This white lady gets on my bus and ask me what the fare is. And I tell her, so she gives me her credit card. And I said we dont accept credit cards.
And she said buses dont accept credit cards. I ask her do you see a damn credit card machine on the farebox??

Thank you to all that answer.

Credit Card Imprints are illegal?
Jun 25, 2010 in
Credit Card Machines
I work at a hotel in Arkansas and I just had a guest from Nevada yell at me telling me that credit card imprints are now illegal. I don’t understand why american express would issue a credit card machine if they were illegal and if they were just recently made illegal why they wouldn’t call/mail all of the people they issued them to. He said that we can keep doing it until someone sues us I’m assuming he means himself since I imprinted it anyway it sounded to me like something was fishy since we have government and military people stay with us all the time and haven’t said a word, he told me it was due to the new privacy acts or something like that but i couldn’t find anything on it. It is a legitimate credit card imprinting machiene issued by american express.
Wow thanks alot! I thought it might be something like that, I know that we put them on reg. cards in case our system and back up both go down, and also to make sure the number in the computer and the number on the reg card match since people like to switch c.c. at check in and the computer doesn’t always save the second card so the wrong card could get charged. I feel a whole lot better now haha I just didn’t want my manager and what not to get in trouble. I’ve only been doing front desk for about 7 months since my hotel opened like i said we have lawyers and high ranking govt. officals come through all the time so i assumed that they would have told me by now.
Our telephone service in my restaurant has been temporarily disconnected so our credit card machine doesn’t work. What is the best way to say that we can’t accept credit cards due to telephone disconnection? Should I just write, "Due to our temporarily unavailable phone service, credit cards will NOT be accepted. We are sorry for this inconvenience. Thank You"
I was hoping that someone who is a little more tech/internet savvy than myself could tell me another option that I could use for a charger for my credit card machine that I may have laying around. It is a Nurit 8020 wiresless machine, but I cant find the size or specifications. I need a temporary AC adaptor until my new one arrives in the mail. Please list examples of Items that may use the same style for example the power chord for the cable box…

Credit Card Number lawsuit?
May 20, 2010 in
Credit Card Machines
I need some legal advice because this kinda woke me up. I ate at a restaurant tonight and paid with my visa check card, the guy gave me my reciept from the credit card machine, and instead of giving me the customer copy he gave me the merchant copy. I looked, and my entire string of my credit card number was on that copy with the exp date. My thought was if they have an employee planning to go nuts… they can take my credit card and go shopping. Do I have grounds to file a lawsuit here?

Having Digital Phone installed, 4 lines, alarm, credit card machine. Need Wiring Info?
May 14, 2010 in
Credit Card Machines
Finally dropping the Telco and moving data and voice services to Time Warner…
We have an old 4 Line AT&T Partner phone system (4 lines), an alarm and a credit card machine.
Line 1, 2 and 3 will go direct to the AT&T System. Line 4 with need to connect to the alarm, followed by the credit card machine and finally connect to the phone system.
What would be the best way to wire that so it makes sense to others and looks clean, proper, professional.
I can run network cable all day long, but get uncomfortable when I’m not just punching to a patch panel and rj45 jack.
I’ll be using a patch panel for our extensions. If it makes sense, I could use a patch panel for the 4 incoming lines as well.
How to connect a wired credit card machine to my notebook (laptop)?
May 10, 2010 in
Credit Card Machines
I use a cell connection for my notebook and I have a credit card machine (Ingenico 5100) that I would like to connect to it. My wireless connection uses a USB connection for the cell service, and I think there should be a way to do this easily, but I cannot figure it out. Seems to me that my wired connection should be able to be configured on my notebook to bridge the cell adapter and credit card machine. The Ingenico has a network cable and network capable.
I use a G# connection for my notebook and I have a credit card machine (Ingenico 5100) that I would like to connect to it. My wireless connection uses a USB connection for the G3 service, and I think there should be a way to do this easily, but I cannot figure it out. Seems to me that my wired connection should be able to be configured on my notebook to bridge the cell adapter and credit card machine. The Ingenico has a network cable and network capable. I have contacted the credit card companies, my merchant account provider and Ingenico and neither have the software to do it. I use Windows xp.
Can a business run their credit card transactions without a LAN line?
May 05, 2010 in
Credit Card Machines
My boss always has me doing miscellaneous odd jobs while I’m at work in his store, and today one of his assignments to me is to find out (even though I am about 75% incompetent with computers and technology of all sorts) if he could cancel his LAN line for one of his businesses, but use a cell phone that he’s already paying for every month to run the credit card machine. Someone I know suggested that he’d have to buy a -600 machine to work with the cell phone, and I know the clerk @ that business can always call one of his other businesses and run the card transactions through one of his viable credit card machines. But if someone knows ANYTHING credible about this, I would really love some information, cuz I’m really in the weeds here! Thanks!
ok, "land" line then, goes to show how technology retarded I am
excuse me, "technologically challenged" i believe is the PC term, before ppl start flagging this question.
if my boss disconnected his "land line" we would have no internet.
Our salon has a credit card machine. Owner wants to charge us $1 per client + 5% of our tips. Is this normal?
May 03, 2010 in
Credit Card Machines
We have a credit card machine at our grooming salon. We work on straight commission and tips. There is no hourly wage. We earn a percentage of each dog that we groom. There is a tip line available on the credit card slip if clients feel that they want to leave a gratuity. Most of our customers do leave tips. The salon owner says that the machine and the tip line is costing her hundreds a month so she wants to have us give her per client plus 5% of our tips. Is this normal at other pet grooming or human grooming salons? I know you can’t give me an exact amount because it varies on the type of business, volume etc., but generally how much does the tip line cost and what is the average cost for a credit card machine per month?
Why do Taxi drivers always say their credit card machine is giving them problems?
May 01, 2010 in
Credit Card Machines
This has really pissed me off lately, but I’ve been on several business trips where the Taxi driver says - "Oh my credit card machine is giving me problems, sorry." It got worse with my recent business trip to Boston, where 3 out of the 4 taxi drivers told me the same thing, and the last one said that his machine was giving him problems all day, and he didnt even try to see if it was working. So he said, "how much cash you got?" I said which is all I had, so then he gave a big sigh and then pressed his machine and swiped my card and VIOLA! it worked on the first try, what a load of crap he was giving me.
Business - credit card company agreements after business tanks?
Apr 23, 2010 in
Credit Card Machines
My uncle ran a restaurant in Maryland and had a four year agreement with the credit card machine company to accept credit card orders. The business has since gone belly up but they still require him to pay the 0/month fee. Is this normal practice? I have not seen or read the agreement but is it not standard where if the business tanks, you no longer have to pay the credit card company?
so i noticed on my bank transactions that i had some fraudulent charges made to my account. what bothered me was i used my card at a certain location and then the fraudulent charges were made thru the same terminal. does this mean they were done thru the same computer? or credit card machine?
Credit card fraud how to catch the person?
Apr 06, 2010 in
Credit Card Machines
So I am totally unsure about this, my parents own a small restaurant and we had a credit card machine for around 1 year, my dad never opens the merchant service mails untill last week, the letter said that someone filed a credit card fraud and 2 times as we look at the date of the transaction we found the recipe of the payment and it was both same person signature paid with different cards, and they filed for a refund both time.
My question is if this person comes back, We know who it is and wanted to know what we can do to help stop the person.
Credit Card vs Debit Card Processing?
Mar 23, 2010 in
Credit Card Machines
Are fees applied to establishments that accept credit cards when credit cards are used? For instance, if I bought something form a local retailer and I used my credit card, would the retailer be charged a fee for the credit card transaction? I heard they do, but not sure.
And my —main— question is this: If they do get charged a fee for using a credit card, is it the same when a customer uses a debit card? A card that withdraws money directly from the customers account? Or is that a free charge for the establishment that owns the credit card machine?

Last night I closed all the credit card checks on the credit card machine at work (I am a bartender) but I didn’t add a tip on my most generous check! How do I reopen it?
I have wireless 5GB broadband internet service on my computer. Is there anyway I can hook a credit card machine to my usb port and use the internet to run credit cards for my business. If so, what is a good setup.
Thanks!
