credit account to tie to 1 boost account meaning if you have 2 (yourself + your girlfriend or wife or sister or ??) account you could only use that credit card in one of the account, basically is the same method that bigpay deploy to ensure same credit card cannot be tie to 1 or more account

same issue here

I feel that Boost support is not very responsive vs BigPay
BigPay when got issue chat with them they immediately respond

Not always checking each comment here

they implement too many crazy security feature eversince one of the user account got "hack"

those ppl that use their credit card that help to top up their mum, dad, gf, friend or whatever sure will have this problem of cannot add card cause they detect that your card is tie to more than 1 account

too many restrictions!

got RM10 when i wake up today from Lucky Lion Retention Reward which i have no idea about
I remember throw some oranges to feed the lion for quite some time already and now only they give the reward?

Yes i normally top up like RM200, RM500 this range
bad news is today i cant top up with my credit card at all
Boost is super ridiculous!!!
If i free i sure go up their office and talk to their customer service while calling to my bank on the other line
so bank can confirm is not bank fault but stupid Boost fault
no idea why today topup got issue

maybe they flag your account on suspicious activity like paying splitting payment of RM100 to 5 x RM20, some shop allow it
like i go makan chicken rice at my place with my family, the bill is like RM30, they allow me to pay RM10 x 3 times...
anyway my account also dying, top up with new card, old card, whatever card, all die
so now yet to try online banking, not sure will die or not
tonite go buy tealive then i try

my case is not multiple account, 1 account only but i pay multiple time to same merchant like my chicken rice scenario where RM30 i pay 3 times
when buy tealive for myself and gf, i will split it into 2 payment
when pay Unifi, i split into 3 payment
when top up hellogold, i split it into 5 times


i abuse the shake reward kawkaw!!

the TnC does not state that i cannot split my payment ma...
i am a typical salary man earning just enough to survive monthly and every cent also count
so abuse kawkaw la....
so now my account tie whatever credit card also die
RIP boost

so guys lesson learned here - pls dont abuse else end up like my case

RIP Boost for now maybe i try again next month

another thing i found out is that Boost does not charge the merchant any money for now till further notice, so not sure how Boost is funding their campaign

this is Malaysia la... ppl will think of a way to abuse it no matter what

the Razer Pay eWallet abuse even worst
seeing ppl buying stuff from 7-11 and post online and i am shock how can 1 person have like 20 numbers to open 20 Razer Pay account

If i am Boost boss / ceo i would propose the following:
1. Shake reward will only be honor once a day per unique merchant - this will stop/prevent abuser like myself
2. Withdrawal to bank can only be done once a week
3. Only verified Premium account can use credit card top up and credit card name and register name on IC should match - anything not matching please contact Boost
4. Small amount / any amount top up requires TACs
5. implement electronic KYCs like how BigPay is doing it

hope the CEO / Boss of Boost see this post

they adapt/evolve by implementing stupid rules and condition that only they know
is like go to play a game where nobody tell you what is the rules

i dont see anything wrong with the rules, it make more sense than just stopping their customer to use Boost, with this it stop all the abuse and life goes on

Boost unstable today

Boost x Bigpay = Card Not Charged
Boost x Dup Account = Card Not Charged
Boost x Online Banking = It works!
