I did that. I did not try to buy Alipocket again. I simply input the new card details at checkout and it happened.

jboixxx:

Just select "Add a new credit/debit card" and fill the fields with the required info, at Checkout page. Don't buy AliPocket Coupon with the other card. That's the way my brother used it and it worked for him. My appeal required that I submit the details of the 2 cards I once attempted using, which they did verify.

How do you guys use 2 cards. i am told to verify the second card that i want to use to complete the payment. They actually collected the money and later cancelled the order.
Aliexpress just they vex for you anyhow anyhow grin grin

If not that you've funded your pocket, i would have suggested you open a fresh account.

Your appeal page will list what you're required of, but mine were ID, MasterCard Snapshot (front) and bank statement.

You can ask your sister to request for her last 4 weeks e-statement of account from Gtbank via their Twitter handle or mail them at statement at Gtbank dot com. If she's been profiled for online banking, she can get it via that platform in minutes.

You'll only receive a mail from them when your appeal has been verified, until then, nothing from them and you can't place any other. Just able to checkout my orders yesterday after verified appeal.
thanks alot.

so you mean after your appeal got accepted, you were still able to order, and wasn't outside the $100 limit already?

I was even skeptical of appealing, since the name on the GTB account would be different from my name on ID.

Download the recovery Rom and rename it to update.zip. Copy it into the root of your internal storage/SD card. Launch the updater app and click on the three dot menu and choose update package option, follow instruction and you are good to go. Ensure you make a back up because all data will be erased.

Lol. Was wondering if it was now possible to upgrade just like that when on vendor ROM.

I use same phone and same vendor ROM.

Any idea how to go about it?

Maybe. tongue

I quoted the phrase from his screenshot.
Sometimes it takes less time than that, but you should give a conservative estimate so as not to get your hopes up.

You are welcome, boss.

Yeah, was still cuz I had $80 left outta my limit. Did the balancing using another GTB card that was part of the cards I appealed.

I think they just needed to confirm you are the "custodian"/holder of the card.

There are steps to do that on miui forum. It seems to work flawlessly for some, while bricking the phone of others. But I believe with time, the miui device team will release a reliable method (particularly the EDL method). Just enjoy your phone for now

I used just this month's statement though.

Glad I can still proceed, when my appeal gets accepted.
was thinking I had to wait till next month for another chance.

Just a brief experience from my redmi 4 pro

I have learnt alot so I opened the box.. downloaded the Global ROM and installed it.. no time...

Features:
1.. the weight is so light.. I almost opened the phone at the post office to confirm... shocked

2.. MI UI na another level entirely... I love everything about the phone UI

3.. Finger print scanner is super fast... Other features like... Dual app, second space, make sense too.

4. Battery performance na die too 20% for 4 hours I will charge overnight.. it came with 2A 5V charger fast enough

5. Camera is just average... I'm disappointed anyways..

6. Design looks premium...

7. I was trying to snap selfie the it showed my age... I was like what's happening. grin

I'm not selling again... cool
