I ran my Anthem RFID card through an X-Ray to see where it runs. Proceed at your own risk 😉 It seems to me that punching a hole in the exact circle of the WiFi symbol would be safe, but card stock might change and have slight variations. dp You can kind of see that when you hold them up to a strong light. Especially the white ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched the "Sharon at Seas" vlog for their recent Symphony cruise. They were told no they could not punch a hole because of the RFID technology.

SRF Posted July 5, 2019 #35 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I use something like this one for my badge at work. It is easy to slip it in and out. I have to have the badge out to open main entry doors, and they are used to log into computers. So it is in and out a lot. The downside is, it is RFID shielded, so you will need to remove the card to open your room door. https://www.amazon.com/Specialist-ID-Identity-Stronghold-Blocking/dp/B00UG8ZV0K/ref=sxbs_sxwds-stvp?keywords=lanyard+card+holder&pd_rd_i=B00UG8ZV0K&pd_rd_r=258176ee-822a-42f8-adc2-b538a67d3795&pd_rd_w=phKNh&pd_rd_wg=XrxDC&pf_rd_p=a6d018ad-f20b-46c9-8920-433972c7d9b7&pf_rd_r=TB3M6770912V82BC08BY&qid=1562361999&s=gateway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tree_skier Posted July 8, 2019 #37 Share Posted July 8, 2019 On Adventure, I assume that there is no RFID chip. Do I take the cards to GS and get them to punch them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzard05 Posted January 22, 2020 #49 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I was just on Oasis over the holidays and Guest Services has a self-serve punch right on the desk (so you don't have to wait in line). Now with that said, the Guest Services representative I was working with showed me how to do it (there was a certain way to place your card in the punch)....but I came back later and did all of our cards and they all worked great all week.
