If you have any weekly passes that you would like to have credited towards a season pass here is what you will have to do to get it.
-You may trade in your old $20 weekly passes from this season (passes purchased BEFORE November 21, 2007) as credit towards a new 07/08 season pass.
-You can only do this through the BLM in person at the Barstow Field Office, by mail, or at the entrance to Dumont Dunes (when BLM staff is there on duty). Off-site vendors can not trade weekly passes for annual passes.
-There will be BLM staff at the entrance to Dumont Dunes on the weekends from Friday-Monday to sell passes.
-The BLM will have the annual passes for sale and will take your old weekly passes for credit at that time towards an annual pass.
-Annual pass upgrades must be completed prior to December 31, 2007.
-Only one pass for each week can be applied towards an annual pass. That is because if you had 2 passes for the same week, you entered with two primary vehicles, so you would have needed 2 annual passes if you were entering with annual passes.
-Turning in of weekly passes towards the purchase of an annual pass ends December 31, 1007.
-Thanksgiving Weekly Passes are $40. If a person purchased a pass for $20, it was sold in error and is not valid. These passes may be turned in for a valid pass with an additional $20.
-If someone is trading in a Thanksgiving $40 pass for an annual pass, $30 can count towards the base pass and $10 towards the holiday extra fee. There should be very few Thanksgiving annual passes to trade in, and only those purchased at a vendor (not on-site) can be traded in. Officially the passes purchased prior to thanksgiving can be traded in and not those purchased for or after Thanksgiving. However, as some passes were sold in error, this rule has been made to address those situations.
-There is a MAXIMUM of $90 (from weekly passes) that can be applied to an annual pass purchase.
Hopefully this clears up any confusion.
