The Economic Services Bureau (DSE) yesterday reminded residents that the deadline of the second phase of the government-subsidised consumption smartcard is on Thursday.
According to a DSE statement, after Thursday the remaining balance on residents’ consumption smartcard will revert to the government. The statement said that after Thursday, the smartcard can be used as a regular Macau Pass although any outstanding cash left over from the subsidy consumption will have been removed. The statement added that details will be announced by Macau Pass.
During the second phase of the scheme, residents received 5,000 patacas to spend between August 1 and December 31. As in the first phase (3,000 patacas), residents can only spend up to 300 patacas per day also during the second phase.
