I got once had a $300 refund.
Almost one month the merchant then refund.
Or according to gpmc ‘team’.

Oh well. Just wait at least a month.
If dont have then escalate.

agree that it's likely the slowness on GPMC side that slows the refund. normally merchant side alr initiated the refund/chargeback but it's the issuing card (GPMC in this instance) that processes and confirms the refund, b4 it gets officially refunded. banks normally process refund faster either cos of automation or there's dedicated manpower (e.g. UOB) that processes it. i worked twice with UOB on my customer's refund/chargeback b4 so i know someone needs to manually process it.

suspecting that bcos their "GPMC" division is still in beta infant stage, refunds are not automated (or not coded in their systems) and am not surprised if its all manually done. so their lean team will take time to process the refunds 1 after another hence the backlog. hopefully it becomes quicker as their focus on payments expands...

Not necessary, I've had refunds come in within the same day.

Sometimes is auto protection, cannot do same vendor multiple times, consecutively

I gotten the same issue after my 1st few paywave payment. I call up and was told they don't have such limitation as in number of times one can pay unless one exceeded their $ limit. So I tried 2 hours later and it works again.

Did you get any Grabreward points for using Samsung Pay on mrt?
I didnt. I called Grab Support and they told me that only those using Grab Physical Card when tapping on public transport will get Grabreward points.
I have not get the physical card to test it out yet.

If you got the activation mail in the Grab App inbox,
Dont click the Dark green Activate Now tab at the lowest bottom.
Click the light green Activate Now box within the Paragraph text..Free early Access to GrabPay Card.

It doesn't work either. I guess nothing can do just gotta wait..

refund depends on merchants.

Some merchants will actively refund, then Grab will refund.

Some merchants just do nothing til authorization lapses. In this case, it is Grab that need check whether authorization is utilized, if not, refund.
