Sometimes can sometimes can't. Just successfully purchase something on lazada via BigPay

curious to know why you ask this? any specific reasons(s)?

Some CB is very time sensitive, so just want to be safe.
For Lazada ewallet, if topup b4 8am, it will become yesterday's transaction.

U registered Bigpay as one of the credit/debit payment card or 1-time use only?

I was make insurance payment via AIA website.

It required to key in bank of card, apparently there is no BigPay can be selected, I just key in BigPay and it went through

Regarding the card issuer, I did ask BigPay customer service by email

" Dear BigPay,
I like to know that sometime when I doing online transaction with debit / credit card, there is a column request for card issuing bank. What should I choose since BigPay is not a bank?
Regards"

This is the reply I got
"Hey Chai,

Noted on your enquiry. You must fill in the column for card issuer as "Tune Money Sdn Bhd or TPaay Asia Sdn Bhd". You can see the card issuer name printed behind your BIG PAY card.

Hope it is clarified!

Have a good day!

Regards,

DASA
The BigPay Team"

Hope that help.

It's saved in my account.

Behind the card I only see "Tune Money SB is now known as BigPay Malaysia SB"

Will try that.

On second thought is it safe to save a prepaid card in an online account?

If I get this correctly, topping up Bigpay card with cc will get cashback from cc, and using Bigpay for any purchase will collect Bigpoints. So is like double reward? Is this too good to be true? or the "gou shou" here all already earning double reward like nobody's business?

you do know topping up rate is rm50 = 1point and spending is rm20 = 1point right?

Yes BigPay offers potentially dual rewards from your credit card top up and use of Big Pay. Bear in mind, (for example) an AA one way flight from KUL to DMK (Don Mueang, BKK) will potentially set you back 10,500 points (excluding taxes).

Relying on BigPay points alone will potentially cost you over RM400k in spendings before you could benefit in this example. (RM400k - you might as well buy the ticket which is cheaper than to spend RM400k) So, please practice spending prudence - the points are just extra which serve as a reward for your regular spendings.

I see the benefit is when you spend in non MYR dominated spendings where BigPay uses a more attractive forex rate vs any other banks. (or even the money changer I think) However one would need to be mindful of the occasional occurrences where BigPay cards are rejected. So, don't throw/keep you credit card + debit cards just yet.

Tried to use to buy bus ticket on redbus.my but can't. Tried both credit card and debit card method also fail.

Btw, is this card a credit or debit card? Feature wise its a debit card, just wondering in actual when terminal detect it, is it credit or debit card.

it is prepaid card

I use cc to pay about 30k to my supplier of my sole prop business every month. now I'm thinking to top up using cc and use bigpay to pay for double rewards,

will I get flagged/suspended for such big payments?

That is weird, I have bought on redbus for two times already and it was successful

Very true advice and be mindful on spending.

Ic, during payment stage, u select pay via credit card or debit card or online banking?

Definitely not online banking, if no mistaken I select credit card, just fill in accordingly

U only can reload up to 10k each time if i not mistaken,if u wan pay 30k maybe u need reload 10k 3 time and swipe 10k 3 time.so far i had use 20k on last month,till now still haven see any problem on the card.
