Here a few FAQs posted on the Promo Page:
Can I participate in the Commuter Cash program
All Chase debit or credit cardholders are eligible to participate in this promotion. All you have to do is enroll. Enroll Now.
What if I made purchases before I enrolled my debit card in this promotion?
No problem. All qualifying purchases from September 1 through November 15, 2009, will count toward the cash award, regardless of the date you enroll your card as long as you enroll by November 15, 2009.
I always select the “ATM/DEBIT” button at MetroCard Vending Machines, then enter my PIN when using my Chase Debit Card. Does that purchase qualify?
No. If you make purchases with your debit card and enter your Personal Identification Number (PIN) they do not qualify for the $10 Cash Award. Pressing “DEBIT” requires you to enter your PIN to complete the transaction. By pressing the “CREDIT” button, you can complete your transaction without entering your PIN in public and the money will always come out of your checking account and your purchases will qualify for the Commuter Cash promotion.
I normally pay for NYC Yellow Cabs with cash. How can I use my Chase card to pay for the fare and qualify for this promotion?
Nearly all NYC Yellow Cabs now have payment terminals that accept cards. So you can use your Chase Debit or Credit Card to pay for your fare inside the cab.
