If you get a parking permit and your plans change, is there any way to get a refund?

there is but as [member=2173]Louie_rob_m[/member] said, if you've got underground or Hilton parking, you should have NO problem finding someone to take it off your hands on this site- we have a lot of locals/commuters here.

"You can sign-up two times per valid credit card using the same or different email addresses"

^from Ace's website.   Although SDCC blog is normally reliable,  I would take direction from the source

I'm not reading it the same way, to me it seems like the credit card is the unique factor. e.g. 1 credit card = 2 entries.  The 2 entries can be dealer's choice, same/different accts, email addys, etc.

What they are not saying is what happens if you overdo it.  does the system stop counting after the first 2? flag them all and throw them out? do nothing?  does it matter?  would love to know!

[member=2173]Louie_rob_m[/member] You just get an automated message saying you've already used that card or email twice. I got it bc Chrome accidentally autofilled my default card once when I was trying to input a different one.

Well, then, back to two entries, same as last year (and I got a Group 3 last year out of two entries).

If we are lucky enough to get chosen in the lottery, can we switch cards when we actually pay for the parking?
Yes, you can charge a different card when you pay for the parking.

I'm confused on this -- it says in their FAQ:

Quote
Q: Can I register multiple times for the lottery?
A: Yes and no, the system will accept your entries, but the drawing will be restricted to one entry per email address.

But it also says you can use the "same or different emails" with a card.

Don't those two things contradict each other? Or am I reading it wrong?

I've wondered the same thing.

I think they're trying to say that the system will accept multiple entries from the same email but when it comes to drawing that email only counts for one no matter how many times you enter with it. You can enter multiple emails for multiple entries however.

Ah...thanks. I think I'm getting it. They are just saying that a single email can only win the drawing once. Totally confused me.

Yes, I was trying to pair my credit/debit card with specific emails but accidentally used one card across two emails so instead of a hoped for 6 entries total it only came out to 5. Ah well. At least the paring of car and email cuts down on the the spoof emails that were used tom enter the first couple of years.

For those of us who are newbees to the SDCC and SD generally, any tips as to what lots are better than others?  I hate traffic.  So easy in and out would be ideal.  I'm staying in the Mission Valley area.  Thanks.
