Boost is one of the widely used cashless payment method here. They have upgraded to many features over the years. I am not sure when did they started with the Flexi Redeem program. Users can use the Boost stars and top up some money to redeem goodies in their BoostUP Rewards listing.
Instead of letting the stars expired, I redeemed a BYZ Silk Pattern Powerbank 20,000 mAH by using 11,880 Boost stars and RM23.00 deducted from Boost wallet. With that I earned 46 Boost Stars as well.
After the payment in Boost, we will receive a redemption code. We have to order the item from beliguru.com website by using the redemption code. The original price for this Powerbank is RM85.00 so there is a savings of RM61.00 (in this case 1 Boost Star = RM0.00513). Like any online purchase, I have to pay delivery charges, RM14.80 for this one to E.M.
I received it in less than a week. This Powerbank is heavier than the one that I have been using (10,000 mAH), not so suitable to carry in lady's handbag. I bought this for my better half, he will put in his luggage bag whenever he goes outstation.
Now that I use tng app more often I very seldom use boost app now.
ReplyDeletenot many using tng here because no need to pay toll here..hahahaa..
DeleteI haven't download Boost. Rarely use cashless payment app but here, most shops accepted Sarawak Pay and Boost. I only downloaded Sarawak Pay and that was also last year. Lol. We found out that having cash around when travelling to KL last year wasn't much use!! Now most shops only accepted cashless or credit card than cash. Lol. I guess we just need to adapt to current tech and lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteyes have to follow the tech already..sometimes it's not convenient to go cash out. One set back is when the internet line is not good, we have no choice but the pay cash..advisable to have some cash in hand too.
