My “travel card” is my physical credit card that has fair fares associated with it. However the “personal card” that is my plastic card is inactive, and my Apple Pay associated with the travel card is active.

Will I get the fair fare discount from Apple Pay?

Hey folks -

I just posted my first rules for this sub. First, no spam. Second, this is NOT a marketplace. The sub seems to have been overrun with people wanting to sell their OMNY cards, and this is a good way for folks to get scammed. I probably removed three of these TODAY.

Second, I'm the only mod here, and that's not a great thing either. I'd like to recruit some more! Feel free to reply to this post with what you think your qualifications would be, and we can go from there!

I’m gonna visit my school on Tuesday to see if I can get a replacement but,

has anybody else’s card got audited?

AKA their card said “CARD NOT ACCEPTED” today…

Fare enforcement, the Eagle Team, is now at W 72 St/Broadway for the M5, M57, and M72. Be on the lookout.

I tap with my credit card. everytime I use the subway
I’m still charged the full fare my account shows that it’s active with fair fare and it shows the card associated with it. I’ve already called 311 and was connected to HR(?) and the lady I spoke to that she fixed it but when I took the subway this morning I was still charged full fare. What am I doing wrong? Help

Both my credit and debit cards are now rejected again at the turnstiles, and typically only last a few days between reactivation and termination again. I think it might be an issue with a specific turnstile, but I'm tired of payments constantly dropping leading to card rejections.

The omny website is super glitchy too, making it very hard to pay outstanding balances and get the cards back in action.

Leaving the city soon have omny card with 300 -pm meet at station near midtown

hopefully this is the right sub to ask this!

some prior context to today: i had a student omny card that was working fine until all of a sudden on the first of this month it stopped working. so every time i've had to take public transit i've been using tap to pay on my phone with my debit card and that was working fine.

fast foward to today. i get to the subway and go to tap my phone, and i get "card not accepted", even though i literally just used it last week to tap and it worked fine. i tried different turnstiles as well. i have more than the $3 in my account so i knew it wasn't a balance issue. i took out my physical debit card and tapped, and it worked.

i went back to the subway (different station) to head home and tried my phone again, nothing. i pulled out my card thinking it would work, nope, "card not accepted" again even though on my way to my destination it literally worked. tried different turnstiles, still nothing.

has anyone had this happen before and know how to fix it? i have no idea what to do, i can't use another card as this is the only card i have. i'm going to go to my bank tomorrow to check if tap works there, and if it does then it's completely an mta issue

So im currently a incoming junior and my guidence counslor and I are planning to register me for dual enollment courses at York College. The thing is i cant walk all the way there its like an hour and half. My parents cant buy me a bike or a scooter thats good enough or even usable to go that fast there. They cant drive me there since work schedules. Im not eligable for an student OMNY card since i live lesser then 0.5 of a mile to my high school. Is there any way to appeal this to like the DOE or maybe someone that runs the MTA? Ive asked the coordinator at York and they dont provide students with OMNY cards or any transportation assistance. (im really really interested and wanna take courses at that college)

Trying to refill my OMNY card and pay with Apple Pay, and it keeps failing. Never had this problem before with OMNY. Apple Pay is working on other websites. I've always used Apple Pay to pay when refilling my OMNY card on the OMNY website. Just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this.

OMNY/MTA is a never ending source of frustration.

Title explains it pretty well, I completed an internship and they compensated my trips for 4 months and as a result I have 180$ loaded on a brand new omny card. The thing is I bike to most places and need to pay off some things so I’d like the cash instead.

Right now I think my only options are to

A: Try and sell it online, but what would be the buyers incentive other than a kind heart?

B: Suck it up and enjoy the lovely public transit

What other options are there to convert the card? Thank you very much.

How do I transfer balance from a lost card to a new OMNY card?
I lost my card the other day after I added funds. So i deactivated it and bought a new card. Shouldn’t I be able to transfer the balance to the new card? It’s being very difficult. I’m probably missing something. Confused. Any advice is welcomed!

I've noticed for the last few days people who pay with credit cards or their phone are getting a green screen but people who try and use omny card are getting the red screen. Neq problem with the cubixs? Edit: this is regular buses i rake daily Also it's not every Omni card but maybe two out of three are getting the red screen.

Wondering why I occasionally get charged $2. It's not pending, it's processed. Often it's my 10th tap. I'm using my cc via Samsung pay, not an omny card
