ALL LOCKBOXES MUST BE EXCHANGED BY JANUARY 16, 2009. All Supra equipment (including keys and cradles) should also be returned to GCAAR by this date. Your Supra key will not work after January 16, 2009. The Supra system will be turned off.
New SentriCard (this is the new lockbox “key”):
When you come to GCAAR to get a new SentriCard, you will need to pay your annual SentriLock System Fee of $135 plus tax. GCAAR staff will issue you a new SentriCard and a new card reader (which will be used to update your SentriCard on a daily basis.)
Exchanging lockboxes:
If you have Supra boxes to exchange at GCAAR, they will be exchanged on a one-for-one basis through January 16, 2009. We are accepting the gray AEII boxes as well as the blue iBoxes as part of our exchange program (SUPRA boxes must be properly registered in the GCAAR lockbox inventory to qualify for the exchange.) If you attended the conversion but have additional lockboxes to exchange, you can bring them to GCAAR during the time frames mentioned above.
If you need to buy additional lockboxes:
If you attended the conversion but need additional lockboxes, they are available at GCAAR. The cost is $100 plus tax. You MUST have your SentriCard WITH YOU to purchase lockboxes. A member takes ownership of a box by inserting his or her SentriCard into the box. To avoid possible ownership problems, you must have your SentriCard with you to take ownership of the box at the time it is purchased.
