ezLink Giro auto top up comes with a fee

Like it or not. After end of Sep, the Giro auto top up facility of ezLink no longer comes free. It has already cause some discontent, when people trying to take away free facility to become charging service.

1. The application would take 21 days, instead of almost instant application previously
2. It only works with DBS and POSB
3. The most important part is there is a convenience fee of 0.25 per top up, like the credit card

Of course, people can come up with reason to justify the fee. But, as a consumer, that is no good. Again, like it or not, it is a fact now and we have to do away with the auto top up.
