  • We recently visited Tokyo to find out if you can go completely cashless in Japan with the Touch 'n Go eWallet. Thanks to the Alipay+ network, TNG eWallet is now accepted by over 2 million merchants in Japan. But is it better than using other payment cards such as TNG Visa, GXBank, BigPay and Wise? Can you create a new Suica card on the iPhone?

    Hi thanks for the video, can I link my wise card to suica? using Apple pay as medium?
    I've tried and seems like it's not working, or maybe do i need a physical card?
    Thanks

    Hi Alex do you also get cashback from GX card when spending oversea?

    • @alexwnl
      @alexwnl Před měsícem +3

      Yup. The cashback covers retail and online spend even for overseas. Cashback is not provided for excluded transactions which include topping up ewallet, govt services, cash withdrawal, insurance and donation/charity to organisations.

      Nope. We only used tng ewallet, tng visa, wise, bigpay and gxbank during this trip.

      If it is a Japanese-released model, it should have. Do check the official spec sheet for the Japanese model for your device.

    Why would anyone still use TnG and pay 1% just to reload? Thanks, but no thanks.

    • @alexwnl
      @alexwnl Před měsícem +2

      1% is only for credit card reloads. Reloads by bank transfers and duitnow are free, similar bigpay and wise.

      Bank rates for international transactions are typically higher. Usually you won’t know the actual currency exchange rates until it’s reflected in the transaction history.
