What happens with Revenue Protection come on board?
Revenue protection, from time-to-time hop on board to ensure passengers have the correct tickets. When paying with tap on tap off, revenue protection officers will see the last four digits of cards recently used; you will then just need to present the debit/credit card you used.
Do I have to use the same card/device?
Yes, your payment history is linked to your card or device so make sure you use the same one each time you travel. If you have your payment method set up on your mobile through Apple Pay or Google Pay, make sure you stick to one method - if you switch to your card, it will be treated as a new payment method, and you might not benefit from the price caps.
Why was my card declined?
If you've made a purchase on board that was subsequently declined by your bank unfortunately your card will be automatically blocked by our system. Once any outstanding amounts are settled by your bank, your card will be automatically unblocked - until this happens, you'll need to pay with an alternative method.
