What are you talking about? Use any credit card and tap on the OMNY screen. That's it!
NOPE, the cards you use must be PRE-REGISTERED with the MTA.

Well... that would depend on how much you make and if you file taxes yourself so you can see how much they take out.

That is *NOT* true, period and end of discussion.

Have used OMNY from start and haven't registered jack sh*t with MTA or anyone else. Just tap and go.

Can't speak to what sort of CCs you have, but hundreds of others are using their phones, watches or CCs without any sort of other involvement with MTA.

Now for those on welfare or something that entitles them to a reduced fare Metrocard, that may be different. But again it in no way applies to general public.

WRONG, the credit card must be PRE-REGISTERED with the MTA before you can use it.
