Someone Else Using Old Magic Bands for New Trip

[StitchInCT]

My family and I are staying off property and we're buying our tickets through Undercover Tourist for the Disney theme parks.
I have a friend who received two sets of Magic Bands for their vacation last year. She is a Disney time share owner for on property resorts. She was able to use her points for her room for 6 days but had to pay "out of pocket" for her last night in a regular room. So she received 2 sets of Magic Bands for her trip. She called Disney about it and they were told they could use the first set of Magic Bands with no problem. So, she has this extra set they never used.
My question is, can she give those unused Magic Bands to my family and I and can we then link them to our tickets.

Thank you for your time and any information you can give me!

Nope. They are linked to her reservation. We have old magic bands and they are linked to our current reservation. If one of you use them, then the other cannot get into the parks. The bands will have separate numbers but linked as one reservation.

You can use YOUR old magic bands but they can't be transferred to someone else. They are permanently linked to the original person's account.

If you look at the back of the magic band you will see the persons name printed on it...that is the only person who can use the magic band. The MB can only be linked to that persons MDE account plus to use it, you would have to know that persons 4 digit passcode and you could not use it for park access since your finger prints will not match up.

I've lost count of how many MB's I have...a drawer full of them...and they all still work, but only for me.
