How it's used
Membership in Hong Kong is frequently tied to loyalty programs at supermarkets, pharmacies, and restaurants. It is common to hear staff ask if you have a membership card, often referred to as 會員卡, to accumulate points or access instant discounts. The term implies a formal registration process rather than just being a regular customer.

Common mistake
Avoid using the Mandarin term 會員制 for the concept of a membership system, as locals simply refer to the status of being a member or having a card.
