How does reloading a plastic Hop card work?

If you’re using a Hop card, you can reload using cash at hundreds of stores including Fred Meyer, Safeway and New Seasons stores, and at the Customer Support Center at Pioneer Courthouse Square.

Shop at Fred Meyer or QFC? You can reload your Hop card right in the checkout lane — no more separate trips to Customer Service.

• You can now reload with a credit card, in addition to cash or debit card.
• You can still reload Hop cards at Customer Service.
• The minimum load when you purchase a new card is $5. As before, there’s a one-time $3 fee for a new Hop card.
• New cards must still be purchased at Customer Service.
