Important Notes:

*If you have redeemed your Benefit Code in the app, you can switch one time to a card.

Visit the Bellingham Station CSR booth for assistance.


*If you have redeemed your Benefit Code via card and want to move to the Umo app, you can do this one time.

While creating your account in the app, select the option "Convert to App Account".

This is your only chance to move the redeemed code from card to app.

If you create the app account without converting, you cannot add an already redeemed Benefit Code later.
