A TNG eWallet user recently found their account temporarily frozen. Here’s why restrictions happen, how it works, and what you can do next.

I think what hurts the #QR payment method branding the most is how even when it's advertised as it just works, even across countries, it's not that uncommon for there to be some weird gotchas.

For example, even within Malaysia itself, dumbasses like
#TouchNGo loves 'gatekeeping' some QR payment options to only work with their e-Wallet and not the national standard, #DuitNow. In other cases, there might be instances where you'd think paying to this QR would work when that QR works and they all look the same - turns out that's not the case cos one's a merchant QR and the other's a personal QR. Pretty fucking dumb and unnecessary distinction/incompatibility (imo).

Same experience when going abroad e.g. Thailand. Some QRs, you could make payments to it. Other QRs, even when they're branding the same 'logo' e.g.
#ThaiQR, it ends up not working cos of some arbitrary distinction. They really gotta fix this. Now, I'm wondering if it's the same experience for travellers coming to Indonesia.. I gotta find a 'merchant' QR and a 'personal' QR to see if I could scan and make payments to them.
#Prasarana/#MRT are hellbent on not supporting card payments on their ticket gates, huh - so we could stop using #TouchNGo like a friggin pleb and use #Apple/#Google Pay instead as one would do in the 21st century. Even the ancient #KTMB trains have long supported this option. Noobs.
Oh, also, the #Setel app’s street parking feature’s nice too. It supports paying for parking in multiple city councils if not all of em - some of em not even supported on #TouchNGo ’s (shitty) #TnGeWallet app. It’s also handy enough to tell u if u don’t gotta pay for parking. I also expect that you could pay for parking straight off of your card rather than needing to topup, unlike some other parking apps (including TnG I think).

Yikes, don’t tell me that the MLFF toll system will be tied exclusively to #TouchNGo/#TnGeWallet.. it’d be a massive downgrade for us to FINALLY support NFC-based (bank) payment methods at the toll gates, instead of locking to only Touch N Go, and then go backwards from that when we have MLFF.
