GRABPay MasterCard

I am now questioning if we even need to keep the UOB Absolute card? 1.7% cash back to top up grab and then what? There are other ways to earn higher cash back. I am going to get rid of UOB Absolute card next. One less app to worry about.

I guess AXS payments for IRAS bill, utilities payments since most credit credit cards dont give any **/points for utilities payments.

I simulated the error. This was how the error appears at shoppee topup page.

Close the loopholes after they realise they are not making money.

Article out as expected.

I find the removal of single use tickets at MRT stations absurb. A few times see tourists from nearby countries ask the Transitlink office to be told to buy a prepaid card for $10 with $5 value.

Many walk away after hearing it, maybe to take bus instead. Who would buy a prepaid card for just a one day visit.

There's alternatives like the Singapore Tourist Pass:

But even if willing to use their own credit card, what about those with say a older child eg 10 years old. Can't use one credit card to tap for 2 person right ?

Not only that, but SimplyGo charges an additional $0.60 per day for foreign-issued bank cards.

Does Amazon or Lazada have a wallet? I think Shopee is also okay. Shopee Pay is not okay.

None of those can MS. Only revolut allowed cash out of card top ups right?

 

[vsvs24]

What is MS ?

 

[jujube]

can't top up Revolut with GPMC anymore. party over?

Top up revolut using gmpc and then top up grab using revolut. Cash out from grab to bank account using Paynow. Subject to 30k annual limit. I know revolut to bank account encashment is allowed, but it would look very obvious, so I never did it that way.

Manufactured spending.
