Quick answer: Plastic costs per card, expires stale, and can’t be revoked once handed over. The digital card costs a flat module fee, updates itself, verifies by QR, and revokes instantly — the only thing plastic still wins is nostalgia.
How it works
Reprint cycles disappear; a designation change updates the card in place.
Lost-card risk drops to zero — the card lives behind member sign-in.
Dues-linked validity turns the card into gentle, automatic policy enforcement.
Frequently asked questions
