Auto reload is not available. |
1. For iPASS credit cards issued before April 30, 2017, the auto reload amount is in multiples of 200 NTD.
2. Some stores do not offer auto reload service for iPASS co-branded credit cards. Also, the auto reload might not be available for debit cards or ATM cards because the card readers in the stores are POS payment terminals.
3. For some contracted merchants, the auto reload limit is 200 NTD (refer to “Auto reload amount and rules”). We will update the card reader set up continuously and have the limit of auto reload raised to 500 NTD (the auto reload limit for iPASS credit cards issued before April 30, 2017 will remain 200 NTD after the updates on card reader setup).
