| 1186498 | 2011-03-15 21:38:00 | Hi, is this card just convenience? I could not find details online if it gives you a discount. Can someone confirm this? If so ... what's the monetary incentive to load up funds in advanced :rolleyes: The Newlands Coach has it however .... Also the card cost $10 right? $20 credit cost $30 to buy. |

| 1186500 | 2011-03-15 22:39:00 | There are discounts for some things as I understand it (like movies in Wellington), but it's mostly just convenience. | Siobhan Keogh (16063) | ||
| 1186501 | 2011-03-15 22:58:00 | You put it on the magic card reader thingy on the bus and it goes BOOOP and then you get on the bus. You can also buy Subway with it. I R not seeing downside :B |

| 1186502 | 2011-03-15 23:15:00 | It'll also be usable on the trains shortly. IIRC Britomart (?), Grafton, Mt Eden and Kingsland will have gates installed in time for the RWC - but you might want to check that :p | pcuser42 (130) | ||

| 1186505 | 2011-03-15 23:50:00 | Yes So what is the advantage then? You can prepay for services and get a discount. Or you can keep your money in the bank and get interest. |

Sounds like a good idea to me, interest in the bank is a joke, an oxymoron almost\ The discount would be better than interest in the bank Bonus bonds are better thank interest in the bank |

| 1186507 | 2011-03-15 23:58:00 | And if you don't live in Wellington or Auckland as most of the population doesn't then would you buy a Snapper card? | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
