Users of the Touch ‘n Go eWallet app may have received a notification earlier today (Aug 24) informing them that the company’s NFC-enabled enhanced TNG cards will be coming back in stock tomorrow morning at 10am in the app.
Following frustration from consumers on being unable to secure one of these enhanced cards during the previous restock batches, Touch ‘n Go has put a limit of one card per user order in place, which is down from the previous maximum of two cards.
This comes after complaints from consumers that scalpers were somehow able to obtain an unspecified number of these NFC-enabled cards, and were reselling them online at several times the original price during the previous waves.
In a post to their Facebook page, Touch ‘n Go highlighted that buyers should be wary of non-genuine cards sold by unauthorised sellers or frauds, with the use of cloned, counterfeited, and/or hacked cards potentially putting the accounts of users at risk.

Those keen on grabbing one of the enhanced NFC-enabled cards should install the Touch ‘n Go eWallet app on their smartphone, and be on standby at 10am tomorrow morning to make the purchase.
The card is priced at RM10, with an additional RM5 added on for shipping when ordered through the app.

Do note that the ability to directly reload the card from the Touch ‘n Go eWallet app requires that the users’ smartphone have the NFC feature – for iPhone users, all models after the iPhone 7 come with NFC capabilities, while for Android, users will need to check in the phone’s settings if there is an option to enable NFC.
For those who missed out on the restock, make sure to navigate to the order page in the eWallet app and tap on the “Yes, Notify Me” button to receive a notification once the next restock is on the way.
Customers can also check the list of authorised TNG dealers on the company’s website. However, it’s worth noting that the outlets may also suffer from a shortage of stock for the enhanced card.
