Is this new regulation?
Early Feb I made payment to 2 different TNB account on the same day.
Both the payments were reflected in MyTNB app within 30 mins.

the lobang all gone after ringgitplus posted a blog teaching ppl how to pay tnb bills using e-wallet.

Pay with tng ewallet have NO BENEFIT AT ALL.
boost/Grabpay at least got coins/points to redeem.

We talk about long term sustainable return (Coins/points redemption) , not this kind of occasional promotion with limited cashback giveaway.

Yes there is. Example is the remaining bill payee that still accepts Boost/Grabpay, like water bill, telco bill etc.
I just feel bad for the cease of tnb in epay. However, life has to go on. Cheers.

Think about it.

When the promo ended, there will be no cashback paying bills at 7-11. Why not just save the hassle and pay inside mytnb app instead?

However, If you have credit cardb(eg. public bank quantum MasterCard, Stanchart Liverpool etc) that earns you cashback for e-wallet reload trxn, then yes by all means go ahead pay the bill at 7-11 using ewallet.

Oh ya, you are right.
This is very good example.

Conclusion is, use the ewallet only when the 7-11/ewallet promo gives you greater reward than credit card alone.

You're right.
If there are double or even triple benefits, of course go for the greater one.

So, you admit that when there is No benefit, you also won't want to go to 7-11 right?

Smart move
Have a good day Sir.

When you reload Gopay using Boost, is it a scan/pay or a transfer trxn?

I see. So it is a "payment" indeed.
Have you done any bill payment yet? Is the payment updated quick enough?

It is ok for me to make payment in round figure.
Thanks for your valuable information.

morning 10am made a tnb payment, until now still not reflected in mytnb apps. Quite scary

Your payment took more days than mine.
So 3 days is pretty normal right?
Coz all my previous payments were reflected in mytnb apps within 1-2 hours. That's why this time (took >24 hrs) I am a bit worried.

Previously Also elinking. That time update within 1-2hrs.

To elinking users,
bill payment now got 2% service charge or RM1 (whichever higher).
i just utilized all my remaining credits to pay tnb. Sayonara.

by the way, it's still a good alternative for Boost users (who face difficulty to maintain Level 4) , given that tnb bills represent a big portion of monthly expenses.

Lucky you.
Yes i used App credit. Now no more handling fee waiver even though using their app credit.

By the way, i suppose you also know that each successful bill payment will entitle for 1 lucky spin. I usually got the RM0.80 voucher. Can help offset partially service charge, better than nothing right. Cheers.

Now i checked back the finalized trxn details. It didn't charge me handling fee. My bad.
I keep thinking i was charged, probably because the last screen (before proceed to payment) show me the handling fee. If I recall correctly previous trxn were not like this, that time the screen showed waived fee (instead of 2%).

Thanks for head up. I went back to check trxn details, indeed no service charge.

You can try make a payment see got fee or not.

Thanks for reminder.
Immediately paid RM52 and used the voucher to get RM2 off.
