Membership Card Options

I see we will have the option to chose whether to receive a membership card or go electronic and use the App card. I am quite happy to try this with the proviso an explanation is offered on how membership will be checked in the event this cannot be shown. I am guessing it would be the same as for forgetting or cannot find your card when arriving at a site which I have never done and thus I am unaware of the procedure. However the chances of not being able to show a card are far higher with the electronic version and there is no point in printing it off because the valid to date is not shown.

Not sure how this e-card works. My card is both versions at the minute. 1 One is in my club profile and 2 the other lives in the car ashtray. No. 1 needs internet to load the website. No. 2 is always to hand.

So with that I go along with your thoughts on how workable is No. 1 

My vote would always go for No.2

I have just had the email asking me if I want not to have a card. I already have the electronic version on my phone but prefer the card as it's in the same place as the card I use to pay. As Harry suggests I am pretty sure you would need an internet connection to show it on your phone. Could be difficult at places like Clumber Park?

Due to tracking and security issues I keep my apps to an absolute minimum. 

My choice will be card

Well yet again no email received but we've all got a digital membership card on our profiles so the app isn't necessary (although I think a paper card is!)

You could do the same using Apple and Google's wallet.

If there is a phone signal, what I find fiddly is having to log onto the App to bring up membership. There should be some way of saving the card on your phone, perhaps in Apple or Google wallets. If you can do that, the electronic card will have to show the date the card is valid to.

I used the membership card on my phone for the first time on our recent trip but it will be back to the plastic one for me likewise mine is also next to my payment card so why mess about with a phone and a wallet

The electronic card does not need to show a "Valid Until" date since it will just not appear after that date has passed (and perhaps at other times as well). It is also no use for scraping frost off the windscreen.
