JHL (14.10.2013 - Heikki Jokinen) JHL gives now possibility to get the union membership card in the smart phone instead of a traditional plastic card. First it is offered to a pilot group of student members, later this year for all members.
Many reductions and other membership benefits are available with the union membership card. These include for example cheaper prices in the union own holiday resorts and on selected other holiday spas and resorts.
Card gives discounts on passenger shipping companies for cruises and travels to Sweden and Estonia. JHL members are also covered with leisure time traveller's insurance and in case of accidents with permanent handicap on free time. And, if needed, the membership card also gives discount for wedding rings.
All the membership benefits available work also with the new mobile phone card, except the 2 cent/litre discount on fuel at Teboil stations. For technical reasons it will be part of the system later.
The new benefits on the mobile membership card are e.g. the latest news from the union, always actual information on membership benefits and a map service including all JHL offices and cooperation partners.
The mobile information also includes direct links to the phone numbers of the union membership services. The mobile membership card works in all major operational systems. For downloading the card members are getting a sms with a link and a code to activate it. The card will download from the link which needs internet connection.
To order the new mobile card will be possible for all members in the end of this year. JHL will inform members about it on the union magazine Motiivi and on the web pages.
