Touch ‘n Go Group has announced the cycle 1 and 2 winners of its Touch ‘n Go RFID Free Toll Contest where 16 lucky RFID users were selected to win a year of free toll.

The Touch ‘n Go RFID Free Toll Contest, running now till 18 November 2022, is open to all Malaysians above the age of 18 who use Class 1 private-owned vehicles. The mechanics of the contest is easy and straightforward. Users will need to purchase and activate their Touch ‘n Go RFID and use it at least 5 times for toll payments during the contest period to be in the running to win a year of free toll. 8 winners will be selected every 2 weeks. In total, there will be 40 winners of the Touch ‘n Go RFID Free Toll Contest.

The 8 winners from cycle 1 of the contest are Loh Kean Huat and Yasir bin Che Abdullah from Kuala Lumpur, Kyle Nicholas Hon and Kor Yen Sing from Selangor, Lee Yi Hao and Mohamad Firdaus Bin Ajis from Negeri Sembilan, Mohd Zainal Bin Mohd Shafiei from Perak and Loh Bee Ling from Penang.

The winners were elated when they were contacted by a representative of Touch ‘n Go. Most of them agreed that the free toll prize will help them to ease their burden of paying tolls daily, and some were also excited to start exploring the different states of Malaysia with their family and friends.

“This contest was very easy to join. All I needed was to purchase, install, and use my Touch ‘n Go RFID. My experience with RFID has been seamless. The barrier gates open really fast, and I’ve had a 100% success rate at all toll booths. I’m a frequent highway user and winning this contest means I will have at least RM6,000 in savings every month,” said Yasir Bin Che Abdullah.

“Winning this contest means I can save money of course, because I’m using toll almost every day to go to work. Apart from that, I will also be planning for more local travel trips with my family,” said Loh Kean Huat.

“I bought the Touch ‘n Go RFID tag to travel to Penang with my girlfriends as I wanted to ensure a seamless journey. After the trip, I received a call informing me that I was the winner of the Touch ‘n Go RFID Free Toll contest. I was in total disbelief! Now, with the one-year free toll, I plan to continue my travel journey with my girlfriends to the other states as well,” said Ong Wei Wei.

“Thank you Touch ‘n Go for giving me a chance to win this contest. It was so easy to join and win! I love using RFID when I go through the tolls, and I love my prize. With the one-year toll, I can’t wait to travel to all destinations in Peninsular Malaysia with my family and friends!”, said Mohd Khairul Anwar Bin Ismail Rosdi.

Prabakaran Sangarajoo, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Touch ‘n Go Group was on hand to congratulate the winners, “We would like to congratulate our first and second round of winners of the Free Toll contest. The contest is designed to reward our Touch ‘n Go RFID users and we strongly encourage anyone who has yet to get themselves an RFID tag, to try it out and experience this convenient payment method while going through tolls or for fuelling. We have 3 more cycles to go, with 8 winners selected per cycle. So, there is plenty of opportunity to win a year of free toll travel.”

Besides paying for tolls, Touch ‘n Go RFID can also be used to pay for petrol at selected Shell stations across the country. To refuel with Touch ‘n Go RFID, users simply need to park their vehicles at the RFID designated fuelling bays, and payment will be auto-debited from their Touch n’ Go eWallets, allowing them to proceed with refuelling their vehicles. Any unutilised amount will be immediately refunded to the users’ Touch 'n Go eWallet accounts.

The Touch ‘n Go RFID tags can be purchased at the Touch ‘n Go NU Sentral and Bangsar South service and sales centres, designated RFID fitment centres, and at selected petrol stations across Malaysia. They are also available for online purchase via the Touch ‘n Go RFID portal, official Touch ‘n Go stores on Lazada and Shopee, as well as the Touch ‘n Go eWallet. Users will receive RM8 cashback for purchases via the Touch ‘n Go eWallet and a RM8 reload pin for purchases via the RFID portal during the campaign period.
