For JFK (and NYC), the Metrocards reach end of life come December but the AirTrain is now taking contactless payments using the same OMNY terminals as the subway/buses.
The AirTrain is currently US$8.50 to Jamaica. Then E line (US$2.90) or LIR* to manhattan. I assume it’s the same to Howard Beach but the changeover at Jamaica is easier.
The AirTrain doesn’t count towards the weekly cap if using the subway / buses while in NYC.
You can create a login and register a CC/DC to track your trips towards the weekly cap and/or query incorrect charges.
*didn’t use the LIR but I believe it’s ticketed separately.

PS
JFK is a massive construction zone at the moment with terminal and roadworks.
