Won't get the benefit of good exchange rates then..

CAN! I did that! You just opt out of Paypal auto conversion (there's a sneaky little link there) and choose to pay in foreign currency rather than the RM converted rate.

My Paypal auto-conversion rate for SGD100 was RM313....... BP rate was RM296. HUGE difference.

Amazon don't accept Paypal.
So still back to square one to use bigpay.

Can probably buy amazon gift cards with paypal via Bigpay I guess.
Paypal is evil. It took me few tries to disable auto conversion.
The menu is so hidden, I can't even recall where it is now.

Yepp, buy the gift cards via Paypal (with BP, turn off auto conversion).

I used to do that for PBB swipe promos.

to those who had problem to pay Shopee by using BigPay card, you may try again now. should be able to work

i just noticed that Shopee has changed their payment gateway to ipay88. and the merchant bank is public bank.

when i made payment at shopee just now, i noted that all my previously saved card info was wiped out, and i have to add  to card information one by one again. i successfully added my bigpay card, it pre-authorized RM1 during the process

Thanks for the update! I added mine successfully too and yes, all my previous cards are gone.

Hi, may I know if sign up the online acc, can pay the monthly installment for other policy which is not belong to the online acc owner? Eg. If the wife is policyholder, can husband pay for wife online?

My bro go to prudential office to update BigPay card as autodebit for his policy n also wife policy, but, the CS told him not sure the autodebit can go through or not coz prudential only accept card issued by banks, not tunemoney which is not bank..

Each policy holder can have online account and make payments through there.

In my case, both my husband and I have accounts. We use BigPay to pay online through our accounts. Very straight forward.

Try 2nd time to top up from ambank credit card, failed again. sad.gif

My SCB (2 different cards) failed since 10. Ambank also failed. Yesterday morning I topped up using Ambank successfully and have always used SCB in the past. Dunno what's wrong.

Ended up topping up via HSBC which worked.

I recall reading about someone posting that their balance did not tally with their listed transactions, and just wanted to share my own experience.

I track my own expenses via Excel and compare against the listing on the app.

Last Thursday I bought MacD from the self-order and pay machines, for RM22.60. Until now it hasn't shown up on the app, but my balance has been reduced by this exact amount. This is the first time I've got a "non tracked" transaction, but wanted to check whether anyone else had a similar experience.

Yup. My ticket purchase for MAS Airline was auto split into two.
shown only 1 pax fare immediately on 27/6 and another 1pax fare yesterday.
same goes to the BIG point

I also had this "auto split" for KLM last month (mine was 3 passengers), but all transactions were posted together.

My BP card got declined twice at a restaurant CIMB terminal at 4pm (message said system unavailable), but now balance has been deducted twice. Super annoyed.

Ended up paying with another card but hope BP returns my money!

Happened to me before. The fund will be released in 1 week + when the merchant doesn't claim.

Thanks. Today I was so frustrated with App downtime, card rejection and not being able to see my balance that I just withdrew RM1,500 from ATM. Cash better than a questionable card.

Not sure if it's an official bank but the name on the slip stated 'Raphael's Bank'

Interesting, check out their FAQ

https://www.raphaelsbank.com/atms/faqs/

Looks like they are an ATM service provider and also specialise in dispensing foreign currency. They may have applied their dynamic conversion automatically?
