Didn't bother getting one. I wouldn't pay to recharge the damn thing either. If you're too lazy to press 7 buttons and wait 5 seconds, that's just sad.

Honestly its a waste of money and time, if you dont have time to punch in a number, just use credit cards.

Silly people - bashing it before you look at it completely to realize it's -real- value.

The real value of Dexit is the "special offers" that the merchants provide.

Across from my work is a place called "pumpernickles". If you pay with Dexit you can get a montreal smoke meat sandwitch with soup of your choice for $5.

Cost without Dexit, $4.50 for the sandwitch, $2.50 for the soup.

Every merchant has a special Dexit offer. McDonalds near my work gives you "buy 1 get 1 free" on sandwitches, etc.

So, I throw $100 on my keyfob - which costs me $1.50. I have lunch ONCE at pumpernickles and I'm already in the money.

I figure I probably save $1 to $2 per day on lunches with Dexit. 20 lunches per month - $40 savings / month, all for a $1.50 cost.

I'll gladly use the thing to save $500 / year on my lunches. And being right downtown I have large number of options available for feeding.

Petty their hating on Dexit....
I think dexit is a good idea


Posted by Pett on Mar-25-2004 01:14:

but you can use it at tim hortons and other places u can't use debit....... why am i shamelessly plugging the company i work for??

P.s. www.dexit.com dexit, instead of cash


Got a little love a couple replies up
P.s. Rabitjoker, i'll see what i can do about topping up your account .... how ironic that i love your radio station and listen to it all day while i program the machine you love using...hmmm
McDonalds promotion is over though

Back in my university years I remember seeing something like this in Kingston - that most of the QueensU students used as it tied into their meal plans or something.

Well you must be very proud of yourself.


Posted by Skipper on Mar-25-2004 01:54:

I don't think I would find the benefit in it. Perhaps I would if I really tried, but I don't want to (lazy) and that's worth forfeiting any concrete savings I might get.


Posted by tha_broad on Mar-25-2004 01:55:

I warned them about that... the marketing people are RETARDS.
its costs the company like 20 bucks eventually for every free 5 buck tag they put out too.

my thoughts exactly, lol.

I'm just not that interested in a product that provides little real benefit to me. I rarely shop anywhere where I've noticed the Dexit option, like major fast food places.

Those "offers" are not paid for by Dexit, I'll wager...yet they see fit to pass the costs of "recharging" a tiny $100 limit to the customer? f that. They could pitch it as a free product and do much better, I'd suggest...but passing costs/premiums onto merchants (like cr. card companies do) would make it harder to get their product out there.

If this is truly a viable service, banks will get on board and Dexit will be out of business unless they convert to a truly free service. Currently, my unlimited free debit transactions and no-fee credit card serve me just fine EVERYWHERE I shop and eat

Are people getting so lazy that they cant even punch in a few numbers on a keypad? Debit works just fine for me thanks. If im ever in so much of a hurry that i dont have time to punch in 4 numbers then God help me.
