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.

i was briefly interested in Dexit....until i saw how much it costs to use - essential a 1.5% premium....no thanks

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.

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

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.
