Your Membership Card is now available digitally

The iPhone 6s which Davet54 says is the minimum required to run it was released in September 2015, so you don’t need the latest phone, unless that’s what you want. Recently replaced the OH’s iphone at 7 years old and then only because it was falling apart. However, it does mean she can get the digital card, even if it does have my name on it.🤔

My fat engineering fingers work my Smartphone quite well 😉😉

I think you miss the point of my post which was not aimed at people like yourself who do embrace modern technology but by different means. Almost everything that is available on a smart phone is, of course available on your tablet. No need to replace phones every 18 months if you chose wisely in the first place!!! I am meaning the suggestion that older people who won't engage in any type of new technology. Having said that for those of us without "engineering fingers" I think we should all do our bit to encourage the use of smart phones as so much can be done on them

The people who are older than I am that I meet, although there are getting to be fewer and fewer of them of late, do all seem to have much newer cell phones than I do - perhaps because they have only acquired them recently.

Why would you expect to buy a new mobi every 18 months?🤷🏻‍♂️  Because that seems to be what everyone is doing.  Does mean I can up-cycle my girlfriend's old phones into a dedicated rear view camera screen, doorbell camera monitor, etc.

I have one that’s why I know they are to smart for me. And you still get unwanted calls same as from a landline. Block them and they call from another number.

Have got the membership card on the app. Can't easily get OH on her phone yet. Not that there is much point as I always check in and pay on my card.

Unsure if it will be worthwhile as I now have to remember after several hours of towing to take the phone with me, open the app, then take my wallet out of my pocket that has my credit card and physical membership card in it both easily accessible .

Seems like typical 'technology' a tool for something that is not actually needed.

Our card renews in January, when we are not away for more than an odd day. However, the system might help others whose renewal is later in the year and are away on tour when the new card pops through the letter box.

but if you were away and your new cards were on the mat behind your front door, I'm pretty sure you'd not be turned away from a site when you presented your old out of date cards. The wardens would be able to see whether you're still a member using the membership number.

In fact, I'm pretty sure I've presented an out of date card before now when I've just not got around to putting the new card in my wallet 

It would be great to lift the weight from purses and wallets by having everything on the phone but until we get phones that charge themselves it's a belt and braces approach for me.

In simple terms, how do you do that then? If you're looking at the screen then the lens is facing forward.
