do the "OMNI" scanners work with RFID'ed debit/credit cards, or only with OMNI's own system? Thanks _____________________________________________________ Knowledge may be power, but communications is the key dannyb@panix.com [to foil spammers, my address has been double rot-13 encoded]

According to danny burstein <dannyb@panix.com>: >do the "OMNI" scanners work with RFID'ed debit/credit >cards, or only with OMNI's own system? Yes, they work with credit cards. If you sign up at omny.info you can add credit cards to your account and see your charges. If you're over 65 you can with some pain associate a reduced fare senior card (formerly a physical Metrocard) with one of your credit cards. Today I was on hold for quite a while as it counted down from 61 people on line ahead of me until I talked to a helpful woman who moved my reduced fare from my old Amex card to the new one they just sent that has a different account number. -- Regards, John Levine, johnl@taugh.com, Primary Perpetrator of "The Internet for Dummies", Please consider the environment before reading this e-mail. https://jl.ly

I (sniff) am ensconced in flyover country so this would be an occassional endeavor, and I'll pay full price... -- _____________________________________________________ Knowledge may be power, but communications is the key dannyb@panix.com [to foil spammers, my address has been double rot-13 encoded]

As mentioned elsewhere, with credit/debit cards. And with smart phone wallets (not that I know how exactly how that works). --Dan
