Touch n go, malaysia.


Is toll plus fares for plus expressway in high way. Meaning, when you drive to high way certain distance there's a counter to want you pay money for the facilities. lol... Most of the country have this kind of system for their own system services.

There's some package but I only know 2. 

First, is the Pulau Pinang bridge "Touch N Go" card you have to register this in the Toll Plus office at the Pulau Pinang bridge. If you register here, you will get 20% discount (i think so) for the bridge every entrance per time for go and back. But this package will only get discount for the Pulau Pinang bridge, if you purchase other Toll Plus counter will not get discount because it only discount for Pulau Pinang bridge. If you work from mainland to island most of the day then this should be good for you.

Second, is PlusMiles this is special for mainland or other place except for Pulau Pinang bridge and some places (but i don't know which place else). Here's the link that you can about it. " http://www.plusmiles.com.my/askplusmiles.aspx " you can view here to understand what's the benefit you can get. But i only know this second package is not discount for Pulau Pinang bridge. (You may notice this). 

For this "Touch N Go" is a reload card that just scan and do payment when you reach a counter. Each of the card that you register will has "10 years" expired date.

If in "1 year" you never used before then this card will be list in "black list". Yes, this is ridiculous system. When you get block in black list and inside your card has balance or money. So don't worry you can claim back through a "customer service center" call this number: 03 - 2714 8888 or " http://www.plus.com.my/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=87&Itemid=110&lang=en " and tell the owner name of card. Them they will bank-in to your bank account. 
The customer service centres operate daily at the following toll plazas: " http://www.plus.com.my/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=88&Itemid=112 "

For register online, you should have the "Touch N Go" card first then you only can register online. Because is their requirement maybe they can track or store the mileage that you have been, just like the online bank statement it's show anything your details  have done before and in system to be a history. The online is for checking e-statement to view your payment history, distance and when.  

I hope this can help for those people in Malaysia that don't know about this. Because i also have this card, when that time i get this i saw the cashier doesn't explain about this when you purchase for every person (is truth!). But when you saw the problem is too late, you have to go to the office that you purchase before. You can't go other outlet they won't help you because your card system is not record at other places. And also you can't do this by your own in the online website "http://plusmiles.com.my/" will not solve your problem also. Anywhere, you have to go there to solve the problem you had, you need find a off day to go there because it's only available in working hour. 

Strongly recommended, when you register "Touch N Go" card at any outlet please ask about the details, function, benefit and more before you leave the office and remember it! what they told you!
