Hi, recently got SC unlimited card and there is this Ez reload function. However I didn't activate this feature yet they still deduct $50.25 from the card?

As long as your EZ-link card hasn't expired, can do the one-to-one exchange

Most important is that the card is still readable so that they can transfer the value in the old card to the new card issued to you...

Card expiry 2024 also can change?

Any ezlink card can be traded in for a nfp card, the expiry date doesnt matter , as long as it a ezlink card tat haven expire they will trade u 1-1 for a nfp...

I recently traded in a found ezlink card with expiry 2024 too...

The purpose of all these free trade is to snatch ezlink customer over to nets lol

1. You extend the validity of your transport card
2. Nets FP can be used at more retail places

Ok. I see your point. It is good for those who want to extend card validity and they don't need to fork out $5 for the cost of the card.

But for those who wish to Auto Top-Up via credit card, it is better to use EZ-Reload because there is a convenience fee of $0.25 will be charged if use NETS FlashPay Auto Top-Up.

That's true. But then you can just use MasterCard to tap for transport. why need ezreload?

Haha, I have read some threads that there are people discussing about glitch on incorrect/double charged fare payment when using contactless bank card, plus the 1024 taps limit thingy.

I have summarized the transit payment options as below for those who wish to know the differences.

EZ-Link
-Tap using EZ-Link Card
-Required upfront top-up
-EZ-Reload by by Credit/Debit Card

NETS FlashPay
-Tap using NETS FlashPay Card
-Required upfront top-up
-Auto Top-Up (ATU) by Credit/Debit Card

SimplyGo (Formerly ABT)
-Tap using Contactless Credit/Debit Card with Mastercard, Visa (ABT Pilot) and NETS (ABT Pilot)
-Tap using mobile wallets such as Apple Pay, Fitbit Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay
-Not required upfront top-up, directly charged to your Credit/Debit Card.

With the ABT not being widely available for parking yet, all seem to have their shortfall, with no rewards for ez/flashpay topup.

Headache deciding which to embark on since i’m waiting for my first car.
