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?

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.

Posted on 30/10/2022 08:57 by CornersteadyWhen you have you card displayed in the app, underneath it is a black box that says 'save to phone' and just press that.

I have the new club app on my android phone.. I think I've now installed it 3 times. In my opinion it is not fit for purpose.
At first I could see neither my bookings nor my membership card. At the moment I can see my single outstanding booking but not my membership card. It says " once you have an active membership you card will be visible here "
My conclusions are : a) give up, the app is useless b) I'll stick with a plastic card c) don't bother with the app.

Posted on 30/10/2022 20:39 by CornersteadyIt'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.

I rarely use google wallet, I was rather disappointed with it. I loaded my debit and credit card on it, without problem and used them, but when I tried to load the card I use the most, my barclaycard cashback credit card, the app just wont have it. If you search on the google wallet app for supported card issuers in the uk, Barclays just isn't there...
In the end its just easier to use the actual barclaycard for me, and keep the pay by phone option for occasions when I don't have my actual wallet with me but then can still use a non preferred card via pay by phone.
