Ever sat in the car wondering when you will ever be able to reload your Touch ‘n Go card through your eWallet instead of making a stop at the nearest gas station to do so? Us too.
Well, we have good news for you! Touch ‘n Go has finally launched its new and enhanced TNG card on Friday (22 April). Cardholders can now top-up their cards through the eWallet app conveniently, so gone are the days of visiting stores or reload kiosks to do so!
The enhanced TNG card comes with a near-field communication (NFC) capability, allowing you to reload directly from your TNG eWallet with no surcharge. As this has never been done before, you can expect a ton of buzz around the new card.
The sleek, minimalistic cards also have higher encryption for stronger security. This accompanied with its link to a TNG eWallet account adds an extra layer of security!
Other than that, when it comes to making payments at tolls, public transportation services, and over 700 parking sites, the card’s functions remain completely the same.
The new cards are now available for purchase at selected retail locations nationwide for RM10, the same price as the older cards. Alternatively, you can also opt to order the new card via the TNG app and have it shipped right over to you.
Since the demand for the new card is extremely high, users may show their interest in purchasing the new cards through the TNG eWallet app, should the stocks run short. Users will then be notified when more cards are available for purchase.
Once users receive their new TNG card, all they have to do is link it to their TNG eWallet account!
For NFC-compatible smartphones:
1. Hold the card to the back of your phone for 5 seconds
2. Wait for your card to be to activated
To manually link your card:
1. Select the ‘TNG Card’ feature on the app
2. Add your card and its details
Once it’s linked, users may view the balance on the card and reload it as they see fit. However, do note that each reload transaction is capped at RM500, while the card limit is RM1,500. The feature is available for both iOS and Android devices, and even allows users to link up to 5 TNG cards to their TNG eWallet!

Before making that trip down to your hometown, why not make the drive a safer one? Make sure that you and your car are sufficiently covered against any unforeseen circumstances.

That being said, make sure to service your car before you balik kampung. You won’t be able to utilize your new, loaded Touch n’ Go eWallet if you’re stranded on the road!
Before you make your trip, be sure to visit your trusty car mechanic and have them check out your car’s:
1. Tyres
2. Brakes
3. Air-conditioning
4. Lights
5. Hoses, belts, and wipers

Got plants, a faulty lock, or a new parcel coming? Let your neighbour know that you’ll be away, so that they can keep an eye out for any unusual activities. With the chaos of planning your Raya trip, you might forget to throw old groceries out from the refrigerator or close your windows, so it’s always beneficial to pass them a set of keys just in case! After all, you’ll never know when an electrical circuit might trip.
Imagine sitting in the car for hours without anything to munch on – talk about being hangry! Now, imagine sitting in the car with snacks laid out for you and your family. Wouldn’t the ride just be so much better?
If you’ve not prepped your snacks, fret not! Just drop by to the nearest gas station and stock up on snacks, bottled water and even ice cream! However, we would suggest that you pick these up before approaching the highway. Gas stations are usually packed during peak season, so you definitely would not want to spend a long time waiting in queue!
Nobody likes coming home to a messy house! Before you leave, take a couple of hours to clean your house and wipe all the surfaces down, especially stains that have been left uncleaned. That will make sure that you won’t to come home to a spoilt cabinet or a hefty cleaning bill.
Don’t forget to take out your trash as well! You wouldn’t want any food waste to attract stay animals or bugs into your house.
Further, making your bed before you go would make coming back to it that much better!
