Using the AAM Digital Membership Card

Why is AAM issuing digital membership cards?

Digital membership cards are a convenient, eco-friendly alternative to physical membership cards. Transitioning to digital cards allows us to deliver your membership card faster to you, and it saves the Alliance both time and money. Additionally, the environmental impacts of physical card creation and distribution for a member association as large as ours are very substantial. By delivering digital cards via e-mail instead of printing and shipping plastic cards, we estimate that we’ll reduce our carbon footprint by over 1,000 pounds of CO2 per year!

Simply put, digital membership cards are greener, less expensive, and easier to distribute. Plus, going digital means that you never have to worry about losing your membership card!

I am not sure that I received my digital membership card via email. Can you send it to me again?

Yes! Please email the AAM Membership team and provide us with your first and last name and email address and we can send you a link to redownload your digital membership card.

My organization is a Museum, Ally or Industry member. Do we receive a membership card as an organization? Do I personally receive a membership card as a staff member of the organization?

No, only Individual members receive access to a membership card. You can log in to view your profile and check your organization’s membership status. Depending on your organization’s membership, you may be eligible for a discount on your Individual Professional membership.

How do I add the digital membership card to my iPhone?

Access the digital membership card email we sent you from your smartphone and click the “Download” button, then click “Add to Wallet” and “Add.” The card will automatically go to your iPhone’s Apple Wallet. It can be accessed in Wallet at any time.

How do I add the digital membership card to my Android phone?

Android users need to download Wallet Passes from Google Play. After you have the app, access the digital membership card email we sent you from your smartphone and click “Download” in the membership email, and the card will automatically go to your Wallet Passes app, where it can be accessed at any time.

I installed my digital membership card on my smart phone but I can’t find it.

If you have an iPhone, the card will automatically download to Apple Wallet. Check the app for your new card (scroll through any cards that are already there–it may be hiding!). If you have an Android, you’ll need to download Wallet Passes from the Play Store prior to downloading the card.
