I can confirm that the WTBTS has indeed used credit card terminals at district conventions in Europe. In 2006 when I was a "special delgate™" to the Hamburg, Germany convention that there were credit card terminals. They had brothers and sisters manning them at vendor carts throughout the stadium just as they would man contribution boxes...I guess the exception was that they were there to help answer questions about running the card...they are just like the ones when you go to the grocery or restaraunt.... I think they keyed in the amount..you swiped the card and pin number..and then I don't remember if you had to sign a receipt or what..
...they didn't get my number...
so just add it to the list of ways (EFT transactions that you can AutoDebit every month your donation directly to the Society.) that they are grabbing money... (come on WTWizard...I know you got something here. .I am handing it to you on a platter... Bank of Watchtower, Russell State Bank and Mistrust, Pennsylvania Slavings and Loan......)
The only reason you won't ever see credit card readers in the Kingdom Hall is because the monthly fee and per transaction fee is too high for the low volume that they would do locally. But don't think that they won't make it so you can donate by autodebit locally too...
