老外真没“刷”这个概念 ,一般都用use the credit card
不过真要说的话 一般口语用 swipe
"进门请刷卡”Please swipe your card before entering
请刷您的卡”Swipe your card please!
还有就是 slot card啦,也可以翻做刷卡 希望能帮助你

刷卡 = to use a credit card.
But I think you mean something else. You are referring to the "Travelcard" you use when you board buses in Chinese cities.
There are a variety of names for these in English. "Travelcard" is one of them, and is probably the best. You might here:
buscard
metrocard
citicard
etc....
In this case you say "swipe your card".

Sometimes you can find answers right upon the spots where the questions take place. In this case, only if you ever took a bus and paid attention to the signs in the bus.
