"To mark the retirement of the MetroCard after more than three decades in circulation, the MTA has launched a short-window giveaway featuring replicas of the original blue cards, complete with classic New York imagery on the back, including Radio City Music Hall and the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Each card comes preloaded with either $15 or $6, enough for a couple of nostalgic swipes before OMNY entirely takes over."
"If you're on Instagram, head to the MTA's official giveaway post and tag a friend in the comments. One tag counts as one entry and that's it. If you don't have Instagram, you can also enter by emailing your full name and phone number to entries@mtacd.org with the subject line "MetroCard Farewell Giveaway." Same odds, same prize, no scrolling required."
Four limited-edition blue MetroCard replicas styled after the 1994 cards will be given away as a farewell before MetroCard retirement on December 31, 2025. Each replica features classic New York imagery and is preloaded with either $15 or $6 for immediate use. Entry is available via Instagram by tagging a friend on the MTA's giveaway post or by emailing entries@mtacd.org with the subject "MetroCard Farewell Giveaway." Entries close December 18 at 11:59 pm ET, winners will be selected at random and contacted the week of December 22. Entrants must be 18 or older, one entry per person.
