How to use your card

How to properly use the Maui Resident Card to get the best results.

The two most important words are, be consistent!

When you walk into any establishment throughout the State of Hawaii, the first thing you need to do upon meeting a sales person in any establishment, is ask the following question:

"Do you offer a Kamaaina Discount?"

When you ask this question you are alerting the sales person to one fact. That you know that your friends may not have paid as much for a particular item as you may pay.

This, so to speak, places you and the sales person on the same page. In all fairness, you cannot ask the question after the sale has been made.

If the sales person says "yes, we offer a 10% or 20% Kamaaina discount", Everybody wins! If they say, sorry we don't offer any discounts, nothing has been lost and in the case of very expensive establishments or restaurants, you can then make an informed decision as to whether you want to stay there or seek another restaurant that offers Kamaaina discounts or lower prices.

Remember!

Very few establishments throughout the State of Hawaii have signs in their places of business that say, " ask us about our fabulous Kamaaina discounts". This just doesn't happen. Don't be reluctant or embarrassed to ask....most people who have lived here understand this, and do ask. It's fun, can be very rewarding, and those 10%, 20% discounts, or more, really add up!

And Finally... A few words about Hawaii driver licenses

We stress the fact that if anyone tells you that you must have a Hawaii Drivers License to get the Kamaaina rate, inform the sales person about the Hawaii drivers license law. Learn about what not to do to avoid possible consequences of switching your mainland drivers license to a Hawaii drivers license.
