If a card becomes unreadable a replacement will be required. Please note there is normally a limit of one replacement card per term.

How do I renew my card each term?

There's no need to re-apply each term. We'll send out a payment request letter in advance and, as soon as we've received your payment, we'll send out your replacement card for the next term. If you don't want the card for the following term, simply return the reply slip on the payment request letter to let us know.

Or why not pay annually and enjoy a discount?
