Can you reuse an old photo pass card?

When we went to Typhoon Lagoon last year they gave us the smaller photo pass card tied to a rubber band you can wear around your wrist or tie to your backpack. Can I reuse that for my next trip? Easier then having to find and pull out the regular card every time.

Apparently you can - I also have one of those and loved it, but I ended up not using it last trip. A PP photographer saw it on the strap of my bag and asked why I hadn't used the little one and I told him I didn't know if I could as it was over a year old and had had pics on it on a previous trip. He said you can but I would want to hear from someone who has done it before I tried. They have any photographers at the waterparks when we went in October for some reason so there was no opportunity to see if they were still handing them out.

I've used old cards on several trips without any problems. Heck, last year they had a deal where you got a free picture Photopass card with the prepurchase of the Photopass CD. So I plan to use that photo Photopass card until it stops working! LOL

I have done it a few time. The big advantage is that the card is already linked to your PhotoPass account so your pictures start showing up on your account and you don't have to worry about losing the number.

Perhaps someone who did this can confirm or not - but someone (I think it was Brad from Stitchkingdom, but not sure) said if you used an old card that was already attached to your account though, you lose the 30 day window to claim your photos. So in effect, you are taking a potentially 60 day window (30 days to claim + 30 days to edit) and shrinking it down to only 30 days to edit, since the photos are instantly claimed. And someone above mentioned about them being in your account right away, so I assume that's true.

So that might not work out for some people. If you had a 10 day trip, by the time you arrived home, your would only have 20 days to edit and order your first day photos before they expired.

So anyway, that's the reason I never reused old cards even though I have a bunch including the small one from the Fairy greet.

Yes, you can. The card does not expire, just the photos on their site.
