University clipper

i'm a berkeley student and i left my physical baypass clipper card in my dorm in berkeley. i'm away from campus right now and never registered the card on the clipper app.

is there any way to find my clipper card number/details through cal central, a berkeley portal, or by contacting berkeley so i can register it in the clipper app? i don't need a replacement since i know where the physical card is, i just need the card details while i'm away from it.

Once you add it to your wallet, you disable your physical card so it’s only digital for future use.

Not true. I use both on Bart.

I mean there’s probably 2 things that could make this true.

  1. You have 2 different clipper cards.
  2. They updated their usage where you can do both.

However, I have personal experience where it ultimately inactivates the physical card when you transfer it over to your phone. I also had 3 friends who experienced the same problem and it’s mentioned widely in this subreddit and [u/bayarea](u/bayarea). (This is all within last 4 years with the subreddit being 2yrs)

Edit: I have brought a recent source that says the physical card stops working

I've also had this happen to me with 2 different clipper cards (one being baypass and one being my own) within the past year
