MasterCard, you are wrong!
Unlucky: Alamak! Wrong place! It's GV Marina! Not PS! OMG.Lucky: No cash to buy popcorn. No cash to buy nachos. No POSB/DBS atm nearby. Otherwise I will end up with popcorn dinner by a bench watching passers-by.
Unlucky: Impossible to rush down to Marina. Already 7.15pm or more. Show's at 7pm. $15 for Inside Man possibly forgone :-s
Lucky: Phew.. got Munich at 9pm as compensation. 3 hour show = 2 movies = $7 each. Can lah.
Unlucky: No queue. Got to the counter, selected movie showtime and seats only to realise that they do not accept MasterCard!
Lucky: I still got my Visa, just that it's in the car. Ran back to the carpark which fortunately is only 1 more floor down.
Unlucky: Got queue! Shucks!
Lucky: We still got great seats! Centre row, third row from the back.

I have come to realise the lousiness of eNets as an online payment solution for people who refused to apply for at least a debit card for virtual transactions! You either risk not being able to collect your movie tickets or give up the money which you have already paid for (or possibly paid for) if you forget the stupid confirmation ID that was given to you at the end of the transaction at the website.
Maybe it wasn't eNets. It must be GV! Yes, I can see that they advocate the use of Visa cards by labelling the logo everywhere around their box office, BUT they don't have to eliminate usage of MasterCard cards! I really don't understand how that organisation functions. It accepts either confirmation ID or NRIC as a verification check for customers who bought the tickets online with debit cards. And the funny thing is they do accept MasterCard if you buy online! Except that you need to pay additional $0.20 above the booking fee. And then why can't they at least use NRIC as an alternative verification check for customers who do not know GV has an idiotic workflow when it comes to eNets payment solution?
Rubbish!
