Q: I read that I can Pre-Swipe my credit card at check-in. Can you tell me more about this, and if it's safe?
A: This feature is available to us through our event software program and is completely SAFE. When checking in on March 20th, you will be asked if you would like to pre-swipe (pre-register) your credit card. WHY PRE-SWIPE? By pre-swiping your credit card you will be able to enjoy a worry-free, relaxed evening while bidding on items in our silent and live auctions, wine for wishes and other items with your bid number which, through our Auction Pay Software, will be linked directly to your account. There, the information will be encrypted and securely stored. Rest assured NO CHARGES WILL BE MADE TO YOUR ACCOUNT WITHOUT YOUR AUTHORIZATION. At the end of the evening, guests will be asked to verify successful bids and receive a printed receipt for purchased items. Your payment data is also protected after the transaction has been processed. Our software company, Auctionpay, is PCI (Payment Card Industry) Compliant. Auctionpay's technology and processes are reviewed quarterly to ensure PCI compliance standards, along with an annual on-site audit by a PCI-accredited 3rd party. That makes Auctionpay a Level 1 vendor, the highest, most secure level for PCI compliance. This feature will provide those guests who choose to utilize it a SECURED, QUICK AND EASY CHECK-OUT PROCESS. Please remember, this is optional. You may also use the standard check-out, which we will graciously accept cash, check, or credit card payment.
