No, she's definitely going to move in with the fairy and her reindeer.

SubaruStephen:
What’s a laundry card? Every apartment I’ve lived in with communal washer/dryers were coin operated.

Is the card for accessing the wash room, or have all the machines sprouted credit card readers?

Tova:
My guess is that it's some kind of a stored-value card.

You would presumably use a separate vending machine to load value into it, either using cash or a credit card. The laundry machine and dryer would then deduct the appropriate amount whenever you use the card to do your laundry.

Saves you from having to carry exact change or a credit card. And the laundry machines don't need to access the credit card network.

Also, from the landlord's perspective,  any coin operated machine WILL be broken into sooner or later and the contents of the coin box stolen.  Then the machine is out of service and isn't making any money until it's repaired - and that's an additional expense.  The cost of a card reader system starts looking pretty reasonable.  No cash in the laundry room make it safer for your tenants, too.
