      I would like clipper card to explain why they have a refund policy for unused balances that essentially takes your money. The issue at play is the fares for transportation are clearly labeled and customers are prevented from buying fare on the digital clipper card in exact amounts. Preventing customers from purchasing exact amount fares leaves us with balances intentionally that we can never get refunded. Seems there is a violation of state or federal law here. For those of us from out of state that might only be using the service for a duration of a stay, we end up paying more for the fare due to loss of balance.

      Clipper card deducted $100 on Thursday September 26 from my Beniversal card that I use for public transportation for work. It is now 6 days later and the money has not been credited to my Clipper Card.

      I never ordered a CLIPPER Card or ever opened an account with **********************. Without permission they accessed my account and remove money from it. $3.00 twice. All occured last month of September. I reported to my bank and cancelled the card . I still haven't seen the money returned or an explanation to who CLIPPER is.

      Dear Better Business Bureau,I am writing to file a complaint regarding my unresolved issue with Clipper Cards customer service. Two weeks ago, I reported my Clipper Card as lost through their online system. The card had a balance of $45.60 and a pending charge of $20. I agreed to pay the $3.00 fee to transfer the funds to a new card, but the Clipper Card app failed to complete this transfer.Since encountering this issue, I have called Clipper Cards customer service hotline at ************** three times, all during business hours. Despite long wait times, no one answered my calls on any of these occasions. In addition to the phone calls, I sent four emails seeking assistance, but the replies I received simply told me to call the same unresponsive phone number, without offering any meaningful help.I am incredibly frustrated that after two weeks and multiple attempts to contact Clipper Card, I still cannot access my funds. This is a simple issue that should have been resolved quickly, but I have been left without support.I am requesting that Clipper Card immediately complete the balance transfer from my lost card to my new card and address the lack of responsiveness in their customer service.Thank you for your attention, and I hope for a swift resolution.Sincerely,

      I am writing to bring to your attention an issue Ive encountered with my account, which contains multiple cards. Specifically, on July 26, 2023, I reloaded $240 onto card number **********, and on February 13, 2024, February 27, 2024, and March 5, 2024, I reloaded $225 each onto card numbers **********, **********, and **********, respectively.While all payments were processed and charged to my billing, it appears that the reloads for card numbers ********** (missing $240) and ********** (missing $225) did not take effect. This discrepancy leads me to believe there may be a system bug affecting the activation and reload process for accounts with multiple cards.I have attempted to resolve this issue through both email and phone support, but unfortunately, I have not received any helpful information thus far. I would greatly appreciate it if you could look into this matter and provide assistance in resolving the issue.

      Hi Clipper Start customer support,I submitted a ********************** Start application on 05/20/2024, application # ******-212450, it approved on 05/21/2024 and the message stated I will receive the card in mail in 2-3 weeks. However, I never received the card. I emailed the customer service on 06/30/2024 regarding the issue, they responded to me saying that I have to call in. I called in and left a voicemail, nobody call me back even though the voicemail message says the call will be returned in one business day.Due to the issue never can be resolved, I submitted another application on 07/06/2024, application #******-224635, it declined on 07/10/2024. Decline reason: due to an issue(s) and asked me to contact customer service for details. I left voicemail and nobody return my call again.I emailed Clipperstart on 07/15/2024 and havent heard back from any of you.I am 60 years old and need to commute 5 days a week. The Clipper Start card is very helpful for me. Could you please advise me how can I get the problem resolved or if you can escalate the issue for me to get the problem resolved as soon as possible?Sincerely,Yuqiong

      I have been trying to get in contact with the customer service for the ********************** START program for over two weeks. When you call, you are instructed to leave a voicemail and promised a response within one business day. I have left four voicemails so far and have received absolutely no response. I also sent e-mails to the address listed for customer support and using their webpages comment/complaint submission form. Absolute dead silence. There seems to be no way to get in contact with a human being directly; we are entirely reliant on the good graces of whoever is on the other end of that voicemail calling back (if indeed there even is anyone at this point!).All I need is to report my card missing and request a replacement, which would be a 90-second call. This company serves the public and has a responsibility to be responsive to our needs, which it is completely failing to do.The amount I listed in the how much money you paid the business field is the remaining balance on my Clipper START card, which I am now unable to use. Anyone who found my card on the street would be able to use that fare value, because the card remains unlocked until customer service addresses it.

      You guys charged me for the card. I've called you guys many times and you guys would either "conveniently" disconnect within minutes or when I do talk to someone they don't do anything. This has been going on for months now. Just give me my money back.

      I have issues on refunding the value of my 2 clipper cards.The first one is **********. I loaded two transactions, $150 each, in total $300 last year, and I was not able to pick up the value before they expired. I contacted clipper, and they refunded $150 to me in check. However, for the other $150, I contacted multiple times, every time I had to explain all over again, and every time the agent told me they would contact me later, but no one ever reached out to me.The second one is **********. I loaded one transactions $150 last year, and one transaction $150 this year. I was able to picked up the $150 value loaded this year, but not the one loaded last year. Same issue as the other card when I contacted clipper customer service. The issue was never resolved.In short,- There was a last-year reload $150 from ********** not refunded to me.- There was a last-year reload $150 from ********** not refunded to me.Please help to resolve the issue. Thank you.
