New Enhanced Touch ‘n Go card with NFC reload feature a hot seller – all sold out within 3 hours!

New Enhanced Touch ‘n Go card with NFC reload feature a hot seller – all sold out within 3 hours!

The new Enhanced Touch ‘n Go Card is proving to be the latest hot ticket in town, as demand has seen the new card with the added near-field communication (NFC) capability become sold out within just three hours from its launch today.

Some Touch ‘n Go eWallet users – including a few on the paultan.org team – have experienced their orders disappearing from the eWallet app’s order queue, though these missing orders have since returned. Although the NFC-capable Enhanced Touch ‘n Go card has sold out on the eWallet mobile app, the new cards may still be available to purchase at physical retail stores.

The new Enhanced version of the Touch ‘n Go card essentially enables the topping up of credit to be done with an NFC-capable smartphone and the eWallet app, thus giving users the option of bypassing physical reload locations such as kiosks and retail outlets. According to Touch ‘n Go, the new card also gains improved encryption for better security.

As with the previous version of the card, credit balance on the Enhanced version of the card continues to be separate from that of the eWallet, though this too can be linked using the PayDirect function. Non-PayDirect transactions will continue to withdraw from the physical card’s balance.

      Finally TNG can be united with eWallet. Unlike the useless RFID stickers that cost 3X of the NFC-enabled card

    After RFID, this is another method to suck our hard earned money. How many did you print? 10pcs? Really sold out 10pcs never told lie. Just another marketing strategy to attract others to drop into this trap!!!

        Try to buy an old one. Try do drive on the road without using highway. What do you talking about? Because MY f*cked up public and slow transport it became a highly car depend nation now… so it’s even worse, it’s a monopole of a necessary service!!!

    Not available at TnG Hub Nu Sentral mall either. They did not even know it was officially launched today, nor do they know when it will be in stock at this hub. Was given the standard answer of Takde & Tak Tau.

    The touch n go card will be phased out in 2025:

    Why still launch a new card when it is phasing out in 3 years time?

      It’s ‘planned’ to be phased out.

      Plans always change when it’s Malaysia.
