The last 2 times I stayed there (June and October 2023) - I thought the safe didn’t work. I entered a pin like I had in the past but would always get an error code - never called about it not working but I did see where there a request for a cc, but wasn’t interested enough to try to pay for it so I didn’t use it.

Just got back from a great week at AoA. Maybe I missed this, but when did they start charging you to use the in-room safe?

Returned yesterday from a stay in a Finding Nemo suite, used the safe, and did not pay for it. It was a normal, 4-digit code type of hotel safe.

We were in a Cars suite and the pin pad mechanism even had a credit card stripe reader built in. I just assumed it was going to charge me something to create a pin, but didn't give it a try.

UPDATE: I called Guest Services and they confirmed that some rooms have an option to use a credit card in lieu of a regular PIN code for the safe. So @bluezy was correct. If I had spent more than 30 seconds looking at it, I probably would have figured that out.
