(SPOT.ph) So now that RFID is here, it's likely what you use to get through our pay-to-use highways (why else would you have clicked on this article?). We're sure there's one thing on your mind as you near a tollgate: Do I have enough balance? Accesing your digital balances, especially if you’re already on the road, can be quite the hassle. For the less tech savvy, navigating Easytrip and Autosweep might even be a bit of an enigma.
The good news is that you’ll only need a phone—and some guidance.
A quick refresher: Easytrip tags can be used in NLEX, SCTEX, CAVITEX, C5 Link, and CALAX, while Autosweep can be used in Skyway, SLEX, STAR, TPLEX, and NAIA Expressway. Motorists blocking the flow of traffic at the RFID lane caused by insufficient load will be issued a ticket for “obstruction” so make sure to keep mind of your balance before going on a road trip.

How to check RFID Easytrip balance
There are five ways to check your Easytrip balance using your phone:
Quick Balance Inquiry
The Easytrip website has a “Quick Balance Inquiry” pop up where you’ll have to enter your account number. Provide additional information such as plate number, email, or contact number and agree to the terms and conditions to proceed.
MPT DriveHub
Easytrip balances can be accessed through the MPT DriveHub app.
You’ll only need to register your payment information once then top up through mobile wallets like GCash and Maya. As a bonus, MPT DriveHub doubles as a directory to find the nearest gas stations, restaurants, and restrooms along highways. It’ll let you in on traffic updates in real time, too.
You can download MPT DriveHub on iOS and Android.

Customer Account Management System
Here’s a lengthier version of the Quick Balance Inquiry. Enter the Customer Account Management System through the myeasytrip website by inputting username and password. You’ll have to register a myeasytrip account.
