Mastercard Introduces PayPass System - RFID Chip Branded "Blink"

PayPass Drive Thru TV Commercial

The Chase version of this card is featured in a campaign called "Blink"... at this promo site. Notice the "smart chip" in the center of the card. That's the RFID chip, folks. The trade pub CardWeb has an article here. It requires a compatible POS terminal that Chase is rolling out nationally.

The image “http://www.chaseblink.com/media/hand_card_reader.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

The ExxonMobil SpeedPass is familiar, no? It should be ... it's practically the same technology. But now it's embedded in the credit card instead of requiring a dangling keychain device. BTW, SpeedPass and McDonald's was a total failure!
