The times we used it, we had to register it at check in. The first time we stayed on property we got all of our magic bands and associated the card at that time. The next time we stayed we used DVC points and they sent us new magic bands. We were told that charging and room keys would be off of the new ones and that our tickets would be on the old ones unless we wanted to go through and connect the new ones.
This could all very well change in the future no doubt though.
Yes, I believe it will all change once all people are on the MM+ system. I think in the future the website will allow you to connect a credit card to your band. Which is why I said to him that everything is way too far out to tell what will and will not work. Also, since he is using his 14 days all in a row and not going to a different Disney place months later, it might also work different. In that he will continue to be able to use that band with the credit card already on there. I also think already you can link multiple reservations to one band, so your experience might have already changed.
They have started Passholder testing, but I don't know of anyone selected yet to participant. I keep crossing my fingers a band will arrive in my mailbox one day or I get an e-mail I probably won't be so lucky, but you would think they would pick people that go a lot and I do go a lot.
