Last time I checked (a few weeks ago) the Compass cardholder services office was still issuing 2016 Evergreen commemorative cards. I wondre if this one will be the same?
(Frankly, if so, I see it as a good thing inasmuch as it speaks to the extent to which Compass has already been adopted. It’s hard to sell Compass cards if everyone already has one.)
Hi War on the Car! You’re right, the Compass Customer Service Walk in Centre does in fact still have a limited supply of Evergreen Compass Cards. These #Canada150 cards has been a hit so far, so if you’re planning on picking one up, make sure to grab it soon!
Hi Sarah, do you know how many of the evergreen cards were released?
Hello, the Buzzer says that the commemorative compass cards will be available on June 30 at selected vending machines. June 30, not 22. Meaning, I lost my chance because I was expecting to get one tomorrow!!…
Same thing with me, I saw the buzzer say they will be on sale starting today, so I was plannning to buy it today and now I’ve been told all the cvm tickets are sold out.
Ive got a 2017 limited edition 150th anniversary compass card with $16 or $17 still on it and still in great condition and wondering if anyone knows where i can sell it online im selling it for best offer made
I am extremely disappointed. How is it good customer relations when you publish a date in print, only to ignore it and release the cards a week early. How are we to trust anything you say in the future? This was handled very poorly.
Same here, I am incredibly disappointed. I read in the buzzer that the cards will be available as of June 30. So I marked the date in my calendar because I really wanted one. And now I can’t get one anymore, just because TransLink printed faulty information. Does no one proof read this buzzer?!?
Me too… I was really hoping for one, based on the paper buzzer date… I went all over town looking and no luck!

Do the right thing and print some more Canada 150 Compass Cards.
Please print more Canada 150 compass card so everyone who wants to save it for this important Canadian historical event can get one. I don’t mind even if it’s a 2nd or 3rd edition. Also, I don’t mind if I pay a little more to get the collectable compass card from TransLink (to help improve our transportation system) than buying it from some sellers from eBay or Craigslist (where encourage them to buy all the cards and sell them on auction site and not using it for public transportation).
Hi all: I understand your frustration with the cards selling out. We’ll certainly relay this to the Compass team. As you know, we try our best to keep the blog up to date and that’s what we did as the info about the cards changed. As per the print Buzzer, as of the time of printing the information that the cards would be available as of July 1st was accurate. Unfortunately, the Print Buzzer isn’t a digital medium, so there was no way to change that info.
Thanks to all of those who entered the contest for the cards and as mentioned, we’re passing your comments on to the Compass team.
What I don’t get: after you’ve released a date, why even change it? I don’t see there was a need to do so, unless of course you simply wanted to upset your customers. Disappointing, frustrating, bad customer service!
Print some more. I want one too buy craigslist sellers are selling it for 50 amd even 60 $.
I love the designs! I wish compass cards had more variety! In Korea you can buy like all different designs and it’s amazing!! I wish Vancouver had that :(((
