CenSin Posted October 1, 2019 Share #1 Posted October 1, 2019 If I report a lost/stolen MetroCard how quickly is it deactivated? My card is one of those unlimited cards gotten through Wageworks TransitChek. I lost it on the very first day due to it slipping out of my pocket. I backtraced my steps to home and did not see a trace of it, so I reported it to Wageworks just an hour and a half from the incident. Suppose someone picked it up and thought it was his lucky day, how quickly would it stop working to disappoint him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the card is deactivated immediately and the turnstiles/fareboxes sync within 1 to 2 days. More importantly your replacement is ready the next day if you can go to the wageworks office to pick it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unfortunate that the deactivation isn't immediate. 😐 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted October 23, 2019 Share #4 Posted October 23, 2019 If you lose easy pay express MetroCard can you pick one up somewhere next day? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called HR, registered myself for a WeWorks account, sent in a replacement order, and went up to Bryant Park to pick it up immediately—all within 3 hours of losing it. Technically, I could have done it all within an hour had I not taken the time to contact HR. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
