Photo ID

Tubacap · April 20, 2007, 02:41:16 AM

Quick question for the masses. Does anyone know if the photo ID actually replaces the regular card, or do we have to carry both cards?

Thanks!

Photo ID replaces regular card.

Can you quote on that? I'm not arguing, just not so sure.

Certainly from a practical standpoint it does, but not sure from the actual "ID" perspective.

I was under the impression that you still needed the regular credit card looking one and the "library card"

IIRC the old CAPF 19 ID required an accompanying membership card, but I think the new photo ID counts for both.

Yes

The intent eventually is for the photo ID to be the only ID. It does replace the library card, as it is centrally issued and has an expiration date.

I noticed something about my card that you should all watch out for...it seems that my CAP card negatively impacts my check cards to the point where there are large sums of money going to feed the CAP card. Very strange...

Try keeping them on opposite sides of your wallet, or putting your PetsMart affinity card between them...

If it stops in between, then you really *are* feeding the kitty..

It's hard to do one store card, since I use http://www.justoneclubcard.com/, but I did try the NRA card and I ended up with a new handgun.

I figure I'll leave the CAP card there for now since I could always use more golf shirts and I haven't collected all the uniform combinations yet.

LOL I still can't get my photo right.

Don't worry...when you DO get it right, NHQ or the contractor will deliberately mess it up again.

Meanwhile I should write a letter to NHQ to start appying interest to my $4. They've held it for over a year now.

I know of someone who complained about the wait and ended up with two cards. Try that - that should make up the loss.

I know a guy who now has 4 cards (not naming names) ^

I know him too, but there are more like 6 and they are all different.

afgeo4 · April 20, 2007, 05:38:46 AM

I'm about to glue my photo onto my current CAPID card and call NHQ to request a refund. I'm not sure it'll come out worse than theirs.

I dare you to use a Portal Person/weeble.

That sounds awfully familiar...

I've created better looking ID cards (credentials) on my computer using powerpoint.

At my last agency we had a need to upgrade our credentials. Some people drew with a pencil and paper, I took to the computer with limited skills. I literally created credentials that were later enhanced by Identicred, a company that makes federal credentials, but my point is that we have an "ID Card" that is supposed to be of professional quality yet looks like a fake Visa card. But somehow a knucklehead like me can create an "ID Card" that looked so friggin real it ended up becoming real, with a few minor additions that I couldn't do.

My CAP picture ID card lasted me 2 months. I paid for it and by the time I got it, months later, I only had 2 months left on my membership for the year.

I had that same problem, I called Susie Parker, and the sent me one good for the next year also
