GRABPay MasterCard

[dexboi]

Most probably is GrabPay - ScanQR. How they block/reject GrabCard which is a MasterCard? lol.

 

[Habrosus]

When you say wouldn’t accept is like the terminal will have error when you tap or what?

Aunty said cannot use GrabPay.

Aunty said cannot use GrabPay.

So the scanning is it?

Don't know; didn't ask. Aunty said so we changed payment method. No big deal.

Yea. Didn’t say it’s a big deal.

cause like I wonder how they enforce unless it’s a system level.

example, u tap the card urself nowadays they can’t control.

or for scanning u can just scan and they wouldn’t know.

unless terminal reject or the app disallow.

We normally ask the seller if our choice of payment method is acceptable before we attempt to scan or tap. This case, aunty said no, so we changed to another method. Don't really like to bother them with more questions unless we've no cash or other means, don't like to hold up the queue. With OCK, they've EZLink wallet, Fave, etc, thus no big deal.

I agree, because they are just postman.

But in practical nothing is stopping one from trying to scan the code and see it for one self whether got error.

Or if tap got error.

and if there’s no queue, think it’s fine to test

Most probably it's the scan and pay method. Maybe they cannot check whether payment is made etc.

Queue or not, aunty said no then I won't test. Why doubt her when she's already given the answer? Maybe my curiosity level then wasn't like yours; I just wanted to pay and move on.

Yea maybe just a difference in inquisitiveness.

Wonder if it’s a system level or just a communication level unavailability

scan and pay is grab’s own network/infrastructure they control the merchant fees while mastercard is define by how much MC charges probably grab’s merchant fees are too high.

walked pass OCK at Plaza Sing and also saw the sign that they do not accept GPMC.... they purposely put it beside the paywave/passpass terminal...

Guys, I know I am like more than 3 years late to the game but better be late than never.

Got a few questions hoping experts here can help out:

1) So it seemed need to get more than 4500 pts to get to platinum tier within a 6 months cycle. Am I right that if I am basic tier now, I need to accumulate and spend 4500/3 = $1500 within 6mths to get to this tier? And then after that to maintain the tier, I need to do 4500/6 = $750 within 6mths to qualify for next renewal? Or am I over simplifying this thingy?...

2) Looking at this FAQ, it seemed only transport and grabfood related transactions can count towards such points accumulation. So if I don't buy from grabfood and don't take any of the grab vehicles, and I only use grab wallet for online shopping and offline retail merchants payment, how can I still progresively upgrade to platinum or is it not possible at all?

3) Does using grab wallet to pay bills on e-AXS app earn any point?

4) What do you guys mainly use your grab cashback for?

I went to see. They really put the sign very prominently. Got big picture of the Grabpay Mastercard. With words :

Grabpay Card payment currently not accepted. We apologize for any I convenience caused.

Already display until like that think don't make things difficult for the aunties. Because if error they still need to punch somethings to retry.

2) I think the FAQ somehow not accurate. payment with GPMC or online shopping etc, should count.

3) no

4) you mean the points?

Are you aiming for plat for a reason? or looking to get it for the sake of getting? Cause the perks don't seem to be that fantastic unless you are already going to use it anyway
