I’m seeing a “Something went wrong” message when I try to pay a merchant using a QRIS code. Why is this happening?
You may be encountering this error because you entered a non whole amount in IDR (e.g., 10,000.09 IDR). Simply enter the payment amount as a whole number and try again (e.g., 10,000.00 IDR).
I made a transaction during campaign period but did not receive my cashback. Why?

There are two primary reasons why you might not have received cashback:

  1. Monthly redemption cap: Cashback is issued on a first-come, first-served basis and is limited to 12,500 redemptions per calendar month. If this cap is reached, any transactions made afterwards, even if eligible, will not receive cashback.
  2. Per user limit: Each user is limited to one cashback redemption per calendar month. If you've already received cashback for another transaction within the same month, subsequent transactions will not be eligible.
