In an effort to get more people to use the e wallet application, the government set the new MySejahtera app as a requirement to redeem the RM50 e-wallet application credit. Once you have the app, the RM50 credit is expected to be credited directly to verified e wallet application partners starting in July until September 2020.

Touch ‘n Go eWallet Offers Over RM300 in vouchers
As for TNG e Wallet application, you’ll need to be among the first 1 million claimants to reap the full benefits of the additional perks. That’s because you’ll get fifty vouchers worth more than RM300 in value.
However, after the first 1 million successful claims, the remaining 4 million allocations (TNG Digital says it is capping the total claims to 5 million only) will receive a random set of vouchers and on a first come, first served basis until all voucher allocations are exhausted. There’s no mention of the total value of this bundle you’ll receive, so it’s probably best to act fast if you want to claim from TNG eWallet.
Boost Offers Additional RM80 in vouchers
Under its #KasiTambah campaign, you can get an additional RM80 in benefits if you claim your Penjana applicatin credit from Boost. RM60 of this actually comes from monthly RM5 discounts off a Celcom XP Lite postpaid plan for a year, with the remaining RM20 in the form of random cashback vouchers in a Lifestyle Rewards Bundle once you spend RM5 of the ePenjana credit. On top of that, all approved applications will also count as one entry to stand a chance to win monthly prizes, such as a Perodua Myvi, a Yamaha motorbike, as well as gadgets and gift vouchers.
Grab Offers Up to RM125 in vouchers
Grab is matching the RM50 Penjana incentive credit with RM50 worth of vouchers. Unlike both Boost and TNG eWallet (as you’ll see below), the vouchers are fixed and are not given randomly. You will get RM5 vouchers for six F&B outlets, and two RM10 “lifestyle” vouchers. Note that each voucher has its own terms and conditions for usage, and may have differing minimum spend requirements.
In addition, Grab is giving another set of vouchers worth a total of RM75 as part of a Weekly Bonus. To be eligible, you’ll need to be among the first 7,000 to spend the RM50 Penjana incentive credit and use at least one Grab service (Grab ride, GrabFood, GrabMart, or GrabExpress) within the campaign week to win the bonus of RM75 in vouchers on top of the RM50 voucher bundle, for a total of RM125 in bonuses.
