I pre-bought a Photopass CD in June, before the price increase. Our trip is in a couple of weeks. I will be able to post if there are any problems with it then.
Before I bought it, I called the Photopass customer service. Here is what I posted in June after that call:
I also received an email in response to an email that I sent asking the same question. It gave me the same answer that I got when I called customer service.
I felt safe enough to spend the money since I got the same answer from 2 sources at the company, one being in typed form.
