Gate Cards
 

I would like to purchase additional gate cards so we can keep one in each car and each golf cart.

Will they allow more than 2 or do they only allow replacement of lost cards?

Where would I go to purchase?

Thanks!

Yes, you can purchase additional gate cards. Go to 984 Old Mill Run (Lake Sumter Landing). The entrance is in the vestibule beside Starbucks. They're $15

It is my understanding the latest version of gate cards have an improved antenna.:thumbup:

I think that's correct. They called and asked us to return our old gate cards and substituted new ones.

How odd...
 

neither us or any of our friends ever received a phone call with such an offer...

I have one of two cards that quit working, will they replace that for free or do I have to pay the $15.

I believe they come in pairs......since the cards are coded and are cataloged to your residence. When they cancel the one that failed in the system it also cancels all other cards assigned to that residence. That means you will get a free one for the one that failed but will have to buy the second one and third and fourth. We did the same thing about 6 months ago. However, that was 6 months or so ago, things might have changed. Best is to call the District Office.

Thanks for the info. I really only need one for our car, so I'll wait until I lose remaining card or it quits working. :-)

Bring your registration. I had three cars, had to show that before they would give me another gate pass.

What if you have two cars, a motorcycle and two Golf carts, can you get 5 cards?

Gate Card Services

When replacing gate cards, the homeowner should bring all remaining gate cards as they are issued in sets of two. Lost or stolen gate cards will be replaced at a $15.00 charge per card. Homeowners can also purchase additional gate cards for a $15.00 charge. A total of four gate cards can be issued per home. The payment types accepted are Cash, Check, MasterCard, Visa, and Discover.

If the homeowner can not be present to replace a lost card or to purchase an additional card, the homeowner must complete the Gate Card Authorization form and have it notarized.

New cards are exactly same as old cards
 

I just talked to gate card services and they stated that there is no improvement in the gate cards, a ten year old card is the exact same as a one day old card. There is no improvement in range.

One does not need a gate card unless you are exiting / entering at the Berlin Wall on the historic side. Go to visitors entrance and push red button. I never carry one on the golf cart - too easy to get stolen. An aside rumor mill says stolen cards were being sold to enter the Berlin Wall after outsiders were shutout for $50. I've played every executive and championship golf course in The Villages and did not need a card to get there.
