possible to check suica balance online?
Not that it is a matter of life and death, but when I was in Tokyo last time I was going to return my suica at NRT, but things got out of hand that morning. Long story short, I took a taxi from Ikejiri to NRT and forgot the whole thing..

They also got readers compatible with Playstation and some of them are also build into laptops, pretty cool. I think you can use them for buyng stuff online and refill your suica/passmo?

I've heard that those laptops with bulit-in Felica reader automatically launch a pre-installed utility program when you touch your Suica/Pasmo/Edy etc onto their palm rests.
Refilling Service by JR EAST has just started, but it is for View Card holders only.

The problem with using Suica to buy stuff is that I thought there was a limit of Y20,000 that could be stored on it -- so if you use it regularly for purchases, you might be refilling it all the time.

Sorry to gravedig but this is one of the first posts that comes up in Google when searching for how to check your Pasmo balance online, so I thought I'd post a solution for anyone else who comes across this post first.
If your phone supports the NFC function then you can install an app which allows you to check your balance by pressing your card against the back of your phone. There are a variety of apps available, some in English and most in Japanese, and most are free. I installed one called Suica Reader. After installing I just pressed my card against the back of my phone and it displayed my current balance and history of use. The details in the history are all in Japanese but the current balance and the user interface are all in English. Despite the name the app works for both Pasmo and Suica cards which both apparently use the same system.

jlick1K has posted on the thread which is 8 years old. I do not know what was like 8 years ago, but situation today is this.
You can verify the balance of SUICA at JR ticket machine at JR station which accepts SUICA.
Also can verify the balance at convenience stores which accept SUICA, cashier can verify the balance, or if you purchase something the receipt will have the balance printed.
As you use SUICA to ride JR trains, as passing by the gate at a station small display on the gate will show the balance.

Also I remember that somewhere in FlyerTalk rule not to respond to the thread more than five years of inactivity, since the information on the thread is likely not current anymore. Encourage to start the new thread. I was talking more about that.
