More top-up options required

[Derwan]

The Go Card has several top-up options currently available, but to increase flexibility and meet what most would consider standard options in today's society, more options are required:

1.  Automatic top-up
Why must we log into the website or use a machine each time our card's balance gets low?  Why not have the option of automatic top-ups from the nominated credit card once the balance falls below a certain threshold?  This has been a standard option for eToll for many years and runs as part of an overnight process.  It means we never have to think about whether a top-up is required.

2.  BPay
BPay would offer greater flexibility.  People without credit cards could top-up their Go Card without having to visit a machine.  It would also be possible to manage top-ups as part of your online banking activities without the need to log into the Go Card site.  Regular payments can also be set up to ensure there will be sufficient credit on the card without having to remember to top it up.

Hopefully these options will be considered in Go Card's future.

Just noticed a section at the bottom of the Summary screen.  I'm sure it wasn't there before:



However I cannot find where to set it up.  Perhaps this feature is being introduced soon!  The $0 threshold is a bit of a worry considering it takes up to 48 hours for the amount to be added to the card.  The threshold should be more like $10.  Perhaps this will be selectable as well.

I had a look too.

Seems not yet available, I guess when it is you will have the option to set the trigger amount.

(makes another note to ask TL about it)
