Membership Cards

It was I, Steve, and nothing seems to have changed. Tonight, after reading this post, I reinstalled the app, cancelled the card in the wallet, reloaded the card to the wallet and it is still showing a different expiry date to that in the app, Dec 2022 instead of Dec 2023! 

I expect the following post to be removed!

The club said that they were in the process of fixing it months ago but obviously nowt's happened again. What a bunch of useless.........!!!!!

Yesterday we were in JL buying a few things and at the till Margaret was struggling to get her My John Lewis Card out of her purse. The lady on the till suggested put it in her wallet on her phone and showed her how easy it was to use. Today I had a play around with my own cards and loaded both JL and Waitrose cards into Google Wallet and it worked. So I thought perhaps I should try my CMC card and again it worked without issue. Despite previously saying I would prefer the card perhaps I will get used to flashing my phone?

During COVID, we made a concerted effort to familiarise ourselves with more tech, particularly what our phones and iPads are capable of doing. We have used online shopping for a very long time, adopted internet banking a good few years ago, and now are both making good use of all sorts of useful, and in many ways life changing Apps. I wouldn’t describe either of us as interested in technology that much, but there are just so many ways nowadays to make routine things such a lot easier, and a good deal of the “chore” of certain things has now been reduced. The more you use stuff, after learning, the easier it does become.

Like TDA started to use Google pay during COVID and now we're addicted so to speak. In fact I can't remember the last time I took my real wallet out. In fact I have to keep reminding myself what the PINs are.

Also at the time daughter number 2 was doing her rotation with Barclays fruad and call center, she said that illegal and furad use from phone cards was very low. In fact it was mainly family and 'friends' who knew your PIN. Now with finger print unlocking it's even better.

Our membership renewed while we were away in France. I thought the cards would be at home as has happened in the past. Nope, no cards so I checked 'my profile' and there it was. No I won't bother asking for cards to be sent out I'm quite happy with it on my phone. 

Do you use Strava when out on bike Corners? We have found it very useful, not only for recording our cycling details, but it also has tracking setting, so you can pair up with someone left at home who can keep an eye out if movement stops for any prolonged period. It’s certainly useful for us if we go out alone at all. Another you might be interested in, particularly if you just want to keep fit in bad weather is Rouvy.  (sorry for digressing a bit)

David, did the club card on your wallet show the correct expiry date, as your hasn't ever since first installing it?

I do have it but mainly use Garmin connect with it's mapping and routing and all my stored routers, then it connects with my two Garmin devices, the cycle computer and the wrist watch while about and then it's there on the computer when I get home. Just have to remember to give the activities meaningful file names!
