Carolina Pride Mercury Payment System

[peaches]

Has anyone installed Carolina Pride meter boxes? We are considering these along with their mercury payment system for credit cards and fleet accounts. We want to accept credit cards on the self service side and the Carolina Pride system looks good. They even have a card dispenser.

Hmmm...I just went to their website to check it out. Looks interesting. Did you get any prices?

I did get prices and they were less expensive than the Wash Card system. However, Carolina Pride's dispensing unit does not have the capability to reload the cards. Basically, all you can do is purchase new cards whereas the Wash Card system gives the customer the opportunity to purchase new cards and reload old cards, which in turn gives me the opportunity to sell more washes. I think Carolina Pride is missing the boat here.
