Same here. My EZPass is connected to my credit card, just automatically maintains whatever need to be maintained. There is no running out or refilling.
I thought all toll passes were setup like this.
You're dead wrong about not running out. I can assure you it's possible and has happened. The computer systems of ezpass update in the overnight hours so if you're traveling through tolls and your low balance triggers a replenishment from your CC it's not posted until overnight. The low balance can be below zero quickly and you're going to get penalized.
It may be possible, but I've been using I-Pass since 1997 and have yet to be charged for going below zero. I have 3 transponders and when towing, the transponder in the toad is wrapped in aluminum foil so it doesn't register. I know I exceed the $40 balance when towing from Il thru IN, OH and NY every year and have yet to be penalized. Last year I had a $56.30 toll in PA June 30th (and a negative $42.14 balance) and I-pass replenished my account on 7/2 with no penalty.
