My child has registered with the Club and does not hold a membership card. Which card should I choose?

Option 1: The MCID is an identification card offered/applicable to Members’ children of any age up to 21 years old to enjoy greater ease and convenience when participating in the Club’s programmes. It does not come with signing rights. Children may enjoy an opt-in benefit of a HK$300 spending allowance, if granted by the Principal Member.  This allowance is loaded on to a smart wristband issued upon check-in and can be used on days children attend programmes.

Option 2: The Supplementary Card issued by Hang Seng Bank is offered/applicable to children aged 8 – 21. It comes with individual signing rights at designated venues.
