If you used to have a card then you get one years after it expired, does that make you eligible for new patient discounts

No

These are the discoints available from day 1. Once in your life....15% off your purchase. Once a year and every year after renewal....l $75 off of $150 or more purchase. Waiting for your licence to expire will not make you anymore eligible for discounts. Trulieve keeps track!

As long as your card is current with a current expiration date you should be fine. If the card is valid then the person checking you in will be able to find you in the system.
