I wish we could get 2 id's just for that purpose, but I already asked and the answer was no
I work at an executive course and we cannot except anything but the actual card..

Almost everyone carries their phone with them even to the pools when they don't want take a wallet. Several months ago the Rec Dept was instructed to accept electronic copies of ID cards on phones if they would scan properly. STOCARD is an App that will do this. It makes a proprietory picture of your card that can't be photoshopped and it will scan succesfully. Some managers who are stuck in 20th century have resisted the 21st century update. If you have a problem, call Customer Service.

The wallet goes when I leave the bubble for an extednded trip so I have my medical, ATM and CWL.

Really? So you take folding money into the pool, then dry it every day? Wow! It’s almost like laundering your money. I’ve never heard of that, but I guess it would work.

The Villages could promote the use of RFID implantable chips in, say, the back or our hands. About the size of a half inch of pencil lead. Every place an ID card might be needed would have an electronic card reader. We would place our hand against the reader or near it and the gate would open. That would be great. It could also have our drivers license, medical history, credit card.

Barring that, have a hole punched in your card and wear it around your neck on a lanyard.

Use a paper punch and get a leather string. Put the string through the hole and wear it around your neck, or arm.

. Put it in your wallet or pocket book etc whatever you take with you I always take mine.

You're right!

Just read the entire thread..... that's several minutes of my life I wasted and will never get back! Had a suggestion for the OP on where to put it but I would have been given a long timeout so kept it to myself.

What's wrong with wearing it around one's neck? Or, perhaps, stapling it to the extra loose skin just under the arms? LOL

NO! AND, I seem to have totally lost mine!! I kept it in my name tag/bridge membership lanyard. I also have a picture of my one we got when we were renting to buy on my phone, BUT, some folks can scan that, some can't. We've been locked down so long I have NO IDEA where mine is. We bought late 2019 and got the real thing. I'm guessing no one has found it and turned it in, since we haven't done anything since before the rec centers closed. Just hoping I can easily get a replacement when we start going to stuff that requires it...OR, all rec centers will accept and be able to scan from my phone! At least my husband can call my phone so we can find that!!!

[bpascani]

WELL, that wouldn't work for me!! I would lose a wallet faster than I would lose my lanyard (which I really didn't lose...the id is just gone). I would have to be replacing dr. license, and all insurance cards etc on a regular basis. I do like the idea of getting a new phone cover thing, that could hold just my villages id (once i get a replacement!)

Money dries pretty quickly and, so far, in and out of the water hasn't had a negive impace on any of the cards. On occassion my wife has thrown my pants into the wash and yeah, I left it in. So pool water with clorine or warm wash with detergent doesn't seem to matter.

[Mini_T]

I have plenty of that!

Same here. Just like my drivers license, health insurance card and several other important forms of ID.
