Q: My card expired in 2020, at the height of the pandemic. When I was finally able to go to my local station to transfer money from my old card to the new one, I was told that only certain stations could do this now. Months later when I finally arrived at Barclays Center station (a few miles from me) I was told that she could no longer transfer the money. The clerk gave me a form and told me to fill it out and send my old card back. I will receive a refund by check. But I still haven’t had a return or refund. Please advise me on what I could do. — Felicia Glucksman

A: We received your request and issued a refund on March 8 to the credit card used to purchase the original MetroCard. Depending on your bank, it may take a few days for the money to appear in your account.

As a reminder, customers have up to one year from the expiration date to transfer the value of an old MetroCard Pay-Per-Ride to a new one at one of our vending machines. After that, you must send your card to the Customer Claims Office in Brooklyn within 12 months. Postage-paid envelopes are available at station counters.

The process is slightly different for discount customers, who have up to a year to transfer the expired value to their new discount card through Mobile Sales or by visiting 3 Stone St. or any of the 13 station ticket offices. where we process these transactions. :
