I am sure that keeping this promo code and many others active and easily accessible to all of the public is not an issue for Sea World because they are not nearly as large or as crowded as, say, Disney and I imagine with such competition, they are glad you chose to go to SW and spend your $$ there, even if you were savvy enough to get a discount on your admission. I think it is safe to say that SW is aware that many non-PepsiCo employees regularly use this discount code and if it were a problem, they would verify employment. Like previous posters have noted, the tickets do not indicate which discount was used or state that any company ID is required and that could be easily rectified if it were a problem. If you feel that using a discount code compromises your ethics, then don't use it - or use any of the other promo codes, like the SouthWest Airlines Rapid Rewards 20% discount. (just sign up for this free public program online and print your "member card" and use that info to purchase your tix.) Tho from your other posts you state that you are a Passholder, so not sure what the confusion is about anyway, unless you "didn't want to start an ethics debate", but just wanted to express your "ethical concerns" to the rest of us.
It does makes sense for SW to offer these discount/promo codes (and there are many offers out there) to entice people to go there instead of the many, many other choices in the area. Me getting a discount isn't taking it away from anyone else and it's not taking the food out of Shamu's mouth, so I would encourage people to save the $$ on the admission price and spend it on a nice dining experience in the park or have a little extra $$ for the souveniers you might not otherwise buy. Either way, SW gets my $$ and this way, I'm a lot happier and can't wait to return!
