作为加拿大最容易上手 MS 手段 – PPP 大法, 旧版 可充值黑色卡已经断了有些日子。 新版的数字可充值的绿色卡 可以使用,但刚开始接触 PPP 的新手还是有些犹豫,群里讨论依然很多,于是特地请 Lexie 分享一下她的新版 ppp 的申请和使用。

使用新版PPP

第 1️⃣ 步:注册 PPP 账户,申请 reloadable digital card (绿色那张)

第 2️⃣ 步:充值

如果直接注册 ppp 申请 digital card,需要在线充值 $20 (⚠️ 在线 无 Amex 选项)

接下来 充值都是选择 in-store -> other locations, 这样就会生成一个条形码,和老版实体卡一样操作。
⚠️ 这个条形码不会变, 截屏保存下来即可。

第 3️⃣ 步,billpay 或者添加到 数字钱包 直接消费使用

讨论

参考上面表格,新版数字卡 上限 $10000, 月费 $1, 每次充值手续费 $6.95, 每次 billpay 手续费 $1.95; 相比于老版 reloadbale, 月费便宜了

根据群里讨论和 lexie 自身实操,digital card 充值是没问题的; 最近在 Save on food 充值,小二说没见过,但坚持告诉他是新版,扫一下就可以了,小二也是可以操作的。 但也有一些 DP 显示,有些店小二不给数字条形码充值。欢迎大家报一报自己的 DP,也欢迎讨论各种 PPP 相关问题。
