And you won't have to worry about keeping yet another balance (cash in your wallet, cash in chequeing account, and now cash in your Zoompass). And since Visa is more widely accepted than M/C and Costco only takes Amex I'm guessing the telco commitment is half-hearted and the M/C commitment is desperation! Not a good starting point.

Hopefully it will work through battery covers as I would like to stick the sticker somewhere unobtrusive like on the inside of the battery cover perhaps. I agree with the posters above.

I wouldn't stick that on my iPhone, that's for sure. Thanks Mastercard - I may use your device, but I have no interest in becoming a mobile advertising billboard for you!

I know I wouldn't just place a sticker willy nilly on my device ... although maybe it will work through battery covers?
