Would NOT recommend
Would not recommend. The system routinely blocks your clipper card rendering it unusable until you call customer support to fix the problem. In the meantime, you need a backup clipper card handy to travel.
Blocks usually take 5 days to fix if it can be fixed. And a fix by customer support cannot be verified until you tag your card at a reader and see if the fix ‘took’. But you are warned that readers on Muni buses and LRVs sometimes do not correct the problem as they are not real time with the clipper system and your card may remain blocked. My card has been now blocked for three weeks and the only explanation I am given is that some Muni bus readers are really old and then simply ‘brick’ your clipper card when they are tagged and at that point there is nothing customer support can do except tell you to buy a new clipper card and load it to my phone and then they will be happy to transfer over the funds on my blocked card to the new card I have added. No way am I going to load another clipper card on my phone, I am going back to having the plastic clipper card which never gave me any problems nor required me to call Clipper customer service weekly.
