BANGKOK (NNT) - Officials are urging more than three million users of the 3rd phase of the “50-50” Co-pay government stipend campaign to start spending before the end of this month, in order to retain their privilege in the 4th phase.

 

Pornchai Thiravej, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Finance, gave a reminder to the participants who have yet to take advantage of the new phase. Up to 3 million users have yet to make any purchase through the program.

 

The current phase of the Co-pay scheme offers to pay 50% of purchases of eligible goods and services for up to 150 baht a day for a total of 1,200 baht. The fund is valid until the end of April.

 

Participants, however, must make at least one transaction before February 28th, in order to preserve their privilege.

 

Eligible goods include food and beverages, and general commodities. The program does not cover lottery tickets, gift vouchers, or cash cards. Participants can also use the stipend to pay for such services as massages, spa therapies, manicures, and pedicures. It is also accepted as a paying method for public transportation.

 

The payment can be made from 6AM to 11PM, except for food delivery services from mobile applications which must be made from 6AM to 9PM.
