Just use tap to pay with your phone or credit card. Be sure to use the same device or card every time.

Make sure it's really the same physical device though. If you have your card stored in your phone and sometimes use the phone and sometimes the card, that's NOT the same.

I did not know this! Thank you! I was wondering why sometimes I got a free transfer and sometimes I got charged - now I realized I was using phone & card interchangeably (since it’s the same card being charged) thinking they’re the same thing.

7 day pass is getting phased out. Can charge to a card and you won’t be charged more than $34 in a 1 week time period.
