I do it all the time with my Subway card.
When I tried to get a NYRA card - I was originally rejected.
However, I had a friend who knows a few people at NYRA and he made a few calls and told me the situation was taken care of - and as long as I went to see so and so I was gold.
As it turned out - I ended up in some office hidden away in the back of the Saratoga grandstand - with a detective examining my social security card with a magnifying glass.
Turns out - someone with a crazy mexican name already had a NYRA card using my social security number - and since I put down the wrong phone number (I don't want those jackasses calling me) they assumed I was trying to steal the identity of some beaner.
