Healthpoints redemption for 62,000 Healthy 365 accounts suspended due to abuse in QR code scanning: HPB

SINGAPORE - More than 60,000 users of the Health Promotion Board's Healthy 365 app have had their Healthpoint rewards and redemption service suspended after anomalies were detected in the scanning of programme registration QR codes.

These can be redeemed through the app for vouchers to use at places such as Koi, Lazada or FairPrice. Members of the public who receive QR codes from unverified sources are advised not to scan the codes, said HPB, adding that if in doubt, they should contact HPB for clarification. As of Saturday, HPB had lifted the suspension on 17 accounts after the participation of these users in the programme the codes were meant for had been verified.Facebook user Ezekiel Lim wrote on Thursday saying that the redemption service appeared to be suspended for"no apparent reason".
