I don't like my OnePass Number

I don't like my OnePass Number. Anyone called in and gotten to pick a new one, or at least get a new random one?

Or should I just get over it?

What could possibly be "wrong" with a OnePass number?

This might need to be added to the thread of the least substantive things people can complain about.

Don't be ridiculous. Unless it has a 666 in it, get on with your day.

I don't care for mine either. I'm sure one of the New Management persons will help us sort this out. Now would be the time, since my CO one pass account is empty. How about BUY your new Acct #? This will get Jeff's attention.

I'd pay for a new id. I need a good number of my choice to support my new "United Image".

If it means that much to you, convert the number to Base 8 (octal format). That way you'll still have the same number, but represented by different digits.

Then just convert it back to Base 10 (decimal format) when you need to.

Now that would be kinda cool - kinda like personalized license plates.

I'd be up for it...

Losing the MP numbers is really a shame. My mom's, dad's, my brother's and my numbers are all sequential...REALLY easy for keeping track of everyone's stuff, now we've got FRs and GDs and LQs with numbers that make no sense.

Nothing prevents you from opening a new OnePass account, using it heavily, and trying to cajole an agent into merging your two accounts into your newer one.

My One pass number sounds like a sexual proposition when I say it. I thought of exciting possibilities when I first received it. I have never been asked to recite it to a perfect ten. Oh, well.

Even it if does, just stop being superstitious and it's no problem.

Hmm, that's interesting. I'd never really looked at it this way before, but my OP# is slightly suggestive. Not like you're implying, but it starts with "UR", which is sort of promising in case I need to scream insults at the phone agent.

Unfortunately, the rest is just numbers, so I'm gonna have to think hard to come up with a suggestive interpretation...
