Member Cards

This section lists the cards that have been assigned to a customer. A customer will generally only require one card but if they lose a card, or it expires, a new card will need to be assigned. A list of all cards are kept so that if a stolen or invalid card is used, the system can identify it.

Card Number

The number assigned to the card. This can be alphanumeric, for example ABC1212122.

If the card format starts with a semi colon, enter the card number (as the semi colon symbol is ignored).

If the card format starts with any other character for example %, this character must prefix the card number hence %ABC1212122 should be entered.

The status of the card. This will usually be 'Available' but can also be 'Unused', 'Lost' or 'Stolen'.

Valid From

The date from which the card is valid. This is not required, in which case the card is valid immediately.
