Try one ... you might even like it. You can even make a phone call with one! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Or send and receive emails, or log in to this site and make comments to other readers as you argue into the samall hours of the morning. You might even become so engrossed that you spend hours on it with fingers flicking all over the screen as you become a total bore to those on holdiday with you.undecided

I certainly welcome it. Although it’s a shame it’s just part of the App and can’t be downloaded to my wallet on the iPhone, as you can with some others. I have noticed this with a few service providers. Presumably to try and get folk into looking at and using their App.

I note the card information shown does not give an expiry date. Does this mean that one needs to be a member to start a stay on a site but it does not matter if it expires during the stay?  How will the warden know to charge the non-member rate for the appropriate days?

Hi Navigateur, The Digital Membership Card currently only has a 'Valid as of' date and does not display the membership start or end date, instead it checks you have a valid membership at the time of opening the card. This is the first release of the Digital Membership Card and the next release will include your membership start and end date. This is due in 2022. In the meantime, Site Staff are able to see membership details on the system. smile

Thank you,Rowena, for the additional information. I note that the electronic card is "in the app", which means that to display it on my tablet I need Internet access. Possibly not a problem at Reception on Club Sites, but could involve much time wasting trying to get into an attraction, or be impossible on the field of a CL out in the country.

I was pleased to see that the Club has released an app for booking sites rather than relying on the website, which must be powered by steam, it’s so slow! However, I tried a search for a CL in the area where one of my favourite CL’s is located. Unfortunately for the site owner (maybe fortunately for me), the site doesn’t appear in the app. I checked back with the website (yawn while I wait for it to respond) to make sure the CL is still open and it is definitely listed. Surely, the app accesses the same database of sites as the website so why doesn’t it appear?

My app fails to display the 'membership card' box. It just shows the four existing square boxes.

Any help appreciated. Tablet and phone are both Android

Sorry if I’m insulting your intelligence, but have you updated to the latest version of the app?

"impossible on the field of a CL out in the country."

Have just spent 4 weeks touring England , staying on several Cls up and down the country. had no problem getting 4g signals on my phone.

I found that smoke signals tended to be a bit slow and if the wind was in the wrong direction - disastrous. 

Long live the Luddites like me though!
