We renewed our passes on Saturday and now our passes are different. All the old information is off of it. It doesn't tell you what kind of pass it is, when it expires or if it has Parking. CM told us we will be able to use this pass from now on if we renew. All the info is on the account and they will know what kind of pass it is, when it expires and if you have parking.
The only way you can tell that yours is premium is because of the "D", the other passes don't have that. Also, if you don't bring it with you when you go to renew, it's an extra 20 dollars - MEHlanie_Mouse

Why not include the information? It was kind of convenient... - JRDrummer_CM

Because then they'd still have to issue a new card each time. I have no doubt this is an effort to conserve. - aidensmama 336.5 #445 3:24PM
To save plastic? Now you can keep the same pass for as long as you do not lose it. - GrumpyPirateDad 500.4 #239 3:28PM
thanks for the update! I heard they were going to do this, but wasn't sure how it would work. I wonder if they will make you update your picture each year? - Sarafina

I'm sure they won't MAKE you. However if you do not resemble yourself they may ask for identification or, as is in my case, just poke fun at ya... In a magical way of course. - GrumpyPirateDad 500.4 #239 3:39PM
No more photos. They stopped that on our last pass - mlatour 278.9 #741 3:39PM
@mlatour, I thought you still had to take one and that's what came up on their screen when your card is scanned. I don't think I mind updating once in a while, but maybe every other year? - Sarafina 398.6 #335 3:48PM
Haven't updated my photo in over 5 years. My daughters like to update theirs every year. They told us the photo update was optional. - mlatour 278.9 #741 3:54PM
Strange because I was told that I had to take a new picture back in late September. Two weeks ago when my boyfriend finally renewed his AP he was also told to get a new picture. - KermitFan13 407.6 #321 4:21PM
Our picture transferred over with no problems. - Sandcar13 1329.7 #60 5:02PM
It was so weird when I got a new card and all the info was gone. But now I'm used to it. Some CMs were not and didn't give me the correct discount. However, it now seems that more of theme now the change and have adjusted accordingly. - LilSterner

CMs not giving proper discounts to Premium passholders is exactly what I was fearing when this was mentioned a few months ago. That's going to get on my nerves if that keeps happening, hahaha - Jacqueline 546.7 #205 4:30PM
It only happened a couple of times. Now that these cards are becoming more frequent it hasn't been an issue. I always double check just to make sure. - LilSterner 2656.0 #17 5:15PM
This first started back in November and its finally being in effect. The D symbolizes Premium - BaseballMickey_CM

It also saves on the amount of plastic being used - BaseballMickey_CM 2851.3 #15 3:41PM
So what if a few years from now my AP is tattered and I need to get a new one. Will they charge me the $20 fee for a new one? - Sandcar13 1329.7 #60 5:03PM
No wonder! My son and husband got annual passes yesterday and my daughter said they looked different than ours (we got ours last March) but I didn't pay attention till now. I had noticed the names were bigger but not the rest. I like the idea of not having to get a new pass every year. Too bad we still have to this time though. Thanks for the info :-) - MrsTinkPan

How often will we be allowed to get replacement cards? - letsrckthis
161.5 #2129 5:31PM
however many times you'd be willing to pay for one, I think - MEHlanie_Mouse 690.9 #146 6:15PM
Even if they need to be replaced because of wear? - letsrckthis 161.5 #2129 7:32PM
maybe they'll give you a freebie? But it seems like they really want you to take care of this new card.. lol - MEHlanie_Mouse 690.9 #146 7:57PM
Mine started showing wear after six days. Sometimes it won't scan at food places and they have to manually put the numbers in. 😳 - letsrckthis 161.5 #2129 9:05PM
We got passes again on Thursday and ours still look like the old ones. With the exp date and P on the back hmmmmmm - Sharkbaitsmomma
