OMNY- NYC Subway - “ride limit exceeded” with Apple Pay?

Did this happen when you used a new payment method?

Note: If you are using a new payment method, you will not be able to make multiple taps when you use that payment method for the first time.

The error message that was generated was not from Apple or Goldman Sachs. It was generated by the transit company. Please contact their support team and inquire about the error message and any system changes you’re unaware of. Please let us know what you find out, if possible. If necessary we can go further in depth on the matter.

This is the same for my wife and I. We are both using apply pay, with the Apple Card as default card and express transit turned on. Note that this is not a shared Apple Card, my wife and I each signed up for our own.

We used to be able to swipe for our kids. I would swipe each kid multiple times, then swipe for ourselves. Sometimes I’d do my wife as well if she doesn’t have her phone out. Worked totally fine.

Over the past month or so, this stopped working. No change in phones, no change in card, before and after software updates. MTA just says it should work, no help there. Any other card without apply pay works as MTA says it should. But not apply pay with Apple Card, at least anymore (for the last month).

You’re welcome and Happy Holidays!

The last thing I can think of is updating your iPhone and trying the transit again.

All credit cards do which helps reduce the incidence of cardholders being accidentally charged twice. It also tries to prevent fraudsters from completing dozens of online transactions all at once.

You’re welcome to contact an Apple Card Specialist at Goldman Sachs. See what they say and you may be directed to Apple Support if GS feels it’s a hardware issue for engineering,

Have you contacted the transit companies support team and if so, what did they say?

Apple Card has not been renamed. Apple Card is a credit card issued by Goldman Sachs Bank and it operates on the Mastercard Payment Network? What card are you referring to?

Same, it worked many times, me tapping my phone applying toward my $34/wk, and getting my partner in, full price. Then it changed and never allows for additional purchases. It’s annoying.

Are you swiping the card or using Apple Pay?
