Anyone got the BFCM RM 5/RM 15 cash back already?

Paid RM 70+ got RM 1. Then paid RM 17+ got RM 0.20. Never before got RM 0.20 for paying > RM10. Shake reward really getting lower

I also spent at Mak Chee >RM15 on 26th, hopefully can get RM 5. Boost + Fave really the best combination, I'm a super heavy Fave user, now with Boost payment, it's really heaven.

So good I still haven't received anything yet. I hope still have quota when I spend

Just got my CB from 25th spending, but 26th spending not yet get.
Didn't know got that football game thingy, got all the tier discount except the football game

Boost shake through Fave payment is close to useless. Spent RM 16 from FavePay using Boost, got RM 0.10. How ridiculous. Have been getting RM 0.50, 0.20, 0.10 lately.

Fave merchant cashback also quite useless unless you plan to repeat the same merchant within the next 1-3 months. I.e if you spend RM 15, if 5% Fave merchant CB means only RM 0.75, will anyone repeat visit just because of the RM 0.75?

Not saying Fave is not good, I use Fave the most (it's super good if they have attractive offers). But what I'm saying, if you have better credit card CB option, need to reconsider using Fave+Boost especially if your amount is huge. Don't be misled by the double dip CB from Fave+Boost

Boost and BP don't accept Amex. Also, I do maintain some balance between withdrawal and spending from Boost & BP. Just for example, say if I spend 2k per month for Boost and withdraw 2.5k. I'll maintain that, rest of the pmt I'll use credit card. I'll still want some withdrawal benefit than spending too much on Boost + BP.

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.

Sharing my recent Fave pmt with Boost (I have lots of it, but only can see the recent few):-

FavePay - 4.95%, 1.2%, 0.65%
FaveDeal - 5%, 4.55%, 4.55%, 4.55%, 3.03%, 1.82%

I think we get less with FavePay, but that's just my thoughts.

p/s: Don't forget you get lucky pick with CB after pmt with FaveDeal (FavePay doesn't entitled to it), many might miss out because once you exit the screen, you will not get back the lucky pick already. My above example excludes the lucky pick from FaveDeal.
So probably conclusion is, FaveDeal is much more worth it to use with Boost.

You win liao haha, my lowest RM 0.10

They award different margin for different products, so far I think TM is one of the highest. Lowest should be FavePay

Same here. They said again system error. They keep having such error recently

I also received about same time

Same here, 2 accounts in my house kena. Started to be really suspicious if this is intentional. Rather than imposing rules on withdrawal/top up, probably they generate some reports and target certain accounts?

Seems funny that they allow the cash to be transferred (else maybe ppl will complaint to BNM etc) but then ppl can't make another transfer so soon. Let's see how long the take to "solve" the issue

Saw the shake notification, then opened Boost. My balance was RM 1,435, so I was like, heck, more than enough to credit the reward. Then after shake, error "over limit" message. Was so excited, means that rewards is >RM 65.

Voila, got my second RM 150 shake. So it's 2/2 now, both shake RM 150. First shake I remembered I spent only once about RM 20. Second shake I spent quite a lot, more than 10 transactions with total amount about 400+

Quickly transferred RM 100 to my friend's Boost account, as I was worried suddenly the shake reward changed or becomes invalid.
Then I shake again, and successfully got the reward

I couldn't be bothered about whatever tnc, saw RM 3 just grabbed max 2 vouchers haha, since can keep until May 2019

Very true, I think it's clear enough can redeem any movie any day. Worst case, just RM 3, it's lots of savings and plenty of time to utilise.

Very common, I encountered so many times before, they simply close the case. They even ignored me for few days after I questioned them why closed the case

Last time bought FavePay cash voucher for Breadstory, then the balance tried to pay with FavePay, staff said cannot. Doesn't make sense to me too that time, I'm still paying the balance, why can't I use FavePay to pay.

I used Boost at Caring Pharmacy that day, staff showed unhappy face, long queue too. Actually the problem still lies with the integration/hw/ease of use. It's indeed quite troublesome actually, she used a separate device to scan, then I key in pw, then printed ticket from device, then key in the code into her cashier terminal, then cashier terminal printed another receipt. All in all few receipts printed, it's indeed very messy lor, they should make it much more seamless and easier for staffs. E-payment should be faster and more convenient, if it takes so long, staff and other customers also will be frustrated too

They were couple of times at Healthlane, where the Boost scanner failed to print the receipt. Without that, they unable to key in the code to their cashier terminal. So they were trying hard to find out how to reprint (the device really not friendly, I helped to to find it, quite hard too). Also, they have to manually select Boost as payment option too at the cashier terminal. It's really not friendly, but of course some integration really seamless

I thnk they want us to use, just they unable to control their staffs reaction/attitude.
As management (including Boost), they should also look into how to make things simple for everyone

Thanks for sharing, really didn't know it. Bought twice already last month but just paid with credit card.

I got the shake twice and both also RM 150. But my other family members not so lucky. Total 3 more accounts, all also got spend, but so far only 1 account got shake and RM 10 only

At least now it's proven that it's really random and it's possible

Maybe that's the purpose haha, to confuse us to simply spend the wrong amount and not getting anything. No need 50% lor, I rather say min spend RM 10 and get RM 2 in cash back for all merchants. Easy.

This is always my biggest concern and I think one of the biggest disadvantage. It's so risky, I'm normally very careful and check everything every week. But sometimes I forget to check, or I've too many transactions, then those not verified ones got deleted.

Main concern is when I top up and withdraw, I need to verify if my credit is charged correctly, and if my withdrawal has been successful

17% CB not that bad
