CIPD Membership Value

Received my membership card this morning and already it looks like scrap paper, what happened to the credit card type, last longer and looked more professional. I now have to go to the trouble of trying to glue it together whilst trying to make it look good

Agree entirely. It looks cheap, nasty and like a fake compared to those issued in previous years. Could CIPD consider going back to something that looks a bit more professional please.

Really glad I just read this. Just fished mine out of the bin as I hadn't even realised it was my membership card.

I nearly did the same last night Lesley - took me a second look to notice the membership "card" on the bottom. I see what people mean. Nearly ended up peeling it in half getting it off the letter.

I'm all for reducing plastic, but the new cards just about survive being taken off the letter. I agree with Julie, perhaps an online register and then if employers want to check someones membership they just need to access the register and enter the persons membership number. Saves on both plastic and paper! Win win.
