Just left Marina Square not long ago. The queue for top up was fast, there was more than 10 counters. Almost 80% who top up looked mostly seniors

I did not queue for top-up, but I queue at the port-in/new line counter as I wanted to port in. Queued for an hour, way longer than those topping up their account. This is due to the time needed to port in, sign up singpass and face verification. It took longer probably the people infront have lots of line to port. It took me only a few mins to port. I get extra $20 credit for port in.

Then I top-up the account , they wrote down the number and my other number which I want to top up on a piece of paper. They will help to top up later so I don't need to re queue at top up counters.

Vouchers no more liao. But candy floss still have

Most likely I am going tmr to top-up my parent account. Shun bian go Vivo store grand opening at 313. 1 stone kill 2 birds.

I understand why ppl want to do the top-up on Shopee instead, save transport fare and can utilise Shopee coins for max discount but bobian, use $ to learn a lesson.

Shopee vouchers can no longer be used on those topup listings + those listings have additional 50 cents charge e.g. $5.50 for $5 credit. Might as well topup from outside shops can use CDC voucher and no additional charge.

Yup, the previous time I top up with the Shopee seller, I cannot use the voucher only the coins. I checked on Shopee just now & they were banned...

This morning I was there at 10.30am & there was about 100 in the queue & within 5 mins another 50 was added after me.

But fortunately the queue cleared very fast & I was done by 11.15am

By 11.15am I all done.

Fortunately the Counter Lady allowed me to top-up all 8 at once.

But one of the 8 one person gave me the wrong number & so failed to top-up

Then later I even re-queued to do another top-up

I re-queued to provide the correct number. It took me 10 to 15mins to complete...fast

Went to hougang branch on Friday around 5pm plus, no queues. Ask them do they have free 20 for 20 recharge, they said do not have at hougang branch but they can help you send your details to marina square branch to top up at a later time. They said I will received the SMS when they have top up. So I top up 60 and saw that there are a few people on the list too. Received my free 60 for 60 top up SMS at around 8.30pm plus.

I think this coming IT show maybe have 1 for 1 recharge, my thoughts don't quote me.
