Coin?

[fastward]

I'm not sure if I was a merchant that I would want to accept a plain black card. Many places now ask for your card and also input the security code.

You would stil need the security code.

Will this work in those automated payment machines in parking garages? I would be concerned that the rollers would crush the Coin.

Q. Why are you charging me immediately for my pre-order?
A. Creating and manufacturing new devices is expensive. As a young company, being able to use the revenue from your pre-order to pay for things as we build them helps us reduce risk and helps ensure that we deliver the best possible product and customer service to you.

I'm in after they successfully launch. Is this a MKII project?

That analogy did pop into mind.

MKII is still better than Olivier. 3 years vs never.

Been following, and it's an interesting concept. I can see the convenience, one question will be if they can add EMV (Europay Mastercard Visa) which uses a smart chip and is pretty much all you can use in most other parts of the world. It's coming to the US in 2015 (actually here in small bunches) and their FAQ says they will be looking to add it in the future. I think that is easier said than done, as getting certified with Visa or MC is pretty laborious.

Still, I really like the concept, though with the battery lasting only about 2 years, you'll need a new one approx. every 24 months at the normal $100 price. That's a bit steep. Though I may end up preordering one also just to keep up on the tech.

I don't think Oliver is at his 3 year mark yet.

[matt.wu]

Yeah. It's definitely an extra expense, but it's perfect for me. I currently purposely will leave cards (ATM, extra CC, gift cards) at home because I don't want to carry them, so this will allow me to make sure I can carry all of them (at least 8 - more in the phone) with me at once.

[gonzomantis]

So, now when you hand over your card the bad guys can skim all of your accounts instead of just one? I'd like to hear how secure these really are.

Only one card at a time is active.

But doesn't it only take one button press to switch to the next card?

Interesting. I only carry three credit/ATM cards, but have lots of gift cards I never use, because I never have them with me.

Yup. Gift cards is the big kicker for me. I mean really, who gives a Red Robin gift card as a gift????

WTF is wrong with Red Robin?????


damn food snobs.

My kids love Red Robin

… now if only I could find a fool-proof system of always getting a toy out of the claw machine in the front of the restaurant

[matt.wu]

The food was actually good, and I got a couple nice big beers with my salad and shared fish & chips, but if I didn't have a GC, there are a million other places within a 20 mile radius that I'd rather spend my money at.

I get the veggie burger at Red Robin at least once a month. Good shit. I keep my Red Robin Royalty card in my George Costanza wallet.

Some of us are not lucky enough to live in the Bay Area where there are tons of great food options

Since the conductor already threw the rail switch on this thread, let me say that Red Robin rocks when you need to wolf down a very quick lunch/dinner combo and pound a couple of 22oz Mac n Jacks before accompanying your wife to the latest "Harry potter" or "hunger games" flick, 7pm showing.

Try that shit at your favorite 4 star upriver grill place, and you'll either go hungry, sober, late, or all three.

Red Robin: the leatherman multi of restaurants. Not the most elegant tool, but you'll be damn glad to find a good one on hand when you need it.

[BBK357]

I always get the whiskey river BBQ chicken sandwich, no mayo. Haven't tried a burger yet because the chicken is always so good.

[rockmastermike]

I like it in theory.
what if the red robin server takes my card and unkowingly changes the card selection by touching the button when they swipe it or just handle it? do you have to put in a pin each time to change what card is in use?

and second, 30241 is not exactly cosmopolitan so I would be probably be asked to leave for tying to scam them by this "phoney looking" credit card.

I love their burger with an egg, yummy.

Chilis over any of the other casual chains.
