八达通:未来可如公共交通津贴领取消费券 近月逾2,000小商户申请商用版App
八达通营业及市务总监李玉儿表示,若市民选择以八达通领取消费券,将与现时领取公共交通津贴的方式一样,可透过八达通手机应用程式、各交通津贴领取站等三个途径领取,但提醒设领取期限。她称消费券注入後,八达通卡不会区分原本在卡内的金额,而八达通App则会设页面让市民知悉及管理消费券使用情况。
她指出,此前公司为配合消费券的使用,将储值限额由1,000元提升至3,000元,若市民在未提升储值限额下领取消费券,八达通将在市民领取时自动提升限额至3,000元。因政府希望市民在一段时间内使用消费券,故会设领取期限,有关限期、消费券派发期数等细节则待政府公布。
她又称,自政府4月公布消费券後,有逾2,000个小商户申请商用版八达通App,数目较3月增加一倍;八达通亦正扩阔使用网络,将接纳八达通付款的新增商户包括电器店百老汇、牛角、温野菜、运动家、崇光百货专柜等。
不过她指出,八达通若是用於购买奢侈品等大额消费或较「勉强」,未必是市民首选。
