Just one opinion, but don't think I'd like the idea of having to take my cell phone every time I went to a pool or played golf, but would be fine with me as long as you didn't HAVE to have a cell phone with you, would continue to be an ID card. My other concern is that most of these are associated with large populations (air travelers, Starbucks customers) so the investment in the technology would pay off. But for Villagers ? WHO would pay the huge initial and on going costs since that would require substantial PROFITS the are sustainable; surely not the owner/developers ? Perhaps the $50 cost of a card could be pushed up to cover the app and associated technology ? For me it works just fine for me but would not fight it if this is what our community wants ! I would hate the idea that if I lost a phone (?) and cards were no longer accepted, that I would have no access to amenities until I waited the period to find or recover the phone... that's why it would not make much sense to discontinue the ID cards completely IMO. BTW, I've had very spotty success with my digital passport ! I for one will no longer rely on it !
