Friday 26 February 2016 11:47 CET | News

MasterCard has announced the return of a promotion letting people use the Transport for London network for free or at a discount each Monday, as long as they pay for their trips using Apple Pay.

The new promotion will run February 29th through March 14th, and cover most TfL services, the main exceptions being the Thames Clipper River Bus, and National Rail services without a yellow card reader. MasterCard said it will refund a rider up to GBP 28.10 per each Monday.

As before, customers need an Apple Pay-ready device with NFC. Currently that includes the iPhone 6/6 Plus, the iPhone 6s/6s Plus, and the Apple Watch. Also, they must have a UK MasterCard.
