Here are all the Apple Pay promos already being offered in Malaysia

Not long after Apple Pay made its long heralded (and much anticipated) arrival in Malaysia, banks and merchants are already offering promotions for using Cupertino’s contactless payment service.

Participating banks AmBank and Standard Chartered are providing cashback offers for Apple Pay purchases, and while Maybank isn’t giving out specific rebates, certain outlets are holding promotions that are exclusive to Maybank customers. Here they are in full:

AmBank (valid until October 31)

• 50% cashback on first Apple Pay purchase (capped at RM20)
• RM50 cashback when you spend minimum RM849 on Apple device with AmBank Credit Card/-i, add card to Apple Pay and make first Apple Pay transaction (first come, first served)
• Up to RM158 cashback when you sign up for AmBank Credit Card/-i and perform eight Apple Pay transactions (minimum RM10 each)
• Up to RM218 cashback when you sign up for AmBank Signature Priority Banking Visa Infinite Credit Card/-i and perform eight Apple Pay transactions (minimum RM10 each)

Standard Chartered (valid until August 18)

• 100% cashback on first Apple Pay purchase (capped at RM10)

Maybank

• TGV Cinemas: Get one free regular popcorn with purchase of regular popcorn with Apple Pay
• Starbucks: RM10 rebate with minimum spend of RM30 with Apple Pay (first come, first served; we verified that this is exclusive to Maybank customers)

As a reminder, Apple Pay lets users make purchases using their iPhone or Apple Watch, the former requiring only Face ID or Touch ID for verification. To add your card (only Maybank, AmBank and Standard Chartered credit cards and Maybank debit cards are supported for now) to your Wallet, you’ll have to either scan the card using your iPhone’s camera or enter the details manually. As it uses the NFC standard, Apple Pay is available at all merchants that accept contactless credit card payments such as Visa payWave.
