Next time just scan their QR (if they ever display that) and make pmt straight, then show them already paid they cannot say no

It's good, previously before this they had I think RM 0.99 pack also, recall I only used the RM 8 off for the Alley.
Their merchants are all quite good unlike Maybank discount, 99% merchant unheard of.
But recent news that they're considering to spin off GrabPay worries me

https://www.thestar.com.my/tech/tech-news/2...inancial-times/

They're expanding too slow......

Enjoy the points while it last, sooner or later they will devalue the redemption points again.
The platinum status is too easy to achieve.

Foresee the following, once they grow substantial market share, now merchants still very limited, hence retail users also limited
- platinum status harder to achieve
- less points for spending (ie no more 20x)
- more expensive redemption

Yes it's not permanent, like I mentioned they can change many things, like changing 20x, or raise the bar to retain Platinum or just increase the redemption points

GrabPay is definitely more superior than Boost

Yes but need to calculate/top up so precisely?

I've never received the 20% + 20% as advertised, feel Grab promo sometimes damn confusing.

Spent at Coffee Bean and Chizu, both if not mistaken included in the 20% + 20%

Note: I have Pek Raya and haven't used at CB and Chizu before, hence by right, I should entitle for the 20%+20%

I hope they revise and provide better benefit, else if everyone is a Plat, there's no way they can give exclusivity
They used to arrange a monthly event/invite for Platinum, from super attractive Baskin Robbins redemption, slowly to lousy gym class, and now nothing for months already

And I thought they should reward Grab rides more, that's where their business started and where they grew their customer base. Moreover, it's their own business they should be able to award more, but seems that they have more margin from merchant or they want to aggressively capture market share in the e-wallet space first.

They still have problem with limited merchants, else even they increase requirement by 10x, I think people still can achieve

It's very shameful, such a big company which defeated Uber but so sucks in the rewards implementation/ integration.
They started with all those nonsense need to copy and paste code, sometimes need merchant to key in their code, but eventually decided no need "claim" the reward, just pay as normal to be entitled for the cash back.

Their feedback channel is equally super duper stupid. They will not entertain you through e-mail, they will insist you feedback through their app. But when you go explore their app for feedback, you will know what I mean

Yeah should be part of their service, hence they should at least give better points also

Haha we were just talking about this yesterday, doesn't matter to me.
They can reduce to 3x but if redemption etc also reduce accordingly to match that, which give us similar value then it's fine.
If no more value from Grab Points, then just use other e-wallets. Still many options out there

(I'm talking about spending at merchant, but if your frequency is grab ride and food, then really no choice still got to use)

Many rules unclear yet for the new reward system

They're all over the place now, update some, didn't update some, very confusing.
Not even sure if they know what they're doing

Too many free Grab food discount code already, so this one not attractive to me yet.
The coffee bean one more attractive, 200 points for RM 5 off

Can’t find a clear answer, posting this again (specifically for 2 cards Premier)

1) GrabPay Credits vs GrabPay Credit Card
Other than CB for certain credit cards during specific days, any reasons to top up max before 7th?

2) MCC/ Merchant description
So far I’ve only been using GrabPay Credits, and transaction posted as GrabPay Ecom SSL. Just wondering, for credit card, will it be the same, or it is posted as “direct” spending at the specific merchant, ie posted as Coffee Bean etc? I think if posted directly, will definitely still get CC points.

Some articles mentioned that direct CC not affected like Grab and Fave, but just want to confirm this

Have limited CC statements now, I will check tonight again.
Not sure about the MCC for Fave, but I manage to find one spending on Fave posted as Fave MY. So I guess, Fave will be affected too if it's all posted under Fave spending. Hopefully Grab is safe

I will test today, hopefully transaction get posted by 7th

Then I'm considered lucky, have been logging in and out 2 accounts on the same phone, touch wood haven't kena yet. But both accounts are legitimate under different user, just one is more active one less. Guess I better use different phones now
