i found a workaround. Add razer card to Google pay. Find online merchants that can pay through google pay for e.g Shopee.
I just realised the spend task is not accurately tracking the spend... certain merchants although not listed as not eligible is still not credited. whereas other merchants are immediately credited.
Nice workaround!
Sadly it won't work for some of the bills I want to pay
I hope they didn't change their promise when they said the card would light up for in-store chip transactions though. Would be quite a bummer since the light will last longer and be more visible if it was linked to the terminal.
Edit: support replied to me about the card not lighting up for chip based transactions.
Pertaining to your email, I understand that the premium card doesn't light up on chip based transaction. I truly understand how frustrating this could be when things don't go as planned. Rest assured, I will put my 100% to resolve this issue.
Please be advised that Premium card on will light up when when you tap your card in any merchant. It won't light up if the transaction made through online by chip based.
From the somewhat broken English, I'm getting the feeling that it doesn't light up for chip based transactions.
Really disappointed since the original website (
https://www.razer.com/razer-card) did promise lights for chip based transactions.
