Earlier this month, it was revealed that the next batch of the Enhanced Touch ‘n Go Card would be available for purchase in June, but it appears the new stock has arrived earlier.
Social media users reported that they were notified by the Touch ‘n Go eWallet app earlier this morning that they could once again purchase the NFC-enabled card, but as with the first batch, it was all sold out incredibly quickly – just a matter of hours.
Demand for the Enhanced Touch ‘n Go Card has been high from the start, as the new card retailed for RM10 – the same as the previous version without NFC – but enabled users to top up credit by using their mobile devices.
For those who haven't purchased this new TNG card yet, you may go purchase now!! ???? pic.twitter.com/THhqxEgOn8

This makes it a lot more convenient as users no longer need to seek out a kiosk or head to a counter to top up their cards. The Enhanced Touch ‘n Go Card is linked to the TnG eWallet app, the latter being necessary to perform any reloads. A detailed breakdown of the Enhanced Touch ‘n Go Card can be found here.
Given the popularity of the card, there are those looking to capitalise on the high demand, low supply situation by reselling cards for well above the RM10 retail price. Are one of the lucky few to get your hands on the Enhanced Touch ‘n Go Card? How has your experience been with it so far?
The new TnG card is like sambal nyet. Sold out right after its restock announcement ????

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
They need to limit 1 card per account for now. I bet people are buying many just to resell later.
It is like trying to buy an Old Trafford ticket.
Even with 60,000 there still run out on most matches
Sure finish, restock 1000pcs this time, and last round pilot run was 100pcs , vs. 33millions population.
FOMO hits malaysians. there is no rush to get.
If restock 10,000 unit then sure sold out in a couple of minutes. Must restock 10million units then okay la. Haiya.
Don’t feed the scalpers. Like bitcoin, wait patiently and just enjoy the crash when they have to pay you to take these off their hands.
Lol the most they will do is sell at a loss. Pay to take it off their hands? What are you talking about.
Why a piece of sticker is 3.5 times the price of a card with NFC technology???
The sticker has more security features. If you even try to tamper with it, it automatically fails. This card otoh could be hacked as the technology in it is old.
Why is it so hard to produce plastic cards? It’s not exactly a limited material unlike computer chips and whatnot. Maybe this is just a ploy to garner hype and attention.
Where can I transfer my old t& go balance to new card. I am from jb
You can’t. I’ve checked with TnG and you can only request a refund for the balance in the old card which cannot be transferred to the NFC compatible card.
you need to register card in TnG card portal then request refund at erefund portal. then request to credit to ewallet account
should give priority to those with expiring cards
You must be mistaken. This NFC card does not make current nonNFC ones obsolete. If you have expiring cards you can get new current TNG cards replacements which are plenty available. Scalpers dont care about these unless it is those limited edition ones. Just get plain TNG cards will do fine.
please try to change your expiring card at nu sentral, right now no stock cos the old version of the card has ceased to exist
Can’t even get a notification despite clicking the notify me button.. sigh..
The TnG people are total idiots who does things whiteout ever using their brains (this is if they have one in the first place). Simple maths would tell them that whatever puny amount of cards they’ve launched (now twice) isn’t gonna be enough but of course they never thought about this at all cos if they ever did then theyd know to just simply look at the amount of active TnG card users are there in the market so they can do a rough estimate for the number of enhanced carda to produce before freaking launching it! All they bother about is how and what other stupid products they can come up with so they can make more money out of us users.
Why sell TnG cards when the push is towards RFIDs? Doesn’t make sense unless the company wants more money by selling the cards. What is the ultimate toll payment system here?
coz, it’s not fully integrated yet.
many parking operators who opt for TnG still require physical card intervention.
and some toll booths only have 1 or 2 equipped with RFID. during peak hours many got stock & cars behind need to go smartag or tng booth
Ultimate payment system is to tattoo RFID tag on your forehead so wherever you go, for tolls, for parking, for LRT, just stick your head out and you can pass thru.
I answer with a question, can you using TnG RFID to pay parking fee, bus n train fare or purchase or good at shops that accept TnG payment?
Scalper is out there
Should charge those reselling at higher price in court. It is unfair to genuine buyer. Limit 1 to 1 person.
There is no laws against scalping tho…
The answer is simple. Demand horrendously exceed tiny supply. Btw no thanks to chips shortages either.
Where to sue or complaint the Plus and Touch n go for monopoly and play dirty for exploiting end user force to use TnG at All toll and almost parking lots. But Wtf keep no stock and resellers can sell at higher prices from RM88-290 per card?? Fomca please take action!
This have 3th party to deal with them, and sell it x10 expensive to earn money by all of you
