TNWR: Monthly LIRR commuters - I have a ticket question

Do any of you do the mail and ride? And get the 2% discount - I figured it out that it would save me like $5.98, do you feel it's worth it?

This is with the unlimited metro card, I never get that but I am thinking I should start b/c I hate going back and forth to fill it and worrying whether or not I have enough on there plus I feel I am wasting more money!

Any suggestions would be great - TIA!!!!

I don't take the LIRR but they do something through at my job that saves us a little bit of money on the metrocards (or the ticket for LIRR) is sent directly to you in the mail. I like the system so much better because I never have to worry about buying my metrocard. It's taken out of our paycheck pre-tax.

FH's business does this. It saves him almost $75 bucks since its pre-taxed (at least thats what he tells me). In these times, every penny helps! I have to set it up for myself, but never get around to it

I do it. It's like chump change when you think about it but better your money then theirs. Its also hassel free and you can always stop them from coming if you don't need it for a month or two.

I do the mail and ride for ease. It makes life so much simpler because the ticket machine at my station is not near where I park.

But I don't get any discount cause I don't do the metro card.

If you use the subway everyday to and from work the unlimited metro card is worth it.
