Surprised to Learn Any Card Can Power a Hotel Room – Was I the Only One Who Didn’t Know?

[riverthorn]

I work as a hotel receptionist and once had a drunk guy trying to open his door with a nectar card..he called me an idiot when I asked him if he wanted help,I obviously got the last laugh

When ur abroad any card works in the air con too

 

[sysop]

Had no idea. Just need the stay in a hotel to try it out now lol

I never knew this

We knew this and then we went on holiday and only the door card worked, not sure what kind of magic it was but it was annoying

 

[trusted489]

We always leave a store card in the electric when on holiday, it keeps the air con on when it’s hot

 

[erinwells]

Used to do that shove any card in or pieve of cardboard keep aircon on while we was out.
