Review of Using Touch n Go to buy Fast Food In Malaysia

I never knew that Touch n Go have such an amazing plan where consumer actually can use the card as a payment for certain fast food retail shop. According to TheStar newspaper, state that consumer can use start using such service starting from 19^th April 2008. The outlets that adopt such system are A&W, Burger King, Dunkin Donut, 7-Eleven, Carrefour Hypermarket, Caltex convenience store and also Cineleisure. I used to hope Touch n Go can provide service and now it had came true.

The most attractive point of this new service is that no extra charges are is required. For instant if your A&W cost you RM 6.80, and then it will be only RM6.80 deducted from your card. So in the coming days we can see people using Touch n Go for all the purchases. Parents can also use this as a daily expenses card for their children instead of giving the children cash.

However there are some limitation that I feel unsafe using such service. As we know Touch n Go is used by just touching the card to the paying machine and it’ll be direct deducted. So what if we lost our card? Even though the manage mention that they will block the card immediately, but then the card is so convenient where you can actually used up all the money by 1 goal and of course without identification where else credit cards and debit cards have identity verification.

How ever whether this new service is a good or bad thing is all depend on the consumer, some thing that losing a card might be just a small lost and the main concern is the convenient where some think oppositely.

Let me know what you think by replying after reading.
