YouTrip has officially launched its Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) wallet, unlocking new levels of convenience and savings for travelers heading to Johor Bahru. Now available to all users, the MYR wallet allows seamless exchange and storage of ringgit at competitive rates—no hidden fees or FX markups.
Plan Ahead, Spend Smart
The launch comes as YouTrip data shows a surge in pre-trip currency conversions, especially around long weekends like Hari Raya Puasa and Good Friday. On 9 April, when the MYR dropped to 3.33 against SGD, the platform saw a 130% jump in MYR conversions, with twice the usual number of users locking in the rate—proof that Singaporeans are planning smart and spending wisely.
Free Weekend Shuttle Rides to JB
To celebrate the launch, YouTrip is rolling out free shuttle buses from Kranji MRT to Mid Valley Southkey in JB—just in time for your next shopping or foodie trip. The service will run every Saturday and Sunday from 19 April to 11 May 2025, with buses departing every 30 minutes from 9:00 AM to 9:30 PM.
- Return trips will depart from Mid Valley Southkey’s North Entrance.
- Over 15,000 seats will be available across four weekends.
- Pre-booking is required via YouTrip’s Instagram or Telegram, with slots for each weekend released every Monday.
- Each user is entitled to one round trip, and must be present at the allotted time.
Extra Rewards: Cashback Galore in Malaysia
Shoppers rejoice—YouTrip is offering 3% cashback on all MYR spending for the first 5,000 users who hit a minimum S$200 cumulative spend.
Plus, from 16 April to 17 June 2025, enjoy up to:
- 10% cashback at JD Sports
- 5% cashback at CARiNG Pharmacy, Decathlon (selected outlets), and Lotus’s
This marks YouTrip’s first official retail tie-up in Malaysia—giving users even more reasons to save.
Purple Clouds and Viral Buzz
If you spotted the mysterious purple clouds over the Causeway—you weren’t imagining things. The viral AR stunt, which racked up over 3 million views on TikTok, was part of YouTrip’s creative reveal for the new MYR wallet. The official behind-the-scenes video drops on their social pages today at 1:00 PM.
