Re: [vpFREE] CONUNDRUM

 

I think when something like this happened to me it was due to the magnetic catch on my cell phone case.
I put the players card in same pocket with the cell phone case and it stopped working.

When I leave home, I carry a stack of player's cards, which includes 2 from each of the casinos I play regularly

The other morning, I arrived at a casino and the first card I inserted in a machine didn't work, so I inserted the second, with the same result. I asked a floor person if the system was down, and she said it wasn't. We went to a kiosk, where I swiped both cards. but could not access my account. She suggested they had been demagnetized.. Went to my car where I keep spares, and returned with another card, which also failed to work  I decided that their system must be down, and went elsewhere

That evening, I tried to use one of my cards at their steakhouse, and was told it wasn't valid. I had 2 new cards made, which worked perfectly, and there was no problem with any aspect of my account.

The next day, just out of curiosity, I brought a different card from home, and found it did not work, although the new cards did.

Apparently, at some point,  someone or something had deactivated all the existing cards I had from that casino, no matter where they were located, while leaving my account intact

I wonder whether anyone has encountered this situation, and/ or has the technical expertise (or perhaps imagination) to come up with an explanation. The casino couldn't (or wouldn't)
