How do I download my Keuzedagen?
Before you can use your Keuzedag, you must download it to your OV-chipkaart at an NS Ticket Machine.
Downloading Keuzedagen
- Bring your OV-chipkaart to the NS Ticket Machine at the station.
- Hold your OV-chipkaart against the card reader to the bottom right of the screen.
- Select ‘download Keuzedag’.
- Select ‘agree’.
- Hold your OV-chipkaart against the card reader again, until you see the confirmation that the product has been downloaded to your card.
Please note: the next journey you make will be considered as a Keuzedag. Due to the extended use-by date for Keuzedagen, there may be more than one Keuzedag available at the NS Ticket Machine. When downloading a Keuzedag, remember to select the Keuzedag with the nearest use-by date. Remember to check in and out as normal when you travel.
Check whether your Keuzedag has been downloaded.
If you would like to make sure your Keuzedag has actually been downloaded to your OV-chipkaart, simply hold your card against the gate or post and you will see if you are travelling with a Keuzedag or on balance. If your Keuzedag was not downloaded and you are travelling on balance, you can cancel your check-in by holding your OV-chipkaart against the gate or post again. Then you can download your Keuzedag to your card.
