Everyone loves a good hack, especially if it involves saving $$$, given the times we live. And so it’s no surprise that a money-saving hack for Grab rides turned viral. And although it worked for many, this wasn’t the case for all, so let the hack user beware.

A TikTok from Singapore user Eddie, who goes by @mozzarellapapi on the platform, explained the hack and promptly went viral. (PS—You may want to try it out before Grab does a little something something and the money-saving part disappears. Just sayin’.)

Eddie clarified that the hack did not originate with him, but he had seen it from a girl he follows who had posted it on her stories.

“Okay, everyone who uses Grab, you should probably stop scrolling and listen to this,” Eddie says at the beginning of the video.

“You may allegedly be getting charged more for trips going to your saved locations.”

The woman Eddie follows said in her Story that when she was using saved locations when booking Grab rides, she was getting charged five dollars more than when she was manually typing out the location she wanted to go to.

When the woman put in “Work” under saved locations, the app was charging her $26.80, but when she manually typed her work address, the charge was only $21.80.

Hey, five bucks are still five bucks.

Since Eddie uses the saved locations function, he tried it out and was charged $23.80. And when he tried to book again, this time putting only one unit number away from his work address, what came out as the charge was only $16.80.

He clarified in the comments, however, that he’s “sure there’s a technical explanation for why this happens so please don’t send hate to grab!” And added that he “just wanted to remind everyone to check their settings/options when booking to get the cheapest option!”
