Can I top up my Swype card?

Short answer: no. Here's why your card works this way, and what to do once your balance runs out.

Nothing

Short answer: no. Swype cards are non-reloadable. Once your balance is used up, that card is done — you can't add more funds to it.

①

What "non-reloadable" actually means

Your card comes loaded with a set balance. You can spend it however you like until it runs out, but once it's at zero, there's no top-up button, no "add funds" option, and no way to reuse that same card number for new spending.

●

You can spend your full balance across as many transactions as you want

●

Once it hits zero, that specific card is finished

●

There's no way to deposit, transfer, or reload money onto that same card

②

What to do once your balance runs out

If you need more funds, a new card needs to be issued — it's a fresh card, not a refill of the old one. Depending on how you received your card, that might mean going back through the same place that issued it to you the first time.

Good to know: this isn't a bug or a restriction placed on your account specifically — every Swype card works this way by design.
