flashing and paying
I just got the new NETS FlashPay Card. The FlashPay Card is a contactless card just like the EZ-Link, but also with additional functions other than transport. Say, buying a soya bean drink or something like that from the stores? To be honest, the cute bee mascot attracted me. But more importantly I support the idea of having more than 1 player in this card market. I seriously didn't like the idea of one moment it's deposit then the next moment it became non-refundable card making fee. For the promotion period you don't even have to pay the card cost for the FlashPay. 12 bucks means 12 bucks worth of trips on the bus or train. Or like I said, soya bean milk. I really wonder why they didn't launch the new card before 1st October, when the first generation EZ-Link cards expired. Surely could have grabbed a big portion of the cake.
Some observations: 7-Eleven still don't have the card. I got mine at Cheers. And when you buy the card you have to key in your mobile number.
I should be flashing (my new card) soon :P
flash sia... *smirk*
anyway, it's a good thing they allow another player into the ezlink card business and see how much more the other player can offer the consumers.
all that discounts and joint promos, only a big player can afford and have the contacts to do this.
good for the consumers.
