As each chip contains a unique ID number, the bands are impossible to duplicate.

EVEN™ Hotels guests receive an RFID room keycard, and for $8, may purchase a waterproof Smart Band® with a securely sealed RFID chip inside that stores and verifies guest data when scanned by a reader.

In 2014 EVEN Hotels began a launch of RFID bands to secure guest information. The trial began giving customers the option to keep these when departing. In the hotel industry, getting rid of old systems like key cards for rooms, eliminates so many problems. One of the many benefits is less complaints about room keys not working properly. However, the guest is free to use this band wherever they are on site. After reading this it was clear that there was not a security issue with these bands, as they are personalized for the guest. The only negative I see with the bands is if the tech behind it is sustainable enough to be consistent during busy seasons.
