GRABPay MasterCard

[farmers]

Is it possible for balance to be negative when charged by Simplygo? What happens then?

Card gets locked until you pay the balance.

new nerf, mcc 6300 insurance can only pay using transferrable balance


Why can’t I use my GrabPay Card at some merchants?
...
You may refer to the list below for the types of merchants/MCCs of which users can only tap on the transferable balance in their GrabPay wallet to make GrabPay Card transactions:

Ez-link app under MCC 4111
Selected e-wallet top-ups and remittance services under MCC 6540

yup they are alienating their customer base to be honest, but perhaps they can't figure out a way to make any money from such transactions

this is one of the dumbest way to enforce it, because it's so confusing - need to understand the concept of transferable vs non-transferable balance, and MCC.

who would put up with this hassle if they're just looking for a simple wallet + card to spend

shrug...going to ask for refund and time to cut the GPMC..


a useful site to tell you which card to use to pay for which MCC..

example on "NTUC"
https://www.whatcard.sg/?q=ntuc

 

[chiokcc]

It seems like the website Whatcard.sg has not been updated for a while already ....

 

[iadpotato]
