After my Metrocard finally ran out of money, I started using OMNY with my credit card. It's pretty foolproof as long as you remember to hold the card to the reader for an extra beat (it's not quite as fast as I had imagined). Alas, my pre-tax commuter benefits card doesn't have a chip, and management doesn't seem to want to acknowledge OMNY other than that it exists. So I'm back to Metrocards for the time being.

One tip for OMNY users: you should create an online OMNY account. That way, you can add the credit card(s) you use on the readers and keep track of trips in case of disputes.
