Macquarie Bank Platinum Card now gives you a home ground advantage

As the official credit card of the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) and Sydney Football Stadium (SFS), Macquarie Bank is pleased to introduce credit card payment technology across both stadiums.

As a Macquarie Bank Visa Platinum cardholder, you will receive these benefits at the SCG and SFS:

• the speed and ease of contactless payment technology
• use of Advantage Lines – new express lanes at the SCG and SFS
• unique rewards benefits.

You can now enjoy a home ground advantage with the Macquarie Bank Visa Platinum Card. These great benefits will be available in time for the cricket season in January 2009 and will continue to be available for all cricket, AFL, NRL, Super 14 and A-League matches.

There’s no need to swipe or sign

The Macquarie Visa Platinum Card features contactless payment technology that removes the need for a signature, PIN or cash. Simply wave your Card near a contactless reader for food and beverage transactions under $100 at both stadiums. Contactless payment technology delivers these great benefits:

• greater speed – contactless transactions are significantly faster than a normal credit card transaction
• convenience – you no longer have to worry about carrying cash to the game
• enhanced security – the card never leaves your hands when making a transaction, thereby reducing the opportunity for your card details to be copied or compromised
• innovative experience – be among the first to enjoy the ease of contactless payments.

Contactless readers will be available at a selection of food and beverage outlets in time for the cricket season in January 2009.
