Not just credit card for OMNY, you can use Apple/Samsung/Google pay on your smart device (Watch/Phone/Tablet) and as long as it is the same device the system will count trips for the unlimited. Unlimited OMNY benefit though runs Sunday to Monday splitting the weekend. Swipes are counted Midnight Sunday and free rides once qualified after 12 trips end Midnight the following Monday.
You can also purchase a specific OMNY card from retailers (usually drug stores on the gift card rack) but must fund the purchase by putting a minimum of $5 on the card at the point of purchase. Once registered online you can fund the card with a debit/credit card.
