Hey everyone.
Currently I am doing my 21 day quarantine.
I’ve already added $2,000 to my octopus card. However the question is does anyone here have any Hong Kong retail experience when accepting Octopus payments.
The reason I am asking is my dad has an elder card and he said that I can have his consumption voucher as he won’t be going back to HK in time.
Obviously I am not going to travel with it but I was wondering if I use it for purchases such as clothes and food, would it flag up on the system that I am paying with an elder Octopus card? Or the information doesn’t show up to the cashier because it’s irrelevant as there no discount for elders at clothes and food shops that accept Octopus?
I have seen from previous posts that Hong Kong residents who not going back to Hong Kong gave let their friends use their consumption voucher.
Thanks.
