Transportation cards in China, topping it up and getting a refund can be done only inside the city you have bought.
Beijing is one of the biggest cities in China, so they have one of most generous terms for transportation cards in China. It is to easy traffic problems in the city.
Basic cards are sold at 20 Yuan, which is as refundable deposit. You can get the card price back when you return the card. Beijing Pass is not a basic card, gso the card price is not refundable.
Some other Chinese cities, the deposit money disappear little by little as time passes.
I have six transportation cards from China in drawers in my room. Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, Qingdao, Jinan, Nanjing, Shanghai cards.
If you keep the Beijing transportation card for later, you can use remaining balance for future trips in China. You cannot add money to it outside Beijing.
