RM5 in my eWallet. Not enough for shiopan. Insufficient balance. That’s when it hit me. RM5 isn’t as boujee as it once was. Back in school, RM5 meant elite wealth. RM1.50 for nasi goreng telur. RM1.50 for ayam goreng. RM1 for air sirap. And you still had RM1 left to feel like you had your life together.
Fast forward to today, and RM5 barely gets you through the day. It might not cover two hours of parking, a toll, your shiopan delivery fee, or even that iced coffee you definitely didn’t need but somehow ordered anyway.
But here’s the plot twist: what if that RM5 could actually grow into RM60 a month, just by doing something you already do every day? You’re Already Scanning. You Might As Well Get Paid For It. Let’s be honest. Malaysians are scanning QR codes everywhere.
Morning kopi? Scan.
Lunch? Scan.
Parking? Scan.
Dessert you swore you weren’t going to buy? Also scan.
QR payments have become so second nature that we barely think twice about them. But if you’re a Samsung user who’s already making these everyday payments, there’s a simple way to make those scans work a little harder for you. By linking your MAE QR Pay to Samsung Wallet, you can get RM5 instantly upon activation, while also earning Samsung Rewards Points as you spend.
And this is where things get interesting.
Let’s Talk Numbers, because This Is Where It Gets Good. No investing. No crypto. No side hustle. No extra spending required. You can bank up to 2,000 Samsung Rewards Points every month through eligible transactions. And because 1 point is worth RM0.03, that means:
2,000 points = RM60 a month
RM60 × 12 months = RM720 a year
RM720 × 3 years = RM2,160
Over 36 months, you could accumulate up to 72,000 points, giving you up to RM2,160 in redemption value. That’s potentially RM2,160 you can use towards Samsung products and other rewards available through the Samsung app. So while you’re busy buying your RM5 kopi, your points are quietly adding up in the background. This is the part that feels almost like you’ve found a loophole.
You’re not spending more. You’re not changing your daily routine. You’re simply linking your MAE QR Pay to Samsung Wallet and getting rewarded for eligible QR transactions you were already making.
Over time, those points could help knock down the price of your next Samsung purchase, whether it’s a pair of Galaxy Buds, a Galaxy Watch or even your next Galaxy smartphone. Suddenly, that iced coffee wasn’t just an iced coffee. It was a tiny contribution towards your next tech upgrade. And that parking fee? Well, at least something came back from it.
The best part is the most immediate one: activate and link your MAE QR Pay to Samsung Wallet, and you can claim RM5 instantly. Because if RM5 can barely get you through a couple of hours of parking these days, why leave it sitting on the table? The question isn’t “Why should I activate MAE QR Pay on Samsung Wallet?” The real question is: “How much value have I already missed by scanning for free?” Your next kopi run is coming anyway. Your next QR scan is inevitable. So you might as well make it count.
Activate. Link. Claim your RM5. And start stacking those points towards your next Samsung upgrade.
