   According to danny burstein  :   
   >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.
