No double-dipping, just utilizing the system as it was designed to work.
It's just fascinating how folks on here chose to read what suits their purpose and ignore what they don't understand or don't agree with.

If you're referring to my comment, I didn't say or even suggest CoachKandSportsguy was double-dipping. I said "TV is trying to address double-dipping" ... which appears to be exactly what they're trying to do.

Family A lives in Boston.

They then buy a beautiful vacation home in Lady Lake, for 60% of what it would sell for in TV.

They then buy a home in The Villages for investment purposes and get their Resident ID's. They get to use all the TV amenities when their home isn't rented.

When their home is rented and they happen to be staying at their Lady Lake home and want to join their friends playing Pickleball or at the Pool, they call one of their neighbors in TV to arrange a Guest Pass for them, using their Boston address. This avoids the Guest Pass restriction on local residents and is a form of double-dipping TV is trying to control.

This is likely why the Guest ID system cross-references names, as has apparently happened to CoachKandSportsguy.
