As the saying goes, “When life gives you lemons…”. You know the gist. In this lemonade making bonanza, the Ministry of Finance has been very kind as to allocate a much appreciated RM30 as part of the e-Tunai Rakyat initiative. Claiming the e-Tunai Rakyat could not be any easier; simply log in to an eWallet account of choice and select “Claim”!
As of today, as many as 6 MILLION Malaysians have successfully claimed their e-Tunai Rakyat with an accumulative total of RM180 Million having been distributed to said claimants.
The e-Tunai Rakyat claim can be made from three selected e-wallet players. But still, that may be one too many. Selection of eWallet use has always been relatively straightforward, with users rotating between participating wallets and which benefits stood out to them the most - between cashbacks and loyalty points.
With everything ranging from ongoing cashbacks at various participating merchant chains to prizes from specific campaigns, Touch ‘n Go eWallet could be the missing link between you and enjoying an absolutely seamless lifestyle!
Currently ongoing for Touch ‘n Go eWallet is the Big 2 Million Weekly Draw.
To touch briefly, the “Big 2M Weekly Draw” is - as the name suggests - a weekly lucky draw contest that began on the 15th of January 2020 and will run until the 10th of March 2020. Here’s how you can earn your entries and be in the running for the 71 prizes every week!
First and foremost is to claim their e-Tunai Rakyat with Touch ‘n Go eWallet, and users can then earn entries to the contest.
Essentially, users get 1x entry per transaction during the campaign period, and 2x entries per transaction as a successful ‘e-Tunai Rakyat’ claimant.
Additionally, if users have added their TNG card to their Touch ‘n Go eWallet, and if they are an RFID user, they will get additional 2x entries.
For users who added or saved their debit card in their Touch ‘n Go eWallet before or during the campaign period, they will earn 50 entries (one-off).
The contest entails prizes that include Proton x70’s, Yamaha Ego Solariz’s, Huawei P30 Pro’s and Vivo V15’s.
For those of you worried that ineligibility to claim the e-Tunai Rakyat might impede your inclusion, fret not! The Big 2 Million Weekly Draw is open to EACH and EVERY Malaysian! The Touch ‘n Go eWallet brand has always been built in foundations of rewarding its users. This could not be more true as it echoes in the testimony of the first week’s big winner, Ong Pei Yin, who had this to say;-
“I have been using Touch ‘n Go eWallet on a daily basis. When the winners were first announced and I received the call from TNG Digital Sdn Bhd, it was so surreal that I had to double check my name on the website! When the shock was over, I became really excited to win a brand-new car. I would encourage my friends and family, as well as my fellow Malaysians to keep trying and to participate in the Big 2 Million Weekly Draw campaign.”
Like our first winner Pei Yin, you too can make use of the Touch ‘n Go eWallet on a daily basis (ps: it's even easier than you think)! We’re showing you how and where you can earn your entries for the Big 2 Million Weekly Draw.
