Issued By: EZ-Link Pte Ltd
SINGAPORE, 16 July 2009 – Heading into the final lap of its ez-link card mass replacement exercise, EZ-Link, in collaboration with Singapore GP and other partners, launches a sleek Limited Edition SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX card sleeve and other prizes to reward those who exchange their cards from now till 11 September 2009. Besides getting a new card – the first and only card compliant with CEPAS and usable for public transit, retail and road toll payments, card users can now also lay their hands on the card sleeve, an exclusive memento commemorating the 2009 FORMULA 1 SINGTEL SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX.
For a limited period only, every 1-for-1 ez-link card exchange made at any SingPost outlet (Post Office) or TransitLink Ticket Office will entitle the card owner to a Limited Edition SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX card sleeve, limited to one card sleeve per person and while stocks last.
Besides the Limited Edition card sleeves, EZ-Link is also giving away tickets to the 2009 FORMULA 1 SINGTEL SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX in the weekly and grand draws! Head down to any TransitLink Ticket Office between now and 11 September 2009 to have your ez-link card replaced, and stand a chance to enter the weekly and grand draws by simply registering your new ez-link card at www.ezrewards.com.sg. The grand prize will consist of a pair of SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX Pit Grandstand tickets worth $2,976, while the weekly draw entitles the cardholder a pair of Single Day Walkabout tickets. Alternatively, to triple your chances of winning these attractive prizes, all you have to do is head down to any SingPost branch to have your ez-link cards exchanged, no online registration required!
SingPost is also offering up to a total of $1,000 worth of cash prizes for the replacement of the current ez-link cards every month, while ACE Insurance will reward registered holders of the new ez-link cards with free 6 months Accidental Permanent Total Disability insurance coverage of $5,000.
EZ-Link is pleased to remind drivers that the new ez-link cards which are CEPAS-compliant can now be used in the 2nd generation In-Vehicle Unit (2GIU). To bring even greater convenience to commuters and motorists alike, EZ-Link has recently unveiled EZ-Reload, the first auto credit card top-up facility in Singapore that supports the 2GIU and can be used to make Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) and Electronic Payment System (EPS) payments. Whether you are lapping past town or on the way to work, EZ-Reload ensures a peace of mind knowing that you will always have sufficient funds in your ez-link card while driving through an ERP gantry.
The one-for-one card replacement exercise will end on 30th September 2009, as the current EIFS fare system will be discontinued on the 1st October 2009. As the old ez-link cards cannot be used for travel on public transit after September 2009, EZ-Link encourages all card users to have their cards exchanged as soon as possible to avoid last minute queues.
