Sounds like a fantastic idea. The new iPhone 5 comes with an icon marked "Passbook" and describes it as "Passbook is the simplest way to get all your passes in one place." Theoretically i guess you're suppose to have your boarding passes, retail coupons, loyalty cards etc in one place. I haven't played with it yet but should imagine this would be the ideal place to keep a museum membership. 

I love the idea, it sure would tidy up my wallet.
