MTA New York City Transit provides a Balance Protection Program for its 7-Day Express Bus Plus and 30-Day Unlimited Ride MetroCard that protects you from loss or theft of the card as long as you purchased or refilled it with a credit or debit/ATM card from a MetroCard Vending Machine.
Complete the eFix claim form below and a Balance Protection representative will contact you to complete the claim. Please note that you will not receive a replacement MetroCard; your refund will be in the form of a credit issued back to your credit or debit/ATM account. The amount of your refund for newly purchased MetroCards will be calculated at a rate of $8.18 per day for 7-Day Express Bus Plus MetroCards and $3.89 per day for 30-Day Unlimited MetroCards effective March 22, 2015. Your refund will be based on the date that you first notify us of your loss. The $1 "new card fee" is not refundable.
If you prefer, you may call 511 (say MTA, Subways and Buses, then MetroCard) to report the loss/stolen card and supply us with the number of the credit or debit/ATM card that you used to purchase or refill your MetroCard. Calls received after normal business hours will be returned by a Balance Protection representative.
You may file up to two claims per calendar year. The first claim will be processed free of charge; a second claim filed within the same calendar year, will be subject to a $5.00 administrative fee, the fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
You may initiate your claim if the following three conditions are true.
