Mate of mine who did a lot of commute has it set up to auto-top up for $100.

took my expiring card to one of the ticket booths outside Central & they seemed to just reset the expiry date. i haven’t changed mine, ever — unless if i’m missing something / not paying attention to these scan terminals?

If you don’t have a concession I don’t see the point of having any card now.
Edit: I’m not sure why I’m being downvoted so hard now. Costs are 50c per trip, fixed and flat rate. You can use any card so no worrying about losing your go card or it expiring.
I’m not saying it’s bad, you do you, but basically anyone other than kids has a debit card now.

Don’t forget to get refunds if you don’t use gocards anymore and you have balance on them!
They’d be sitting on $Millions in credit.

Scared me for a second.
Thought they’re ending the 50 cent fares.
I hope the QLD LNP never remove it. If they do, I hope the pushback is substantial.

If the card can just hang on till your 67 then mostly free transport.

How long is the expiration?, because I worked a bar in Townsville one time and lived there for two years, when I first started out I found a bus card, eventually came here and used it, was still in dated I guess, because I only needed to top it up.
