RE: Debit card use in Coca-Cola vending machines

We have received the attached notification from Coca-Cola. Beginning October 1, 2011, Visa and Mastercard debit and prepaid cards will no longer be accepted in vending machines. Credit Cards will continue to be accepted. Next week, the attached label will be placed on all Coca-Cola vending machines that have Credit Card readers.

Please forward this notice to everyone in your building before Saturday, October 1, 2011.  

I apologize for any inconvenience this causes. We will continue to work with Coca-Cola to see if a viable solution can be found. If you have any questions regarding this notification, please contact me directly.
