How do individuals redeem their $100?

• Once someone's first COVID-19 vaccine dose is complete, they will receive an email with a link

to www.vax4nyc.nyc.gov/incentives.

• The incentive was announced on Wednesday, July 28. The option to select the $100 pre-paid

debit card will not be live until Friday July 30. Providers should be clear with all of their patients

during this time period: if an individual receives their first dose on July 28 or 29, they should

wait until Friday July 30 to go to www.vax4nyc.nyc.gov/incentives to redeem their $100 pre-

paid debit card incentive.

• On the website, individuals will be asked to enter their first dose appointment number, first

name, last name, date of birth, and home zip code to get access to the menu where they can

choose the $100 pre-paid debt card.

o Virtual Card (Email Address Required): If the patient has an email address, they can

select the virtual card option. When they select this option, they will receive an email

with a unique redemption code. Individuals should click the link in the email to be taken

to the website https://app.akimbocard.com/app/#/redeem/virtual where they will need

to enter the redemption code, name, email address, and phone number. Once they

input this information they will automatically receive their $100 pre-paid virtual debit

card which they can use online or in physical locations by adding to a digital wallet such

as Apple Wallets.

o Physical Card (Email Address Not Required): If the patient does not have an email

address, they should select the physical card option. The card will be mailed to the

address they input when they made their appointment.

§ TO COME: If individuals do not have a physical or email address, we will be

setting up walk-in pickup sites in the coming days. An announcement will be

made when they are available and the information for locations and hours will

be on nyc.gov/vaccineincentives. There will be multiple pickup sites in each

borough.
