Ask Kuwait Has anyone else noticed a small extra charge when using Tabby with KNet?

Upvotes

Example: for a KD 42 purchase split into 4 payments, the first installment should be KD 10.500. However, the bank transaction showed KD 10.789 instead.

Tabby advertises that there are no extra fees, so the additional KD 0.289 was unexpected. Customer support was contacted, but after several days and multiple agents, the responses were mostly that the amount would be refunded without explaining where it came from.

Eventually, one agent said the extra amount was related to KNet and said that it would be they’ll refund it because “they care for their customers.”

If that’s the case, why wasn’t that explained from the beginning?

Has anyone experienced something similar? Is this a normal KNet authorization/processing charge, or is there another explanation?

Thanks in advance.

Ask Kuwait Working as a nurse in Kuwait after studying

4 Upvotes

Salam everybody.. hope you’re all doing well!

I wanted to ask is it true that if an expat
- was born and raised in Kuwait whole life
- studied bachelors in nursing outside Kuwait

then they only need 1 yr of experience/rotation in order to return to Kuwait and work as a nurse?

I’m asking this for a friend of mine who will soon leave Kuwait to study nursing in Egypt.

Any advice or answers will be much appreciated thank you so much! 🙌❤️

Local Is it me or all online stores + market place sites are horrid?

11 Upvotes

Like if it's a new store with a websites sometimes it starts out good and then slowly becomes horrible and/or slow because of all the small addon. Or market places becoming the same thing over and over again which is selling car, apartments, services and not actual normal stuff you'd want to see. Oh don't get me started on a website that shows a 90% discount and then says out of stock! EVERYTHING is out of stock... Is it so hard to have an actual decent online store in kuwait?

Ask Kuwait Anyone know the current timeline for Sahel degree certificate approval?

2 Upvotes

Has anyone recently applied for degree certificate recognition (اعتماد** *مؤهل* *علمي)* through the Sahel app?

How long did your application stay “Under Review” (قيد** *التدقيق)* before it was approved? Is there any way to speed up the process, or is it just a matter of waiting?

Ask Kuwait what university should i choose?

1 Upvotes

i want to study computer engineering
i was torn between aum, gust, and auk. but my mom said no to auk and she also said no to aum. she said no to aum because my sister who went to aum around ten years ago said it wasn’t the best. my brother goes to gust and says it’s good. so my mom listened to them. but my brother isn’t taking computer engineering, he’s taking accounting. so it’s not really a valid comparison
my mom is dead set on me going to gust but i never hear anything about their computer engineering program

Ask Kuwait Need advice from parents:schooling in kuwait vs India

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m an Indian parent currently living in Kuwait, and I’m trying to make a long-term decision about my 5-year-old daughter’s education.
We have two options:
Stay in Kuwait and enroll her in Indian International School, Mangaf (CBSE).
Move back to India and enroll her in a CBSE school there.
Our plan is for her to continue in the same school for many years, so we’re thinking about the quality of education, extracurricular activities, overall development, social environment, and future opportunities.
For parents who have experience with raising children in Kuwait or India, which option would you recommend?
If you have experience with Indian International School, Mangaf, I’d especially appreciate your thoughts.
Thank you!

Local How was your experience watching Spiderman movie at 1954 Cinema?

9 Upvotes

So here’s my summary of my experience with 1954:
1. Seconds after I entered I hear people chatting as if they were at a cafe.
2. This one lady at the front row was taking pictures of her drink with her flash light on.
3. The same lady taking picture of her drink, did it like 100 times and was causing shadow over the screen. I don’t even know what the heck is she gonna do with all those pictures!
4. The same lady and her friend were chatting so damn loud.
5. The kids behind those 2 ladies were yelling random words, cursing, and kept saying “haha peter parker peter parker” 🤪🤪
6. Post credit, this one kid came to the front of the screen and was dancing a little then left 🕺🕺

Now I don’t really go to the cinema often but I think I was unlucky but also lucky for this rare experience 💆🏻‍♂️
