Can I reactivate older magicbands?

[eeyoresmom]

I have several magicbands, some are under a year old ,and would like to use them for our trip next week. When I checked my profile on MDE, the only band showing as active is the one I was just sent. I didn't deactivate them myself....Is there a way to reactivate myself? TIA

If you didn't deactivate them then they should all still be active. They can't be put onto another account..but if you're putting back on your account just type in the code on the underside of the band and it'll be active. You can have a bunch active at the same time

Ok, so I just tried this. When I type the band ID into the box on MDE it says "this is already linked to an account" but when I check "my magic bands" only the newest one they sent me is there. Can I ask them to link it at check-in?

Yes. We have done that a couple of times.

Do you or someone in your party have another account under a different email? This happened to me last weekend. My wife's old magic bands weren't showing up and when I tried to re-link them, it said they were already linked to another. It turns out my new account (under a completely different Email and slightly different names) had SUCKED HER OLD MAGIC BANDS RIGHT INTO OUR NEW ONE! Just hers, not anyone else's. Of course, all Disney would offer to do was link the two accounts---which sounds like what you want anyway.

No. No other account that I know of but with all the bugs with MDE I wouldn't be surprised.
