AJWhite1970 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 I like a few on here always like to carry two badges, one being my real one for stuff I'm interested in and one for the wand warriors who leap out at you from all angles as you walk round.. However, is it just me or is this not possible this year as the badges have to be sent to a real email address? I could easily setup a throwaway account but before I do that am I missing a trick? Andrew

Andrew You only have one email address? Haven't you created a special ajwhite.bett email account yet that you can bin after the show?
AJWhite1970 Posted January 13, 2017 Author Posted January 13, 2017 You only have one email address? Haven't you created a special ajwhite.bett email account yet that you can bin after the show? Yup, I only have one email address, I like to use an email account I administer myself. The problem with setting an alias address on the school account is that some then send to admin@ the same domain when it bounces back... Just created a throwaway mail.com account. Mildly annoying but I'll kill it as soon as the badge arrives....
Ex-MGSTech Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 just colour in some of the stripes on the QR code and barcode on one side of your badge, hey presto no more drive by scanning NB only do one side, you'll need the other to get in! Steve
RichCowell Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 I just use an email forwarder on my own domain redirected to my normal account to receive the badge, then deleted for things like that... works perfectly...
timbo343 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Ive got my 2 badges now. I just added a [email protected] to my mailbox and deleted once i had the badge. I created the fake one first. Could we stick a fake badge up on here for people to use. All they have to do ia change the details on the ticket.
Willott Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Is it just me that sticks the badge in my pocket after I'm scanned in, then only show it to those I want to receive info from?
snagrat Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 What do you do if you have registered but not go the badge through yet? Is there a way to get it resent?
timbo343 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 What do you do if you have registered but not go the badge through yet? Is there a way to get it resent? You keep registering. It took me 3 attempts to get my badge.
dry Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Yopmail.com for any future throwaway requirements! No need to pre-register an address either, so if you're ever put on the spot, makeupanaddress@ yopmail .com and if you later think you'd like to read the email they've sent you, you can! (for 8 days)
mikeprice Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 I still have the email address from last year I kept it so I could identify and drive by scanners etc - no-one seemed to misbehave actually
Zoom7000 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 What do you do if you have registered but not go the badge through yet? Is there a way to get it resent? Worst case scenario, get it printed at any of the entrances. 1
elsiegee40 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Worst case scenario, get it printed at any of the entrances. This. There are plenty of opportunities to get your badge printed when you arrive
