What we expect from KampSight and Card Processing for the Labor Day Weekend

 


By Kyle Brucker, AVP, Information Services

The busy Labor Day weekend has finally arrived!  The Friday of Labor Day weekend is traditionally among the top 5 check-in days of the year.  (In fact, it was the biggest check-in day in 2009.)

Friday, July 2nd this year was the busiest check-in day in KOA history, exceeding last year’s Labor Day Friday by over 300 check-ins!  And while you may have noticed a slight slowdown in card processing in the afternoon on that July 2nd, KampSight performed very well.  There were no credit card errors or KampSight server issues to report.

If advanced reservations are an indicator, we can expect this Friday to be similar to July 2nd.   We expect similar or better performance from KampSight this weekend.  Our summer development and testing has been focused on making sure you have a successful Labor Day weekend!

As a reminder, our “equalizer” program is still in place to ensure a smooth flow of card processing.  As a result, you may see this message:


Credit Card Line is Busy

Please Choose one of the following

  1. Wait for 15 seconds and try again.
  2. Return to the payment screen for a different payment method

Type Selection, 1 then press enter

 

Most of you will never see this message, but it’s important to make your staff aware of the possibility.

KampSight Support has added support hours for this Sunday so there is support coverage every day.  KampSight’s support hours for this weekend are:

Friday, September 3

7:00am – 7:00pm  MDT

Saturday, September 4

10:00am – 7:00pm MDT

Sunday, September 5

Have a wonderful, busy weekend and know we’re here for you!  Go KOA!
