Second phase of co-payment scheme fully subscribed in just two hours

 

 

Five million Thai people registered to join the second phase of the Government’s 50:50 co-payment economic stimulus scheme within just two hours of its launch at 6am this morning.

 

Many complaints have been lodged with the Ministry of Finance, however, by applicants who encountered problems while registering online, causing their registration to fail, thus losing their opportunity to benefit from the scheme, initiated by the Finance Ministry to boost consumer spending.

 

An informed source at the Finance Ministry said today that they have demanded an explanation from the state-run Krung Thai Bank, which has been responsible for the implementation of the scheme since the launch of the first phase a few months ago.

Registration for Thai Government’s co-pay scheme may be extended

 

 

Thailand’s Finance Ministry may extend the period for registrations for the 50:50 co-payment economic stimulus scheme for applicants whose registration failed due to disruption to DTAC’s mobile phone service.

 

Finance Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisit said today that he was awaiting reports from the state-run Krung Thai Bank about the actual number of subscribers whose registration failed due to the disruption.

 

If there are many, he said that he would extend the registration,without waiting for reports from the bank about the number of subscribers who did not start spending within 14 days of their successful registration, who stand to have their subscription cancelled.

Total Access Communication (Dtac) has announced that it will send out notifications on compensations for customers affected by the system crash on Wednesday morning.

 

According to its press release, customers who requested a one-time password (OTP) to register for the government’s co-payment scheme and missed their chance because the OTP did not arrive on time will be compensated with either free data, airtime bonuses or discounts worth Bt3,500 on devices.

 

Dtac will contact affected customers via SMS from Thursday onwards. Customers have until December 23 to get the compensation and will be required to follow the instructions provided in the text message.

My family lost a chance for the 50/50 program as well as communications thanks to DTAC. Their offer is little compensation for both my family and the vendors that would have made sales. Good bye DTAC.

Mayhem. Looks like they didn't learn anything from the 1st phase registration which was also very messy.
