they do realize it is very difficult to use this card, when you live so far away?

regarding all the discussion here about using your FWB card buying food/beer: my bartender initially tried linking my FWB account manually (by typing my name in the computer, etc etc); then I suggested swiping itthrough the credit card reader, and that apparently worked. She commented that she had no idea that the cards were swipe-able, which makes me wonder how much training the bartending staff got on these things.
When I bought tickets at the window, though, they had me write down the email address associated with my FWB card and said that it would get linked that way. Which seems extremely inefficient if the card could just be swiped.

Yeah, I mean, if you explore the card itself for more than 2 minutes you'll discover the swipe strip on the back…. I thought that was there so that the card could be swiped….
So, if I open up a tab at a show I can use my card to get those points? That's boss.

Looks like it's a one to one ratio on drink purchases too. Just noticed my account has 14 new points for drinks I bought at a show (seven for each one, which is what they cost). That rules!

I got an email for a "Post-Sale" to one of the shows a couple weeks ago…. Mumford & Sons maybe? Or Lumineers? I'd have to pull it back up…

apparently it takes longer for the bar tabs to clear for points then? they swiped my card at saturdays show at the bar (and I saw on the receipt it had my little number on there) and i've already got my points for my check in.

I think so. My credits from last Tuesday night only showed up yesterday, I think.

so you get 10 points per one transaction? (buying advanced tickets to 3 different shows at the box office)?
well next time I'll do it three different days…

Buying multiple tickets at once online nets you per points per ticket. FYI.

Would have been nice to know there was a 10am presale for us FWB people for Morrissey! Luckily I figured the password was our number, but it took me a few minutes to find it….
