Anyone tried taking cab using comfort app street hail function using grabpay? How come as soon as when I pair my ride, they deduct $20 from my card when the journey has not ended yet? Then when the journey ended, the receipt churn out is more than $20? Is this normal? :s11:
Better dun use GrabPay MasterCard for transactions that the final amount may be different, from initial hold amount; or worst transactions that may be refunded.

Last week, I used GrabPay MasterCard for ComfortDelgro Street Hail function. It charges a $20 to my GP MC. However, due to some issue, I changed to other bank's credit card to pay at the end.
ComfortDelgro insists the initial $20 charge is just a hold amount, and not final charge, won't be posted. However, GrabPay MC already deducted the $20, and never refund back he $20 charge back to my account.
I reported to Grab Support. Now, Grab Support makes me proof the amount will not be posted by ComfortDelgro.

Previously, I made a purchase with GP MC also. After that there's a refund. Grab doesn't automatically returns the refunded amount to me. I had to proof with the merchant's emails, to proof that the charge amount has already been refunded by merchant. Then Grab finally willing to return the refund amount back to me.

Other banks would have automatically tracked the refund and return the amount automatically. But, Grab won't. It becomes customer's responsibility to proof the refund instead.

Hi tytyty333, what do you mean by the above. Dont really understand. Thanks!

Think he meant using grabpoints to make Grab QR code payment. But don't see what is good about that, just the base value for redemption of grab points. Prefer to use grab points for flash sales.

Yes. But I can't see any flash sales. Not targeted user.

May I check if GPMC can be used to pay for insurance on the AIA eCare website?

I've started using virtual Grabpay card via samsung pay to make payment at transport and retail settings since early Nov. Till now, I've not seen the deductions in my Grabpay wallet. Is this normal? When will I expect the deduction to show up?

Samsung pay linked GMPC payments do not immediately show up as transactions in my grab wallet and hence I'm wondering.

So far only samsung pay can use gpmc. I also using gpmc via samsung pay occasionally. It is always almost reflected immediately in the grab app. Also at end of day or early next day grab will also send u an email on the spent.

Just to update that my gpmc transactions through samsung pay are finally reflected as deductions in my grabpay wallet today, after between 6 to 9 days from the actual transactions.

Are those transactions piblic transport? If public transport, i think they will consolidate.

Earn STAR$ On Grabpay top up wallet. Spend S$1 or more and get 5 STAR$ for Amex capitacard. I received this offer but dun really understand how it works. 5 STAR$ for every topup but the min top up value amount for grabpay wallet is $10, isn’t it? Dun find this attractive at all.
