The Recreation Centers of Sun City West has modified the way members may purchase member credit, effective July 1.
The Association previously announced member credit could no longer be purchased at golf courses. However, after hearing from residents, the Association has made a slight shift in policy to continue to allow this convenience.
“After consulting with our software vendor, members will continue to be able to purchase member credit at our golf courses,” said CFO Clif Swann. “The member credit and virtual gift cards purchased at golf courses and on the RCSCW portal can only be redeemed at recreation centers or golf courses. These purchases will not be subjected to a 3 percent processing fee if they are purchased with a credit card.”
Alternatively, if members want to purchase member credit to be redeemed for annual dues or annual discount golf cards, they can only purchase it at the Membership Services Office at RH Johnson Campus. If a credit card is used to purchase this type of credit, it will be subject to a 3 percent processing fee.
Payment options in Member Services that are not subject to the 3 percent processing fee are checks, cash and debit cards. Additionally, on the portal, members may pay for dues using ACH/EFT to avoid the surcharge.
For more information, call Member Services at 623-544-6100.
I am glad that you came to your senses, and made it possible to purchase member credit at the golf course. It seems that you keep communicating these things. Keep it simple stupit as the old saying goes!
so now to purchase anything in SCW, including guest passes will be charged 3%? Can we pay cash for guests to visit??
Hi Renee, If you purchase member credit at the golf courses, there won’t be a surcharge. You can also pay for one day’s guest usage using credit card at the recreation centers without paying the surcharge.
I wish you would reconsider not being able to purchase guest dollars at all Rec Centers! There are times when Membership Services is not open. I have maneuvered the online purchase system but last minute situations could occur!
If you are trying to reduce the cost of using credit cards, please look just a little harder.
I stopped going to the Lizard Lounge partly because every time I ordered a drink, even a water, I had to run my credit card (I don’t carry cash).
If the cashiers would allow you to run a tab then use your card once I believe that could save quite a bit.
It should be an easy check, just count how many times credit cards are used in the Lizard Lounge per night.
We keep hearing credit. Will you be able to distinguish the difference between a credit and debit card since the 3% would not apply to a debit card?
