How will my purchases be billed?
Using your Sprint phone to pay for your BART ride will work similar to the EZ Rider card. When you sign up for the trial, you will register your credit card number with Western Union Speedpay to load value onto the phone. The amount loaded will be equal to a $48 high value discount ticket, meaning we'll load $48 in value and only charge you $45. When your "wallet" amount reaches $10 or under, Western Union SpeedPay will automatically refill your fare from the credit card that you registered at sign up. The Jack in the Box card included on the phone is just like a prepaid card. You will be given some money to start with and you can refill it throughout the trial.
