Not Doomsday-Related, We Promise!

We know you may be CTA-ed out, but we wanted to remind you about the expiration dates on Chicago cards so you aren't caught with your pants down. Why? Because the Summer of No Pants is over!

Nearly 10,000 cards that some of you have held in your hot little hands for four years are set to expire October 17. The upside is that existing balances can be transferred to new cards, issued free of charge. The downside is that you will lose your balance if you procrastinate, which we are often wont to do.

So if you've had your card for a while, check the dates online or in person. Contact the CTA by phone or in person, and let them know your old card is old hat, and request a balance transfer if you don't want to lose any more money to the agency. Unless you do. In which case, disregard.
