Smartcards have been rigorously tested to last five years, if a smartcard stops working it may be because of three main reasons.

 

Either: 

  • The product has expired.
  • There is no product loaded to the Smartcard.
  • The Smartcard has been damaged. 


To investigate which it is, please take your Smartcard to a Customer Service Desk* at an Interchange in South Yorkshire. If there is no valid product on the card – simply purchase a new product. 


*Please be aware that Interchanges cannot provide free replacement smartcards. Smartcards cost £1 and can be bought online and will arrive within 3-10 working days. You can also buy smartcards on-board most buses or from ticket machines in Interchanges alongside a ticket purchase. 


If you believe that there should be a valid product on the card, please raise a support ticket at enquiries@sytravelmaster.com and one of our technical support team will help investigate further.


To help us with your enquiry please include:

  • Times/dates 
  • Any transaction references 
  • Your Smartcard number 
  • The product you are trying to load
