Playing my first game of Civ VII and I can’t escape the impression that my game is done at the end of Antiquity. The new age feels like a totally different game with very little connection to the previous age. Almost like advanced start in prior Civilization series.
Do you feel the same?
I received an email from OV telling me that my OV chipkaart will soon expire and that I am encouraged to start using OVpay as the chipkaart will soon become obsolete.
I said fine, I’ll wait till my chipkaart expires and move to OVpay. But lo and behold: I went to the OVpay website and it said if you are an active subscription user, stay on the OVchipkaart!
Because I waited and didn’t upload a new photo, now I need to pay to get my chipkaart replaced just so that I can use a subscription I am already charged for.
Needless to say, I feel misled by contradictory marketing from OV.
What’s even the point of OVpay if you can’t use subscriptions with it? One can already swipe their phone to travel without an app. Talk about a botched rollout.
Verbatim email text:
OVpay: het nieuwe in- en uitchecken
De OV-chipkaart stopt binnenkort. Daarom stappen we over naar OVpay. Met OVpaycheck je in en uit in het openbaar vervoer met de nieuwe OV-pas of je betaalpas of mobiel. En je regelt alles via je OVpayaccount (app of website).
Stap je over van de OV-chipkaart? Gebruik dan de Overstaphulp. Daarmee check je hoe je kunt overstappen met je abonnementen en reisproducten.
Meer weten of direct overstappen? Kijk op ovpay.nl/overstappen.
Wil je liever een nieuwe OV-chipkaart?
Dat kan natuurlijk ook!
