Staying at a Hotel? Travel Tip

Staying at a Hotel? very good info be sure to read
Always take a small magnet on your holiday; they come in handy at the end of it. Thought you all needed to know this…. This is pretty good info. Never even thought about key cards containing anything other than an access code for the room!
HOTEL KEY CARDS
Ever wonder what is on your magnetic key card?
Answer:
a. Customer’s name
B. Customer’s partial home address
c. Hotel room number
d. Check-in date and out dates
e. Customer’s credit card number and expiration date!
When you turn them in to the front desk your personal information is there for any employee to access by simply scanning the card in the hotel scanner..
An employee can take a hand full of cards home and using a scanning device, access the information onto a laptop computer and go shopping at your expense.
Simply put, hotels do not erase the information on these cards until an employee reissues the card to the next hotel guest. At that time, the new guest’s information is electronically ‘overwritten’ on the card and the
previous guest’s information is erased in the overwriting process.
But until the card is rewritten for the next guest, it usually is kept in a
drawer at the front desk with YOUR INFORMATION ON IT!
The bottom line is: Keep the cards, take them home with you, or destroy them. NEVER leave them behind in the room or room wastebasket, and NEVER turn them into the front desk when you check out of a room.
They will not charge you for the card (it’s illegal) and you’ll be
sure you are not leaving a lot of valuable personal information
on it that could be easily lifted off with any simple scanning device card reader.
For the same reason, if you arrive at the airport and discover you still have the card key in your pocket, do not toss it in an airport trash basket.
Take it home and destroy it by cutting it up, especially through the
electronic information strip!
If you have a small magnet, pass it across the magnetic strip several times.
Then try it in the door, it will not work. It erases everything on the card.

Sexy Caddies It Weren’t
My husband loves to golf and it almost ruined our marriage. It’s not what you think; an affair with a sexy, young caddy or too many cans of beer on the course. Our problem was much worse I must admit. I’ll be straight with you - I almost ruined his favorite pastime by polishing his gold clubs with jewelry cleaner. Yeah I know, golf clubs aren’t diamond earrings, but what did he expect - they were dirty! When Mitzel discovered that I had cleaned his precious clubs, he accused me of trying to turn him into a girl. He actually said, “should I put on a tutu and some lipstick?”
Our marriage suffered badly. For nearly two hours we didn’t even hum together (one of our favorite pastimes) and later that night he didn’t even feed me my favorite snack: sardines. Truly, I felt lost. That night I had a dream that I would buy him a golf bag travel cover to make up for my indiscretion. The next day I did and Mitzel cried tears of joy. That night he met me on the couch with sardines in hand! He even dipped them in my favorite condiment: ketchup! Love was in the air that night!
