Anyoone tried using YouTrip?

Dont convert to yen. Once you convert, very hard to top up because all transactions still pending for a few days.

Just let the card convert for you.

if i have both sgd and yen in my yourtrip card, when i make payment in japan, which one the payment will deduct from? SGD or Yen?

 

[eleutheromania]

Is the top-up immediate?

I have received and activated the card but have yet to top-up any value. I am intending to use it for my upcoming trip to Japan.

if the payment required is in yen.
any yen that is in your wallet is used up first.

the balance payment (if yen not enough), will be taken from SGD and you can see the conversion rate used.

Hi my YouTrip is tied to my POSB atm card, since I have data plan in my phone. Possible that I top up as and when I need the amount for payment? Here in Singapore. The top up instantly reflected. How about over there in Japan. As advise here, I not going to convert, going to top up as in sgd. thanks

 

[OnePunch!!]

So we need to add sgd first

 

[edixian]

Thanks

I am going to settle my hotel payment in foreign currency. Already know the amount. Should i exchange the exact amount to make payment for the bill or just top up in SGD and let it auto convert?

Cos i read below not recommend to convert and will take few days.

Yes need to top up first.

If i leave in SGD and let them convert, it will not have pending transaction? I can still top up daily my $3k limit without waiting for transaction approve?

Went to Japan last month and use this card.

Only can top up max 3k. Made the mistake of converting all 3k to yen. Cannot top up card coz all transactions are still pending.

Have to wait 2-3 days then can top up a bit. Really troublesome.

Lesson learn: leave the money in SGD and let them convert for you when you do any transactions.

Hmm I'm not sure why YouTrip seems to be so popular when they have issues with top-up (need to wait a few days to process huh?!) and other stuff.

There are several other similar multi-currency wallets available to Singaporeans (use Google can easily find). Personally, I chose RHB TravelFX as my main consideration is to get a means to obtain cash if I run out of it while overseas. From my research last time, RHB TravelFX is the only one without its own overseas ATM withdrawal fees (there may be a fee imposed by the ATM operator which all foreign cards can't avoid). Most debit cards or other multi-currency wallets will impose $5 fee at least. RHB TravelFX provides free ATM withdrawals for up to 20 times a year, which is more than enough for me since I don't have that many trips.

I've used my RHB card in Europe (many countries) and Japan and it worked perfectly for both ATM withdrawals and retail transactions. The mobile app is also easy to use and didn't give me any bugs, and can log in using biometric, don't need to rekey in login details.

Just posting this so that people know that there are other options out there. YouTrip marketing v good ah like all my friends only know of that and nothing else.

I had no issues with YouTrip top up. Top up is instant even when I was iverseas.

Citibank does not charge any atm withdrawal fee. I had used Citibank card to withdraw at overseas Citibank atms before.

Are you working for RHB?

I've had no issue with YouTrip top-up. Maybe your phone reception wasn't good?

Used it oversea and locally without any issues.

What makes you think I work for RHB? Is it 'cause this is a YouTrip thread, everyone must be singing praises for it else ppl like you have to be hostile, like being childish and posting about join date and number of posts as if that makes a valid point? Fyi, many ppl have a busy life outside HWZ and don't lurk here every day or even have smt to post abt, 'cos ppl not so bo liao post unconstructive comments.

No. If there is a Mastercard sign, then it is acceptable.

They are using a white square box to put the card in. If you have both SGD and JPY, you can tell them which one you want to deduct from. Hassle-free.

Citibank does not charge any atm withdrawal fee. I had used Citibank card to withdraw at overseas Citibank atms before.

the citibank card has to be a atm/debit card.
if it is a credit card, there is a cash advance fees involved. 6% or something like this.
