Hotels do this too - I joined the Palomar frequent stayer program and received an email with my "card."

When I clicked on it it downloaded as a V card into Outlook and into my iphone contacts!

That way no one else could use it. Wonderful idea.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Smartphone membership cards



Has anyone used/created/seen this?  



I work at a museum that is currently looking into the idea of giving patrons the option to have their membership cards delivered to their smartphone.  We are 100% in the pre-pre-pre planning stages.  But, we are wondering what the best ways to do this may be.  An app?  



I've heard of a few museums doing this via a bar code in an email, which the patron would then have to save and pull up every time they visited the museum--but this would not be ideal for us.



We're hoping to basically make it look like our membership cards, but digital.  Any thoughts?  Your comments are appreciated!
