(SPOT.ph) GrabCar riders in Metro Manila may just get some extra cash in their accounts this February. In a statement released on February 4, Grab Philippines will disburse P6.25 million to selected GrabCar passengers who used the service from August 11 to October 31, 2019. This directive comes from the Philippine Competition Commission, who found pricing issues in the ride-hailing app's transactions during the aforementioned time frame. Grab remains firm that they have "[remained] compliant with the fare matrix of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board." On their site, they explained that the "surge fares resulted in a breach of the maximum pricing threshold set by the [Philippine Competition Commission] PCC" due to "the lack of GrabCar supply."

For every GrabCar fare of P488 paid from August 11 to October 31, 2019, a GrabCar passenger will be eligible for a one-peso disbursement through the GrabRewards Catalogue within the app. Just make sure that you have activated GrabPay to be able to get the refund on February 9. Recipients who have not yet completed the validation process are required to do so prior to redemption, the statement pointed out.
