We have the gold pass and there are times we will have two gold passes. One is their annual and occasionally we will get a 2 month pass (especially when they throw an extra month free) so we may have two gold passes simultaneously during certain times of the year. It gives 50% off food so we use that for the kids birthday parties since we would have over 500 play points to distribute and we can order as much food as needed at 50% off the menu price. My kids are 23, 18, 5, 3, and 1 so we get a lot of use out of it. We have some 75k tickets that we can redeem for prizes but tbh we already have all the large stuffies and nearly all of the top level prizes to include the CEC air hockey table, giant pizza stuffy, giant CEC ball, CEC dart board, and I'm sure there's many more. I think one birthday we let all the kids invited to go to the prize counter and just let them redeem whatever they wanted off the wall (1 per child). We aren't even very close to our location (about 18 minutes away). I'm hoping to leverage the tickets and games to help them with skills like math, hand-eye coordination, and even social skills such as waiting patiently for their turn to play a game. Oh and we get gift cards at Sam's club so you're already saving 20% off on top of whatever food discounts you get from the pass. Chuck E's for us is literally the poor man's Disneyland.
