This extension fee is waived for holders ng concessionary cards like senior citizens and persons with disabilities.
According to beep, any remaining balance on an expired card can be transferred to a new card anytime within 12 months after the expiry date.

Take note that a transfer fee of P150 will be charged. After the 12-month grace period, any remaining balance on the expired card will be forfeited.
In case you prefer to get a new card, you may purchase a new one in train stations for P30 or for P50 outside train stations.
