Resorts Laundry Question......

[jgraney106]

Haven't used the resort laundry yet, since the credit card system was put in. My question is.....Do you pay for / insert your credit cards in each individual washer or dryer that you use , or is there one place that is located in the laundry to pay using a credit card and the machine number? If so, do you have to do this for each machine number individually , or can you pay for all of them at once?
Thanks for the info. I've seen pictures posted, but wasn't really clear on how it was done.

I at the YC it was a credit card kiosk and I paid separate for each load and at the kiosk you select the dryer or washer number you would like to use. It was very easy to use.

You will walk into the laundry and on the wall there will be a credit/debit card type of machine with a number pad where You will pick which washer you want, push the button and insert your card. They have an app where you can watch and see when your washer/dryer is done! It's really easy...I did about 5 loads last time I was there! I also brought my own "tide" pods and bounce from home along with a portable hamper! easy-peasy!

So if I understand correctly , there is one place to pay, not on each machine. But you would have to insert your card 3 times for 3 different washer numbers, right? Thank you for the clarification.

You would use your CC once, even if you have multiple machines. So, swipe your card and then enter what machines you have and all will be charged once. Same process for the dryers, swipe once and choose the machine number. If you use one machine or all six you only need to swipe once.

This website is also very helpful so you know if machines are open and when your machine is done.

What @snowmedic said. Say you use 3 washers - load the washers, then go pay at the machine. You swipe then pick the washer numbers you want to "turn on." Same with the dryer later, you'll swipe again at that point to turn on the dryers you want.

FWIW - Unless this has changed in the last year, they do not take Amex. I had to use my MasterCard/debit card... I screwed up the washer start (my fault) so had to swipe/charge a couple of times. By the time I needed to use the dryer my card had been flagged by the bank for multiple transactions close together - something about the small dollar amount back-to-back like that triggered some flag on their end. That was fun dealing with that while on vacation.
