Or I forget to take it out of my wallet and bring it to the pool.

Why can't TV add it to their app???

IMO I don't think it has anything to do with technology.

The current system provides very high security against the duplication and attempted use by someone other than the original recipient. And it can quickly be replaced if lost.

Others have pointed out the security built into our current physical card compared to a digital image(s) stored on today's devices.

Each have their pros, cons and applications.

All residents have a long-term interest in supporting and enforcing our current security/control/use of our amenities.

It has proven to be a good system not really broken.

I come to this conclusion as someone who has made a living integrating transaction ID methods as the technology has advanced.

Sure, as a matter of personal convenience, keeping many copies in digital format would be great!
