I have previously shared in the forum that even when the shown "coupon" above has expired, it can still be use to buy the ferry tickets at S$28 (my uncle test it before).
Today i just went to Horizon Ferry counter at Harbour Front Singapore, i overheard an Indonesian maid trying to use an expired coupon to buy the coupon version of Horizon Ferry ticket, citing it was given to her by her "boss". The counter staff tells her that expired coupon can no longer be used to buy ticket to go Batam anymore (i asked the staff about it, they say last time can,but now cannot).
Just updating.
This upcoming CNY 2020 Batam trip, i have bought a "recycled-lookalike" original blue ticket online at S$38 (expiring June 2020) and just went over to Horizon Ferry counter at Harbour Front to collect my boarding pass (for CNY). It works well.
And i plan to come back to Singapore NOT with the blue original Horizon open ticket but with the coupon version of open ticket. Then upon return, i will sell my Horizon original one-way open ticket away (retailing at S$32 from Horizon ferry). Resulting the cost to be reduced to become about S$32 (2-way) or less for my upcoming CNY 2020 trip.
Do note another thing is that if one has the "coupon version of Horizon Ferry ticket" that expires on December 2019, he/she can no longer use it after December 31st to get a boarding pass to return to Singapore from Harbour Bay Horizon Ferry counter.
Meaning to say, if you go to Batam on the "coupon version of Horizon ferry ticket" on 31st December 2019 and plan to use the other side of the same ticket to return to Singapore, it wont work. Harbour Bay side will ask you to buy another one way return-to-Singapore ferry ticket.
A note i received from one of the bro in this forum, E-ticket CANNOT be use during the CNY 2020 holiday.
Just sharing and updating information here.
* i will be saving up on ONLY coupons that expires on 31st March 2020.
** i learned something from Horizon Ferry regarding the "recycled-lookalike" ticket and might share this info on future post.
