2) Paying for Prints at the WEPA Kiosk with a Credit Card

When printing directly from a USB drive at the WEPA kiosk, you have the option of paying for your prints by swiping a credit card without logging into or even creating a WEPA account. However, there is a $0.20 surcharge per print job when you pay for your prints by swiping a credit card at the WEPA kiosk. You can avoid this surcharge by paying from your WEPA account. You can even add value to your WEPA account by swiping a credit card at the WEPA kiosk, and there is no surcharge for doing this.
