Do metro cards expire?

In NY, do the train metro cards ever expire?

From the MTA NYC Transit website:

"Whether Pay-Per-Ride or Unlimited Ride, every MetroCard has an expiration date. The date is located at the upper left corner on the back of the card. The expiration date is usually about one year from the date of purchase.

If your Pay-Per-Ride MetroCard expires, you have two years from the expiration date to transfer any remaining money to a new card. Bring your expired card to any subway station and ask the agent to make the transfer."

I hope this information is very helpful. Good luck

Yes, date on the back - I think it's a year.

Yes, there is an expiration date on the back of the card.

Yes, for Pay-Per-Ride MetroCard, it expire on date/time mention on rear of card. Pay-Per-Ride MetroCard mostly expires around 2009.
This does not apply for Unlimited MetroCard even thought card reads: EXPIRE in .....2009.

They do. But for up to two years after the expiration date, you can have a station agent transfer money from your dead card onto a new card.

Yes, MetroCards do expire within a year.

Yeah, 7 days after first use. Then you can just top it up once it's been used.
