八達通:未來可如公共交通津貼領取消費券 近月逾2,000小商戶申請商用版App
八達通營業及市務總監李玉兒表示,若市民選擇以八達通領取消費券,將與現時領取公共交通津貼的方式一樣,可透過八達通手機應用程式、各交通津貼領取站等三個途徑領取,但提醒設領取期限。她稱消費券注入後,八達通卡不會區分原本在卡內的金額,而八達通App則會設頁面讓市民知悉及管理消費券使用情況。
她指出,此前公司為配合消費券的使用,將儲值限額由1,000元提升至3,000元,若市民在未提升儲值限額下領取消費券,八達通將在市民領取時自動提升限額至3,000元。因政府希望市民在一段時間內使用消費券,故會設領取期限,有關限期、消費券派發期數等細節則待政府公布。
她又稱,自政府4月公布消費券後,有逾2,000個小商戶申請商用版八達通App,數目較3月增加一倍;八達通亦正擴闊使用網絡,將接納八達通付款的新增商戶包括電器店百老匯、牛角、溫野菜、運動家、崇光百貨專櫃等。
不過她指出,八達通若是用於購買奢侈品等大額消費或較「勉強」,未必是市民首選。
