Misunderstanding 1: Thinking that you have lost the eligibility to receive the final payment

Some readers left a message saying that the consumption coupons in their Octopus cards have been used up, but after inquiries, it was found that the eligible consumption did not reach 4,000 yuan, and they considered that they had lost the qualification to receive the final payment.

It is believed that many citizens will apply for a new card to receive the coupons in order to distinguish the stored value of the Octopus card they use daily from the coupons.

However, it should be noted that even if the amount of consumption coupons is used up, citizens can still recharge at convenience stores, MTR stations and other places. As long as the consumption meets the qualifications and accumulates 4,000 yuan, they can receive the final 1,000 yuan, and there is no "lost". statement.

Misunderstanding 2: Thinking that a negative number on a "dedicated" Octopus card for consumption coupons means you are eligible

Some readers commented that they only use it for rides to buy food on weekdays, thinking that the eligible consumption has reached 4,000 yuan, and even some readers have already paid for their Octopus cards, wondering why the system shows that they are not eligible.

Since Octopus cannot distinguish between consumption vouchers and stored value, there is no limit to the amount in the card, and citizens can use it freely and pay at inapplicable merchants or services.

Simply put, categories that are not applicable to coupons are ineligible purchases.

Categories such as public consumption, government charges, and education expenses, including public hospitals, post offices, government tunnels, parking meters, fines, etc., are not applicable to consumption vouchers.

If the public "accidentally" pays the above fees with consumption coupons, they will be disqualified.

The following figure will list the non-applicable categories.

Misunderstanding 3: Thinking that the Octopus Company will "bag up" the coupons

Some readers also blamed the unwillingness of the Octopus Company to distribute consumer coupons for the reason that the final $1,000 could not be collected, "holding up" the amount that the public should have received, and even questioned the misappropriation of interest.

Octopus has explained earlier that the distribution of consumption vouchers in three separate times is a mechanism developed by the government, emphasizing that the amount of all consumption vouchers, including the final $1,000, must be handed over to Octopus by the government only after citizens are eligible to receive them. It is distributed to the citizens, so there is no such thing as "bags live first".

You can check whether you are eligible to receive the final installment of $1,000 on the Octopus Coupon website.

When can I receive 1,000 yuan as soon as I am eligible?

As long as you spend $4,000 on eligible purchases before June 30, you can claim them again on July 16.

The deadline is October 31, that is, if you still fail to spend 4,000 yuan eligible, you will not be able to claim it on November 16, and the 1,000 yuan will be "returned" to the government for processing.

In other words, before the deadline before October 31, as long as the eligible consumption reaches RMB 4,000 on the last day of each month, you can receive the final payment of RMB 1,000 on the 16th of the next month.

As for the above-mentioned mechanism, it will also reappear in the second stage, that is, citizens who use Octopus will also need to spend over $4,000 before receiving the final payment.
