Mastercard Introduces PayPass System - RFID Chip Branded "Blink"
http://www.mastercard.com/aboutourcards/paypass.html
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 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!
