Btw, there r 2 MAN cards - the old MAN WORLD and the (current) MAN plat.

i asked for new cards of both. Only the new MAN plat got the contactless symbol.

cause its visa..........

Nope. Both are MasterCard. Somemore my Rewards Card is a new renewed card which I've been using.

Nah will stick with my FEVO since I've successfully registered the card.

So far I have been successful with my MRT trips.

My theory is that there must be communication between the payment terminal and MasterCard.

On a moving vehicle out on the road, there could be a breakdown in communication, hence it might not work.

I'll be testing and trying to get my final free trip on a public bus tomorrow. But I will have my EZ-Link card on standby.

im using the scb unlimited cash card, registered at abt site, received confirmation email, went to GTM but when i place on the system, it doesnt show any option for me to switch to Use Back, instead the normal selection screen with the options "Add Value" "Activate Ez Reload" "Check Card" is shown. i tried to tap into mrt, it shows "insufficient value".

Same card,and exactly the same problem. May be gotta activate ezlink first for which I'm still waiting for the code.

I switched my everyday card to bank mode without any issue

I confirm that my POSB EVERDAY MC works on an SBS bus! :)

I just used it this morning for my final ( FREE!!) trip and it shows " Bank Mode".

This is really convenient coz I already have auto GIRO payments in place for my credit cards.

I shall keep my EZ link card on standby for now but eventually I shall return it for a full refund.
I am going to stick to "Bank Mode" only when this is officially rolled out. By then, I expect all the bugs to have been ironed out.


Is it normal if it works for MRT but not for BUS

Could it be the bus card reader? I encountered this on my first bus trip. Subsequently I used it for mrt and bus trips. No issue encountered till now

"Get $10 cashback* each month when you spend a monthly minimum of $10 on public bus and train rides with your eligible Standard Chartered Mastercard® Contactless Credit Card. Limited to $30 cashback per cardholder."

Is it applicable for sup card holders?

Wow free money! :eek:

I took mrt, then tranfer to bus thrice.

In the ABT website, the final fare listed only mrt and transfer to bus once.

I encountered a bug, but I am not complaining. :D
