Dec 09

You know the PATCO Wave & Pay ANYWHERE Visa® Prepaid Card is the easiest, most convenient way to pay your PATCO fares and shop everywhere that Visa is accepted.

But did you know there’s another benefit to riding the PATCO Wave & Pay wave? By following the Wave & Pay card on Facebook, you can be eligible to win fabulous prizes.

How fabulous, you ask? Just ask John DeHart and Lucia Mesa! They liked the PATCO Wave & Pay ANYWHERE Visa Prepaid Card Facebook page and, as a result, won tickets to an Eagles game and a Chris Brown concert.

John of Southern New Jersey won tickets to the Eagles/Cowboys game on October 30. He saw what had to be the Eagles best performance of the season so far, as they put up 34 points against the ‘Boys and held them scoreless until the fourth quarter. The final: Eagles 24, Cowboys 7. Michael Vick passed for two touchdowns and LeSean McCoy ran for 185 yards and scored twice.

Lucia of Southern New Jersey won tickets to see R&B artist Chris Brown at the Wells Fargo Center. Brown brought his “F.A.M.E. Tour” to town on October 28 and Lucia got to see the show, compliments of the Wave & Pay card.

If you don’t have one yet, be sure to get a PATCO Wave & Pay Card and “like” us on Facebook, at facebook.com/waveNpay. It’s one of the most convenient, technologically advanced payment cards in existence today. Use it to pay for PATCO fares and parking, to buy a cup of coffee, or to get cash from an ATM. You can just tap and go at all PATCO stations and it’s accepted everywhere Visa is. Learn more at PATCOpilot.com.

Transit Benefits and the Wave & Pay Card

Oct 12

Can Transit Benefits be loaded onto the PATCO Wave & Pay ANYWHERE Visa® Prepaid Card? Yes!

To load your pre-tax Transit Benefit dollars onto the Wave & Pay ANYWHERE Visa Prepaid Card, simply request a paper voucher from your employer or transit benefit company and present the voucher in person, along with your card, at the Freedom Card Service Center, located at the east side of the Broadway station.

Did you know that you can also load cash onto the Wave & Pay ANYWHERE Card for retail purchases? The card can be used for payment anywhere Visa debit cards are accepted. This unique technology keeps the cash loaded onto the card separate from pre-tax Transit Benefits, which pay for PATCO fare and parking only.

In addition, registered cards can be used to withdraw money from any ATM, get cash back, make online purchases and for transit fare should you use up all of your Transit Benefits.

Simplify your life. Load your Transit Benefits onto the Wave & Pay ANYWHERE Visa Prepaid Card and experience the new level of transit card flexibility.
