Ok, we all now that CM's in the booth entrance usually don't ask for Ids when you use your Annual Pass.

So have you ever loaned your annual pass to your : Cousin? Brother? Friend? :confused:

They do look at the picture on it so you might want to make sure the person looks like you otherwise I think they will blacklist you.

well... it's not really a loaning story, but once my pass somehow got left behind, and i got in using my moms...

I haven't loaned it, and there isn't anyone who looks like me who'd be able to use it anyhow! Plus, if they are ever in doubt, they could probably ask to see another form of ID. And no, I wouldn't either.

Nope, never loaned it, nor would I want to ruin my chances of ever getting in again.
They ALWAYS check my picture, and with my parking pass, they ALWAYS check that I am in the car, if I am not driving.
Somehow, I think it would be hard to do, unless it were an identical twin.

I have always had a CM look at my picture and then look at me and greet me by my name on my pass. If I've worn a hat, sometimes they will make it obvious to check my face. I like that. Shows they're doing their job.

The CM at the turnstyles always look real good at my pic on my AP and then me. If they did not match, you could have your AP revoked since they specifically say it is non-transferable. So I would not even risk letting someone else use it.

A friend and I (both passholders) were there last week Christmas shopping, and she drove. We used my pass to get into the parking structure, and the CM very visibly bent down to look at me in the passenger seat, and held my pass up for comparison.

My little girl and I have the same name, and it's a very unusual spelling -- notable because it has an apostrophe in it. The gate CMs not only greet us by name each time we go, but they always double-check when they see they've had two people come through in a row with the same name.

They're very careful! (And that is as it should be...dontcha think?)

Nope I would not do that because that is stealing. I am not perfect in anyway what so ever but stealing is low in my books!!!! I think it is just as bad to shop lift.

We went on a blockout date and when we got to the ticket booths to purchase the $30 tickets she realized she forgot her pass. Luckily, my other cousin keeps his girlfriends pass since she only goes with him. So we gave them the passes all at once to try to get by and it seemed to work. But then the CM started to ask us our names so she could type them onto the ticket. Problem, borrowed pass belonged my cousin's Thai girlfriend so her last name was like 11 or 12 letters long and incredibly hard to pronounce. When it was her turn to give her name she froze when trying to pronouce the last name. We got in though, by passing her off as foreigner who didn't understand or speak english. That was a CLOSE one.

I have never lent my pass either, though I have a sister who could totally get away with using it since we look so much alike. Last may we were behind a group of 7 or 8 teenage boys and the first three went in just fine and then the line stopped for a few minutes. A security guard came over with a CM with a walkie talkie. The CM at the gate spoke quietly to the security guard and other CM and the boys (even the three that had already gone through the gate) were escorted away. They had somehow slipped an already used AP back through the gate to one of boys in the back of the group. I guess they hoped that the CM wouldn't notice that the AP had just been scanned. But it seemed like a super dumb move to me!

No I haven't and no I wouldn't. For a while my pass photo did not match how I looked. I gained quite a bit of weight in the 6 years since I'd gotten my pass and constantly renewed by mail. Last year every time I went through the turnstyles I had to show another ID to prove I was me. After the 3rd week of going through that I asked Guest Services if I could retake my photo because I obviously did not look like me. They reprinted a temporary pass and I took a new photo to alleviate the situation. The fine print on the pass says it's non-transferrable and can be revoked if misused.

My friend and I both had annual passes when they had the 40th Anniversary and the trading card giveaway. We look fairly alike, so one weekend I went down there and he couldn't go. So I took his pass with me. I went in using his pass, got the certificate to get the card. Then I went out the Exit and came back in using my pass, so I could get both of us the card. So it wasn't exactly borrowing his pass to get me in, since I had one of my own, but I was able to get him the card for the day.
