So that's the thing ... IF I want to use it like cash then go to the -- hang on, I've got cash in my pocket, why don't I just use CASH? But they, the ANZ and Wgtn bus company are going to penalise me for that. So what do I gain from this "cool-ness" ... a more expensive bus ride home.
And if you are an ANZ member and use your credit card (with any fancy email address) then they can work out who you are.
And if you use the same IP address (broadband anyone) then they can work out it is "probably" one person and do data magic on it - Google is in the European pooh because of exactly this.
So ... it's not really, if at all, "like cash" - we pay for their card, their data tracking, and their dropping of costs by giving them money (the cards aren't free are they?) and more importantly our data - think FlyBuys but no-ones really telling you you're being tracked.
Hmmm, I'm not so sure about this card really ... and it's because they're not telling us the whole story.
