DVC Laundry

Since this came out there has been a bunch of conflicting reports most are saying if you use the app/apple/Google pay there isn’t an issue. Debit card are potentially the problem and not credit cards. Sounds like this could just be a lot about noting

DVC laundry rooms should only be for people staying in the DVC villas and studios. Guest services at the resorts should not be sending cash guests from the hotel side of shared resorts to the DVC laundry rooms under any circumstances. If nothing else they should be referring the cash guests to the laundry valet bags in their room's closet.

Is a Visa not a Visa? Do they not issue Visa cards in the rest of the world? I know when I travel abroad they pretty much only take Visa. I wonder why the laundry company can't take a UK-issued Visa card for example. I'm really ignorant about the intricacies of international travel, I guess.

I think the card processing companies handle international card differently, regardless of branding. There may be a international processing/conversion fee that is paid by the vendor, as well as the card holder.

The only time I've had an issue getting a machine when I want to do laundry is when staying in BPK. That goes for DVC and any other timeshare I've stayed at. Granted with most other timeshare systems, they have very few studios compared to DVC so most units have their own laundry. That huge BPK building is all studios and there are only 2 washers. Kidani is a huge resort but many of the villas have laundry so the small laundry room is adequate. I haven't stayed at Polynesian yet.

That is a shame as well. (along with the Poly)
