Last two times I called Southern California Auto Club the responder didn’t even want to see my card. He did verify my identity via my DL and then confirmed current membership via cell phone text. Cards are in the past as are buggy whips. CW is just doing what others are doing.

Don't know about you but my roadside assistance number is the same as my Good Sam membership number.

You must be a happy man, then, for as Conan famously said, success is to
"Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of the women!"

ADAD437...You are referring to the Good Sam Club membership card, which is still plastic (at least the card I got a couple months ago is). We are discussing the Roadside Assistance membership card.

Hello RognBon,

Thank you for time and post.

Please note that for your convenience and to help reduce some waste, we have recently stopped issuing plastic membership cards for Roadside Assistance and Travel Assistance memberships for a few reasons.

• We have gone digital. There is no longer a need to carry cards with you; just program the info into your phone and go.
• This is better for the environment as it is creates less mail and less plastic.
• Based on customer feedback regarding having too many cards, this consolidates the need for all the cards.
• Less to carry in this digital age.
• Digital cards keep costs down so we don’t have to increase prices of our programs.

Should you ever require service, you need only to provide the primary phone number on the account or your membership number and we can quickly locate your membership and provide service.

Please save 800.947.0770 in your contacts in case you are ever in need of service. You no longer need physical cards to receive service! You can always refer to the email, your phone or if you prefer, print the cards and store them in your glove box.

You can also log in to your account at https://www.goodsamroadside.com/members/account/signin/ at any time to view/print your cards and your membership brochure.

If we can assist with anything else, please send us a private message with your contact information.

Thank you.

Road service card at the pump? Never heard of that.

you have to have the plastic one to put in the card reader at the pump.

I put all cards in a Notes folder on my iPhone, stored in iCloud. Important ones are then locked using Face ID for security. Heck all my insurance, vehicle registration cards either come electronically or on thin stock paper.

My DW however simply uses a lamentation machine to preserve the documents and puts them in her wallet.

Just scan it and send it to your self by email so that you have it on your phone. Just leave the document in your 'saved' folder.
