Revolut

[cannot.remember]

Hello ah! I've been using Revolut card for public transport. But today when I wanted to tap out from the MRT station there was an error. Had to ask the control office to let me out. I was still charged about $3 though. GTM says there is "bank card error". Anyone encountered this before?

No but you can use the SimplyGo to ask for refund.

The point of using revolut or youtrip is the ex rate right? For a hotel bill of $2,500, no one wants to pay $499 with revolut and $2,001 with a stanchart credit card for eg.

I am just pointing out that between Youtrip and Revolut, youtrip is more flexible. You know what you are going to get, and you can then plan accordingly.

For me, Revolut now becomes a back-up plan, in case youtrip goes into maintenance mode, and I cant top-up while overseas (encountered twice this year).

I originally wanted Revolut to be the main travel card, because of its ability to store different credit card nos (so that I can plan my cc spend), while youtrip can only store 1 at a time.

Another scenario would be to purchase a bag for S$5,000. I can then split the bill into $2,500 each for youtrip and revolut. Doesnt look so paiseh at the boutique payment counter.

Now? No thanks. Youtrip for me.

Use icbc and no need to worry so much

Yup have to wait for the fee to be finalised to claim on the SimplyGo app. Issue now is I can't use the Revolut card for public transport anymore. No idea why. Will try to buy something else to see if it works

I also hope the grab limit is by calendar year. Anyway it's confirmed that Grab monthly limit is on rolling basis and not calendar month.

Busted my Grab monthly limit of S$10k (30 days rolling from Nov to Dec 19) due to Europe trip. haha

How does calling the support block your card?

How does calling the support block your card?

i was hoping to speak to someone ...

their Help Line damn tricky ... the auto message asks "if u do not wish to block your card, hang up now or else key in your DOB etc" ... i did not listen carefully first time around, followed the instructions and the card kena blocked

so the Help Line is only to Block the card ... no other option to speak to real person

How to check what is the start date of the rolling month?

How to check what is the start date of the rolling month?

There's no way to find out, other than manual tallying of your spending. Apparently, it only affects the spending limit, and not the transfer limit.

ie I wasnt able to spend the S$2k that I had topped up (breached S$10k monthly spending limit), but could transfer the S$2k to my wife's grab account to spend it for me.

Exactly 1 month ago.

Annual limit is rolling also?

 

[zumaba]

Exactly 1 month ago.

So it is a 30-day moving Sum, like those stock MA? The calculation would be a bit tricky though.

 

[assiak71]

Exactly 1 month ago.

Today is 16 dec. Meaning 17 nov to 16 dec cannot exceed monthly limit?

Annual also rolling?

Btw we are talking about gpmc right?

In other words, if you ever hit the transfer limit + hit the spend limit, t hen your money is stuck inside permanently.

Grab thanks you for enriching them
