You may have seen the ad in the subway for EasyPay and it think it’s a good idea. We all have seen the used MetroCards on the floor and it’s really a waste. The MTA is looking forward charging $1.00 for each new metrocard passengers buy in part to mitigate this problem but also to make an extra buck out of poor NY kers. I have been in a rush going to work to find out my MetroCard has no funds and I have to make the line to buy a new one, and see my train pass by. Has that happened to you? Here is how to avoid it:
About EasyPay

The EasyPay MetroCard is linked to your credit or debit card, and refills automatically as you use it.

With EasyPay there's no more waiting in line to buy or refill a MetroCard.
All EasyPay customers have the convenience of using our automated telephone service or easypaymetrocard.com to track their account 24/7.

Here’s all you need to do:
1. Apply online now with a credit or debit card
2. Select either the ‘Pay-Per Ride’ or ‘Unlimited Ride’ option
Note: If you choose the 30-Day Unlimited Ride option, we require that you provide two credit and/or debit card accounts.
3. Get your new card in the mail and use it right away.
How to decide which payment option is right for you:
If you choose: 30-Day Unlimited Ride
• You can ride any subway or local bus, but not express buses
• Open your account with $104, the same as if you bought it at a booth, vending machine or merchant
• Like any other 30-Day Unlimited Ride MetroCard, the card is activated when you first use it
• Near the end of 30 consecutive days from first use, your credit or debit card will be charged $104, and your first use after that will start a new 30-Day time period. Before this happens though, you will be sent an e-mail to notify you and give you the option to change to Pay-Per-Ride.
• We automatically replace your expiring MetroCard one week prior to the expiration of your old MetroCard
If you choose: Pay-Per-Ride
• You can ride any subway, local or express bus
• Open your account with $30
• Earn a 7% bonus for every $10 added, so your account starts with $32.10
• Your account replenishes automatically with $30 when your balance falls below $20.
**
• You can ride any subway, local or express bus
• Open your account with $10 with the Pay-Per-Ride option
• Earn a 7% bonus for every $10 added, so your account starts with $10.70
• Your account replenishes automatically when your balance falls below $10
• Your replenishment amount may be increased to cover the number of rides you take during your billing cycle; you will receive a notice informing you of the new replenishment amount
• You never pay more than $52 in a billing cycle ($52 is half of the $104 cost of a 30-Day Unlimited Ride card). Your account automatically converts to unlimited rides whenever the required number of subway and/or local bus rides has been fulfilled. Express bus fares are added to the total of your monthly rides, but do not count towards the unlimited ride conversion per month
• There are no charges if you are not using your EasyPay MetroCard.
