I ordered our tickets (5 day base) using Airmiles. They came within a few days of purchase. We got actual tickets that we used for the whole trip. After using them for a day, we decided we wanted to add the hopper and the waterparks and more option. I just took them to a regular ticket booth and they did it very easily-no questions asked. It was worth it! Not sure I would add the no expiry option though. Good luck!
