The above is just to show what the card looks like.

It is presently available at 34th St-Penn Station on the 1,2,3 in the machines on the LIRR level (not the ones on the 1 train level). Try the machines to the right of the booth (when facing the rear of the booth)

They must have just added it there because there weren't any earlier in the week.

I think I might have seen someone get this at 110th/Lenox yesterday, but I wasn't sure if the transaction was a refill or a new card.

Looks like I have an ideal replacement for my expiring MetroCards.

I got it there three weeks ago at the MEM near the booth.

Keep one thing in mind (and I found this out recently) - a MVM will only allow for 2 replacement cards within a short period of time (not specified). If you were to put in a 3rd expiring card right after doing the 2nd one, the MVM will make that card invalid and not give you a new one.

You should have said something back then - "Inquiring" MC Collectors minds want to know.

What?

I've at times traded in between 50 and 80 cards at a time at one machine, and they've all returned valid cards.

That said, I only have a few with 7/31/15 or earlier as their expiration date.

Well, after I did 2 at a MVM at 34th-Penn, the next 4 cards (which were still valid) came back as either invalid MetroCard or Not eligible for refill.

Maybe the MTA is starting to catch on.

I would suggest trying a "Get Card Info" on those cards. It might be an issue with the machine.

It is also at 34th Street-Herald Square in most if not all of the machines near the booth near the stairs by Macy's and Herald Center (N506) on the west side of 34th & 6th/Broadway (including MVM 1428, MEM 5529, MEM 5608, and MVM 5520). I found mostly "If you see something, say something cards at 34th & 7th (east side) and 33rd & 7th (upper level, east side), while the lines at the lower level at 33rd & 7th were too long this morning. I'm still searching for the NYU Lutheran card, which was reported to be at 34th & 7th station.

MVMs 0552 and 5015 have the 1WTC cards. Don't know about the others because those were the only ones I checked.

The NYU Lutheran MetroCard was also available this evening in Brooklyn at the 59th Street station on the Fourth Avenue line in MVM 0736 (C021 0400) and MVM 0630 (C021 0701). It may also be at other stations in the area, which is near the hospital.
