Plastic Cards: No More Trips Back to Hotel Front Desk

Perkins, OK (PRWEB) April 9, 2008 -- CLS Plasticard One of America's largest producers of plastic cards (http://www.cardjett.com/ordering/request_samples/) known for its high-end, durable plastic card printing, including gift cards, loyalty cards, membership cards, vip cards, hotel cards, offers tips for travelers this summer who's plans include a hotel stay.

The summer travel season is fast approaching and most families are making plans that include a stay at a hotel or motel. At one time or another we have all had problems using the plastic cards that hotels issue for room keys.

One of the most common problems is having your room key stop working. It worked the first night you checked in, however the next day after returning from some fun in the sun you find that your room key no longer works in the door. This is always frustrating because you either have your arms full or little Johnny had to go to the bathroom thirty minutes ago and was told to wait until you return back to the hotel.Inevitably you end up making a trip back to the front desk.The staff at the front desk have no answers except to ask.Did you get your room key next to a magnet? Do you have any type of magnetic device in your pockets? Do not let the room key rub up against the magnetic stripe on your credit cards. You are told that this will also sometimes erase the information on the room key.

Yes, it is possible that a magnet can erase the information on the room key but few people run around with magnets in their pockets. The magnetic stripe (http://www.cardjett.com/resources/about_plastic_cards/how-magnetic-cards.asp) of one plastic card will not affect another. The problem is usually a direct result of an error by the hotel staff.

Here are a few tips that can help make sure you do not encounter this problem:

Upon check in make sure your room key is valid for the full length of your stay.Most door locking system encoders have a default for the length of stay. Typically this is set for a one night stay.The hotel staff person checking in people needs to take the time to enter the correct length of stay when making the room key. If you plan on staying for three nights theroom key (http://www.cardjett.com/resources/about_plastic_cards/hotel-key-cards-indentity.asp)should be valid for all three nights. If not this will cause unnecessary and untimely trips back to the front desk as described above.

Ask questions of the person making your room key. Is the room key valid for my entire stay?

If you leave your room and forget to take your room key with you, make sure when you stop by the front desk you request a duplicate room key and not a new room key. If the front desk issues a new room key it will work; however, any other room keys made prior to that new room key will no longer work, including the one, or ones, left in your room.

So make sure to ask for a duplicate room key when room keys have been left in the room.

It is important to remember with most door locking systems. When you loose a room key you need to have the front desk issue new ones . It is not the making of the new room key that invalidates the lost room key It is invalidated only when the new room key is inserted in the door lock.
