camerata Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I found this out yesterday when my refillable card was rejected at the turnstile. Anyway, you just take it to the office and they extend it another 5 years for you. No charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKAsok Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I wondered about this, since, unlike the BTS Smartpass, there's no mention of expiration on the card. That's good they just extend it without charge. Any ideas what happens with the BTS card after 5 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I remember they changed my original BTS card to a different type a couple of years ago so I doubt I'm anywhere near 5 years on the new one.

AyG Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 BTS card - it expires. You lose any stored value on it and have to buy a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickeyM Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 BTS: Card expires after 5 years (but can be replaced); stored value expires 2 years after last top-up or last use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimjim Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 MRT has been around for 5 years already? For me, I had a refillable card for a year and when I went to refill it once he gave me a new one for no reason, perhaps mine looked worn. He just smiled like a little child and said, "I give you new one!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camerata Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 You'll see some small "MRT 5th Anniversary" stickers in some stations. Yes, 5 years already. Seems like only yesterday my Thai civil engineer friend was telling me it would never work properly and would probably flood in the rainy season.
