The government is currently having a 20% toll rebate scheme for those who register 80 toll transactions and above on a single Touch ‘n Go card. This scheme begins this month.
Kind of odd that the scheme is not based on amount of toll used per month but rather on frequency of use, but no matter, something is better than nothing I guess. The way the rules are currently, one who pays 50 sen for toll 80 times a month (RM40) enjoys a rebate while one who pays RM2.20 toll 60 times a month (RM132) will not.
From what I can gather, all you need to do is to continue using your Touch ‘n Go card as normal. Using it in a Smart TAG works as well. But just to be safe you might want to register your Touch ‘n Go card first at the Touch ‘n Go Frequent Travelers Programme website (here is a FAQ). UPDATE: From what I’ve been made understand, the registration is not required to be enrolled in the program. You only need to register if you want to keep track of how many transactions you’ve used. This will make it easier for you to see if you’ve hit 80 a month.
Claiming your rebate is not automatic. Each calendar month, you will have to bring your card to the Touch ‘n Go center at Faber Towers or KL Sentral, or selected highway sales centres. If you qualify for a rebate, the 20% rebate will be credited into your card on the spot. You can only start collecting your rebates beginning 5th October 2009.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express frustration that the 20% toll rebate scheme is flawed, difficult to claim, and not automatic, causing inconvenience and suspicion of insincerity from the government. Many users highlight issues like missing transactions, registration failures, limited benefits for those outside Klang Valley, and excessive requirements like 80 toll transactions to qualify. Some feel the system is unproductive, complicated, and only benefits toll operators. Others criticize the high transaction threshold, lack of automatic rebate processing, and administrative hassles, believing it discourages regular users and benefits only certain groups. There is a general sentiment that the scheme is poorly implemented, unfair, and serves government interests rather than genuinely easing the burden on toll users.
