How will I receive my digital membership card?
The card will arrive via email with a link to download your new digital membership card directly to your Apple Wallet on your iPhone, or to your WalletPasses on your Android phone (the WalletPasses app must be downloaded from Google Play). If your email has a sensitive spam filter, be sure to add membership@cuseum.org to your address book.
How will my secondary member get their card?
