I have quite a number of EZ-Link Cards with quite large value locked inside - value which could be put to better use (eg: as money for bank interest gains or investment gains) without surrendering. How I wish I could use EZ-LInk directly at SAM and AXS for large bill payments. Any suggestions to "unlock" these values in EZ-Link Cards without surrendering the cards (before their expiry dates)?
Can't one just go to the ATM and refund the values in the cards into the bank account? I recall I could do so for those expired NFP card, not so sure about the EZ-Link ones.
