Waiting for that day to actually happen

Go to Lazada or Shopee.
Plenty of attractive design TNG card selling, but at premium price of course, if u willing to pay.

Eg.

Else you can go apply Tesco Clubcard (with built-in TNG feature) or Watson by walk-in.

Touch 'n Go card can hold RM5000 at once?

1500

Now that toll payments can deduct from E-wallet.
It would be great for existing money in TNG card to be able to transfer in to E-wallet.

I don't think that's doable at the moment. The problem with TnG is that the value of the card is stored in the card itself, not the server. Therefore, whenever you wanted to debit or credit the TnG card, it needs to be scanned to update the new value in the card.

What you're asking for is only doable if TnG provides a kiosk with scanner that allows customers to transfer their TnG card value to the eWallet account. Maybe we'll see that once PayDirect is enable for every single highway in the country, especially PLUS.

they did in the early days when ewallet was introduced.

it was called PUD (pick up device). it was used to transfer funds from e-wallet -> physical card, but doable from card -> ewallet.

My friend always quoted Hong Kong Octopus card n e-wallet
Their card balance and e-wallet balance able to sync almost instantly...

In order to achieve this, that mean the whole TnG infrastructure need to link to internet which current system can't support or need to have strong back-end processing which TnG hesitate to invest

Imagine every single vendor having PUD device Nationwide....
It's cost bomb to TnG

yup, that's why the PUD was scrubbed or swiped under the carpet

the problem is tng card's infra is archaic and offline when they started TNG many yearssssssssssssssssss ago.

the re-imagined of ewallet is good, imo. and gradually linking the offline tng card with online ewallet.

Yea, it's definitely a nightmare for TnG to implement such a big change to their existing infrastructure. I sincerely think the gradual migration to their eWallet app is the most cost efficient way to move forward, as long as they can get all the different highway concessionaires to opt-in.

Expired card if go to hab to change new card foc right?

Yes.

Any time frame to get it change? Mine July/2019 expire. Thank you.

After it expired? I changed mine after it was expired due to no new TnG card available back then. Had to repeatedly call the service center to inquire if they've restocked & when it did, I just went there & had it replaced.

You can also use your NRIC's TnG as backup if you're worried.

Since when did they no longer charge the deposit RM5? I remember last time when I changed mine many years ago, they collected the deposit as if like when you purchase a new card.

Deposit? Does that deposit go into your TnG card too?

I've only had an expired TnG card once so no idea when they stopped collecting the RM5 deposit.

As far as I rmbr, replace your wear-and-tear card (balance will refund to your CASA) and get a new one is free of charge.
I did mine at Bangsar South TNG main office.

For mine, they transferred the amount from the old card over to the new card. Did mine at the Penang Bridge TnG office.
