Snapper top-up fees: kiosk vs on your phone (lemmy.nz)

Now that Snapper cards have the 1.5% processing fee on phone top-ups, I did a little math to figure out the cut-off for topping up at a kiosk instead.

Kiosks have a flat 25¢ fee to top up if you use a debit card.

If you are topping up $15 or less, you should top up on your phone (the fee is 23¢ or less). Anything higher than that, you should top up at a kiosk.

The best strategy is to top up as much as you can at a kiosk in one go.

Thanks for this!

I try to avoid giving our shitty bus company money but it's based to avoid.

It's 'good' to know the inept middle man is screwing us where they can
