GRABPay MasterCard

[fone]

I tap as per paywave after I tell the cashier I want to paywave. But it turns out to be MST

Another time also it happens at Krispy Kreme Paragon outlet. I bought 1 doughnut. Ask to paywave. I tap. It's paywave. After eating it. I went back buy another one. But though I tap. It turns out to b MST. Same machine they using. I ask why is that so. But the cashier has no idea.

Stated on the receipt chit the later one is MST

Think you should go read up on where to tap.
MST is to tap at where the magnetic stripe reader is at. As long as the back of your phone is pointed towards the stripe reader, there is a chance of it reading. So far, I've always hold the length of the phone parallel to the swiping location.

Paywave to tap at paywave sign or reader or screen, only issue comes if paywave is too close to the magnetic stripe reader.

Paywave was not very common when Samsung Pay came out. But nowadays, I hardly use MST nowadays.

Not sure if you have experienced the age of magnetic stripe cards, if you do not know what I'm talking about, since SG has mandated chip for cards as opposed to magnetic stripe.

Actually, even if you didn't get that message you can still request it using android phone with the link I mentioned in few pages back. If using Chrome doesn't work try Opera.

This method did not work for me. On Android. But Peppermint's method works. I found the message under notification and managed to confirm address.

This the terminal I'm referring to

I usually tap my hp on the top left. But I leave it to fate whether it will become paywave or MST

I just went to Guardian to purchase some medicine. When I tried Samsung pay a few times (I even take my hp cover out) it keeps showing Pickup Card and failed transaction. At the end I need to dish out my Grabpay physical card, tapping on the same top left spot and it went through. Why I keep tapping on top left is because I tried tapping everywhere at Sheng Siong but it just doesn't work. So I ended up only keep to top left.

I will indeed have to study more on this as I'm still lacking in knowledge in this area. Thanks for showing me the rope

Does this mean iPhone users only choice is to find an android to login to their account and click the link? I already have the virtual card and received both app notification and email earlier.

Can tap, no grab points

When I click the light green button, it just bring me to the inbox. Clicking the dark green button only bring me to the request for early access. Really don’t know what to do.
