MK78 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 I just got a renewed credit card in the mail, trying to figure where the hell to enter the new expiry date on presto site for my 12 month TTC pass subscription... Called Presto they said i have to wait until the 21st when the TTC monthly passes are available... But i'm not buying a pass, I just want to update the billing and dont want to screw up the 12 month cycle and be charged some kind of penalty. What a bloody convoluted system... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same place you'd do it for Autoloads. And it changes all the cards in your account. It's an account setting not a card setting. So if you log into your account. And then go to Manage (on the top bar) and then Saved Payment Method Settings under Quick Links on the left-hand side. Chen Click on Change in Current Payment Method ... it should take you into a dialogue to enter all your card information (your name, card number, expiration date, security code). I've done it a couple of times now with no issues. And of course, you can do it anytime ... today is March 10, so it should be ready by the time the April one gets charge in about 10 days or so ...

MK78 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 But I don't have autoloads set set up... does that matter? If I set one up just for kicks, will it not mess up my ttc 12 month automatic reloads? And I don't have a saved payment method configured. it seems.

If I set one up just for kicks, will it not mess up my ttc 12 month automatic reloads? And I don't have a saved payment method configured. it seems. My card has both autoloads (for GO Transit) and the TTC 12-month pass. No issues. But hang on ... now I'm wondering. Yours is blank? It's possible there's 2 places for card settings. One under the Autoload and the other under the 12-month pass setttings, that you can only adjust after the 21st of the month. Gosh, have they really been that daft? Hmm ... I haven't changed my card since I got the 12-month pass. If all has changed is your expiry date, normally the bank will let such charges pass through okay for a month or two. I'd wait until later in the month and check those settings. I don't seem to be able to get too deep in them right now - but it's only the tenth of the month.

MK78 Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Yeah, i don't have the autoload enabled for the regular card balance... I have like $20 on it and i don't usually take GO transit or other GTA transit agencies, so i figured it was redundant... I'll wait until the 21st and see if some other option appears. A friend of mine had their autoload fail after not updating the expiry, after he was let to believe that the information was automatically updated now.

MK78 Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Has anyone heard anything about the TTC 12 month pass, if they may allow us to cancel it or suspend it? My credit card is expired so I may have lucked out, so it may not renew for next month hopefully... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK78 Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Yeah, I cancelled it yesterday. I got the email that they will call to collect the owing amount, but I'm sure they didn't modify that in time. I was nearing the end of my term but still not gonna need it anyway. Since my work is shut down, I won't need to use the TTC, since we do have a car in our household to get groceries. Who knows when things will return to normal enough to need a 12 month discount plan. I'll just use the regular auto load. Term Length: 12 Month(s) Current Term Position: 10 Month(s) Start Date: 2019/06/01 End Date: 2020/03/31 Accumulated Discount: $ 126.40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in Italy, at the heart of the pandemic, they've got grocery stores open. Closing them sounds like a recipe for disaster - the indications are that at best we'll be stuck in the eye of the storm for at least a few months, what is everyone who doesn't grow their own food to do?

No ... but they did limit how far you could travel to one, and how often you could go. But they wouldn't close grocery stores. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK78 Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Has anyone topped off their Presto card within the Presto app, with the Apple Pay option? Yesterday I took the TTC for the first time since late March, and I had cancelled my monthly passes then, and had maybe $12 or so on the card. I loaded $20 via Apple Pay, and it said it tap on a presto device to complete the load process. I took a bus maybe an hour later, and the tap did register on presto site, but both the app and the site say the $20 load is still pending.

If it didn't, then it can take up to 24-hours to get to the machine you used to tap at ... and buses rarely take only an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It said something about that, but I didn't think that it was available on the iPhone, only Android... I still had money on it so I was able to board, but that didn't trigger the loading of the funds, after adding $20 via Apple Pay about an hour before. Anyway, I went again this morning and it finally loaded the funds. I just set up auto pay now from credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember in London using their Oyster card being warned about "Card Clash" when the reader would try and deduct fares from whatever card(s) were within range. Then again, you could pay with a credit card at that point. Once PRESTO evolves to more open payment, then it will become more of an issue. Might as well start training the public now I guess! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lazy once, and it detected the forgotten extra senior's Presto Card in the middle of my wallet, rather than the regular one with a pass at the front of the wallet. Also, they've already done some Debit/Credit tests ... who knows when it will be testing something, and there's some clash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtrazsteve Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 It's safer to just put all your bank cards and unused presto cards in foil card holders. Just leave the regularly used presto out. Then you'll be safe to tap your wallet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTAmissions1 Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 Presto E-Tickets mobile app has been made available with Durham Region Transit along with Hamilton Street Railway for those who don't have a Presto card or travelling in a group and prefer getting the ticket discount versus paying cash. Especially with the COVID-19 pandemic, transit agencies are looking for contactless ways to accommodate fare payments. https://blog.metrolinx.com/2020/09/01/a-new-cashless-way-to-pay-presto-introduces-presto-e-tickets-for-durham-and-hamilton/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK78 Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Well this is bizarre. I've used the TTC sparingly in the past couple months due to corona, maybe 4-5 times, and I set up an autoload to load $20 when balance drops below $10. Last ride taken August 24th, balance after $3.20 fare paid was $19.58. Yesterday (September 8th), I took a ride in the morning, and a fare load appears on my account of $55.32 (bizarre amount, can you even load fare with dollar & cent amounts?), and the $3.20 fare was paid. I checked my credit card (which is the payment method for autoload), and no charge or pending charge listed from Presto. The auto-load was also successfully used once before to load $20 when balance dropped below $10, with the payment properly charged to my card. Has anyone had this happen?

Did you have a pass in March or April? It's probably the refund. They started trickling out a couple of weeks ago. http://www.ttc.ca/News/2020/August/21_08_20NR_presto_credit.jsp 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
