16D.6 ILLUSTRATION
DD transacted with his Visa credit card which is linked to GoAuthenticPay Cardlink at a retail store with the FINAL PRICE of RM100.00 and earned RM10.00 as Cardlink Cashback. Subsequently after a month, he revisited the same retail store and spent RM200.00 with his Visa debit card which is also linked to the GoAuthenticPay Cardlink. He earned RM20.00 as Cardlink Cashback via this transaction. Now, DD has RM30.00 being the Cardlink Cashback collectively earned from the two transactions.
If DD now wants to use the RM30.00 Cardlink Cashback earned from the previous two transactions, he will need to visit the same retail store and make the payment via GoAuthenticPay (and not just the Visa credit card linked to GoAuthenticPay Cardlink) through the GoAuthenticPay application / feature.
