<p>Hi, We were told that students could use their splash cards for laundry. When my DD went to use it, it didnt work. How do you fund the splash card to be able to swipe for laundry? I thought it would go against your extra Wavebucks attached to the card but I guess not. Thanks</p>
<p>You actually have to fund the debit side of the card separately or your student won’t have any funds to use for this sort of thing. </p>
<p>From the Tulane site:
With your Tulane Splash Card debit account, you have the convenience of paying for just about anything on campus with a wave or swipe of your ID card. No worries about carrying cash, checks, credit cards or having exact change. Use your Tulane Splash Card to purchase books, school supplies, technology-related items, a croissant to go with that mid-morning iced mocha and much more. You can use it for services such as laundry, vending machines, copiers and computer printing. The amount of your purchase is automatically deducted from your Tulane Splash Card account. The remaining balance is displayed; you will always know what is left in your account. This is how you can make a deposit: //tulane.edu/cardservices/deposit.cfm </p>
<p>Everything I read on the website sounds great, but in reality, so far, you can’t deposit money on the card from home - only in person or by sending money in the mail. They are apparently still working on that so we can deposit from afar. That being said, my D was not able to use her loaded Splash card for her first trip to the laundry room and we put money on it at move-in. Not sure what’s up with that but she has not tried it again since. She ended up going to the Whitney bank on campus and bought herself a roll of quarters and has been using that for laundry. Hopefully they’ll work out the kinks soon but wanted to let you know the little glitch she ran into. Of course, it could be just her card having issues or the particular machine she was trying to use too.</p>
<p>I would ask my d, but it’s only been three weeks since school started and surely that’s too soon to do laundry! I’ll get back to you in a couple of weeks.</p>
<p>Just heard from d. Her splash card, which I loaded on move in day, works for laundry.</p>
<p>The loaded Splash card works for my S as well although the first time he did laundry, it did not and he had to search for quarters. Apparently the kinks have been worked out.</p>
<p>Good to know the card is now working. Vitrac - still laughing at the “it’s only been 3 weeks” comment. :)</p>
<p>nj_mom-It’s only when bathing suit bottoms double as underwear that doing laundry moves up the priority list!</p>
<p>Thanks everyone. I will tell DD to walk over to Bruff and make a deposit. Lets see if she does it or waits for her Parents to fund the card on Parent weekend!</p>
