Running now till Nov 18, 2022, above 18-Malaysians who own Class 1 private-owned vehicles will need to purchase and activate their Touch 'n Go RFID and use it at least 5 times for toll payments during the period.
The company said eight winners will be selected every 2 weeks, equalling 40 winners in total.

Touch 'n Go Group deputy chief executive officer Prabakaran Sangarajoo said the contest is designed to reward our Touch 'n Go RFID users.
"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 fuel. 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," he said.
One of the winners, Yasir, said the contest was easy to join, saying "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 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,"
For Loh, he said winning the contest means saving money.
"I'm using the toll almost every day to go to work. Apart from that, I will also be planning for more local travel trips with my family," he added.
"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.
Plus, the RFID can pay for petrol at selected Shell stations by simply parking at the RFID-designated fuelling bays and payment will be auto-debited from their Touch 'n Go eWallets.
The unutilised amount will be immediately refunded to the users' Touch 'n Go eWallet accounts.
Moreover, the 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 as well as be purchased online via the Touch 'n Go RFID portal, official Touch 'n Go stores on Lazada and Shopee, as well as the Touch 'n Go eWallet.
