I have been hearing and seeing a lot about this powerpay thing. What exactly is it? It seems pretty cool.

Now that all the bugs have been worked out I like it.   :yay
I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage
I found that just surviving was a noble fight.
I once believed in causes too,
I had my pointless point of view,
And life went on no matter who was wrong or right.

I'll give it a positive vote. I'm still a little iffy about the "potential" of the technology, but the concept is nice. It will be a bit better when all the employees learn what it is, and how to work it.

Here's what it looks like:

basically your credit card is attached to the powerplay thing.  When you go to purchase something you just wave that little card in front of a censor and it is charged to your credit card.  That simple.  No signing your name, no handling money... just swipe the powerplay card and your done.   I like it.

I don't know the specifics, but:

If someone loses their card, can I use it all day long without having to sign anything or show ID?

They sent me one in the mail.....but i have yet to activate it.  Sounds like a good idea but I have a feeling I will end up getting loaded and buying every round of beers.   :paranoid

if you lose it, all you do is call them and tell them. You are not responsible for your purchases if that is the case. Same as if you lost your credit card.

Holy shtein, that's even better than using someone elses card!  Just use your own during the game and then once they stop selling beer, call in and tell them you lost it!   :evil

You no longer can use your own CC or debit card to link it to. You HAVE to get the credit card in order to use it. I just got off the phone with them. Its the same thing at the Phillies games with this paypass thing.

I just told the chick at guest services that they're going to lose a TON of customers over this. Not many people are going to want to take out a new credit card just to have faster access at concession stands. The whole convenience of it was it coming out of a debit or credit card you already owned. She didn't agree....she's a farging idiot.

You can count me as one of the ones they'll lose. I've worked very hard to limit the amount of debt & credit cards that I have and I'm not opening a new card so I can buy beer/food quicker.

Powerpay was a good program but I can't buy into this.
