I have heard rumours but seen nothing in writing.

1. If we decide to remain members, will we continue to receive a plastic credit card style membership card, or will we be forced to download use a phone app?

2. Is the Sites Directory being republished as a paper book, or is this another obligatory phone app?

I have the membership card on my Google wallet on my phone where it is much easier to retrieve than from the App. No need to be connected to the internet or logged on. I think the card will go the same place as the directory, in the C&MC binder in the door of the motorhome just in case of need.

How did you get your membership card into your wallet?

When you have you card displayed in the app, underneath it is a black box that says 'save to phone' and just press that.

On my iPhone I loaded my card into the wallet....all fine....I then loaded OH card and it overwrote mine rather than adding it...

I tried the reverse by adding OH first...again all fine...then added mine and it replaced OH's.

OH doesn't have a phone and I managed to load both our Covid passes into the same wallet yet I can't add two membership cards...weird.

Same here YT, I cannot load both passes into my Wallet on iPhone. Not a problem for us, as OH can use his own phone.

What's a Google Wallet?undecided

Posted on 30/10/2022 20:39

It's an app for android phones that allows you to put a virtual copy your debit and credit cards on your phone and then allows you to use contactless payments using them. You can also store other cards in the wallet such as club membership cards, nectar card, and in past times the Covid pass. It used to be called google pay.

Not in my experience, always goes through straight away. And I'm not sure what get 'tangled' tbh?

Nellie, Apple Pay is much as Corners describes, only for iPhones. Allows you to put important items such as debit cards, etc… onto your phone, removes the need to use a plastic card all the time. Very easy and secure to use. Linked to a fingerprint in our case. Has to be set up via your bank for bank cards, but easy to do.

JV, never had a problem using ours, and never seen anyone else having issues either. More than likely user error.

It normally is user error school children seem more so as was demonstrated numerous times when I was using the local buses every day for four weeks when OH was in hospital and then one wonders why the buses run late frown

And in Aldi last Thursday the checkout operator said it is one of the major holdups as our Granddaughter says at Tesco check out and definitely on the self service checkouts surprised

Sometimes it’s the card payment devices.

Our Tesco has just put some new scan as you shop devices in, and they are so slow compared with old ones. Still better than in trolley, out of trolley, back into trolley though😁
