It's a contactless card for the elite Discover card members with uber FICO scores.

I don't think you have to very elite to get one. Give them a call and they'll send you one. I've had mine for several months but have only used it once and that was just to see if it worked.

hemi961, does it work if you don't touch the contactless reader?

Can't help myself, I take things literally sometimes.  Good for laughs.

That's cool. I'm still waiting for Citi to mail me Paypass for my Dividend Platinum Select MC. 

I find it very strange that Citi does not offer embedded Paypass credit card and instead have to get a separate payment tag, but we'll see.

I personally love my Zip card. I actually have it behind my HTC Evo's battery cover. The Zip card comes in real handy if I ever forget my card. I just tap my phone to pay for my items. Sometimes the cashiers look confuse when I swipe my phone across the pad lol

Yes it worked that way for me.  I have mines attached to the back of my BlackBerry.  I waved the phone in front of the payment machine and it worked instantly.
