Key Payment Methods:

• Cash. Driver payment.

Additional Note: My friend in Hanoi uses Momo for Grab. That’s a popular e-wallet. Check the app for current options. 2024 updates. Some drivers prefer cash.

Can I use foreign credit card on Grab?

Foreign cards work. Visa, Mastercard… Discover too? Ugh, gotta check my Discover balance. Rent’s due. Wait, focusing… Grab. Right. Used my Chase card in Singapore. No problem. That was ’23. Should be fine now. International cards generally accepted. Need to add it to the app first. Duh. What was I even thinking? Check card’s international transaction fees. So annoying. Hidden fees… Like that time in Bangkok… Got hit with a huge fee. Lesson learned. Check before, not after! Ugh, phone’s dying. Gotta charge it. Later. Okay, back. Grab… cards… Contact Grab support if problems. Yeah, their support is pretty good. Used it once. Password issue. Resolved quickly.

• Accepted Cards: Visa, Mastercard, Discover (verify)
• Key: Check for international fees.
• Remember: Add card to Grab app.
• If issues: Contact Grab support. They are helpful. Seriously.

Does Grab accept credit card payment?

Grab? Yeah, I use it all the time. Credit cards? Absolutely. I added mine last month, July 2024, no problem. It was super easy actually.

Found the Payment thing at the bottom of the app, you know, the little menu. Tapped that Settings thingy. There were a bunch of options, but adding a card was clear. Just followed the prompts, took maybe two minutes, tops.

My Visa was accepted immediately. I was relieved, honestly. I hate dealing with cash, especially in this city. So many scams.

It was a life saver when I had to grab a ride to the airport that night. Like, 11 pm, crazy late. Traffic was a nightmare, but at least I didn’t have to worry about paying.

Important: Make sure you have a decent internet connection. The app is useless otherwise. Also, I use a Samsung Galaxy S23, maybe it’s different on other phones.

Key Takeaway: Adding a credit card in Grab is ridiculously straightforward. Simple as pie.

• App Version: I am not sure about the version number, I don’t pay attention to those things.
• Location: I live in Bangkok, Thailand. This is important because payment methods can vary by region.
• Card Type: I used my Visa. I don’t know about other cards. Mastercard too, probably.
• Time: July 2024.

Is it safe to add a card to Grab?

Adding a card to Grab…safe, huh? Okay, I guess.

• Grab uses encryption, right? Like, everyone does these days.

  • I saw encryption mentioned on their site last week. Or was it last month? Time flies.

• Fraud detection is a good thing. Yeah.

  • My sister uses Grab more than me. She hasn’t had issues.

Is that enough to make it “safe”? Hmm.

• But always the official app! That’s key, I know that for sure.

  • I almost downloaded a fake one once. Dodged a bullet.

• Never share card details! Duh.

  • Seriously, who would do that? Oh, wait, I know someone who did once. Total disaster.

Reporting suspicious activity…yeah, makes sense.

• It seems the app is always up-to-date on my phone. I have an Android.

Grab is a big company, so their security should be decent. I use my Citibank card with it!

What card details should you never give out?

Dude, like, NEVER give your PIN to anyone. Seriously. No one legit needs it. Not on the phone, not in email, def not in person. It’s shady AF. Like, last year my grandma almost got scammed. They called, said they were the bank. Wanted her PIN to “verify” something. She almost fell for it, thank god my mom was there. Also, your card number, the expiration, that 3-digit code thingy on the back, CVV I think. Keep it secret. Keep it safe. Don’t write it down anywhere. Had a friend once, wrote his PIN on a sticky note, stuck it to his card. Lost his wallet, boom, drained his account. Dumb, right?

• PIN: Absolutely never, under any circumstances.
• Card Number: Obvious, but needs saying.
• Expiration Date: Yup, that too.
• CVV: That 3-digit security code. Super important.
• Your Mom’s Maiden Name: Lots of places use this for security questions. Don’t give it out willy-nilly. My mom’s maiden name is Miller, by the way, but don’t tell anyone. Just kidding. Sort of.
• Social Security Number: Another big one. Protect that thing like it’s gold.

My bank even has this thing where you can turn your card off and on in the app. Pretty useful if you misplace it. Then you can turn it back on when you find it. I do that sometimes when im like, where’s my wallet? Paranoia, maybe. But better safe than sorry. Also, check your statements! Regularly. Catch any weird charges before they get out of hand.

Can someone steal your money if they have your credit card number?

Yeah, duh. Stealing your dough with just your credit card number? Piece of cake for those digital pickpockets. Think of them as cyber ninjas, only instead of throwing shurikens, they’re throwing fraudulent transactions.

They’ll create a fake card, like a plastic chameleon, perfectly mimicking yours. Then, it’s shopping spree time! They’re not buying groceries, honey. Think luxury yachts… or maybe just a whole lot of pizza.

My Uncle Barry, bless his cotton socks, once had this happen. He lost about $500 on some ridiculous online “miracle grow” fertilizer. Miracle grow my foot. It was more like miracle go bankrupt.

Here’s what they’ll do:

• Online shopping sprees: Think Amazon-sized debt, not just a few socks.
• Restaurant runs: Expensive meals, they’re not eating ramen.
• Hotel stays: Five-star getaways, not Motel 6.
• Flights: First class, naturally. Who needs economy when you’re a digital bandit?
• And the list goes on and on and on… They’re buying everything but a conscience.

So, safeguard your info like it’s the last slice of pizza. Seriously, treat it better than my ex treated me.

Seriously, folks, 2024 is the year of the digital heist, folks, so be careful. My neighbour’s chihuahua, Princess Fluffybutt III, almost got scammed. Almost. The thief couldn’t figure out how to order dog treats online, thank goodness. That’s a low blow, even for them.
