Serious question: why are you assuming cards EOL with balance on them more frequently now than when they had rounded amounts?

Serious question: why are you assuming cards EOL with balance on them more frequently now than when they had rounded amounts?
- tehwebguy 12y agoI would assume that people are more likely to throw away a card that is nearing the end of it's usable life if it had a zero balance. But if a balance remains it seems like one would be more likely to add more money to the card.
- cauterized 12y agoYou can also transfer your balance to a new card.
- lorddoig 12y agoI don't. But if you have one of these cards and only top up using the default options as the original post describes (and I imagine most people do), it's effectively impossible for one of these cards to reach a zero balance. It will always EOL with a positive balance. Not so with Oyster, mine hits zero or very close quite often. Difference there is you buy an Oyster card up front.
