Not that there's anything wrong with that, but if you're a member, show your membership card, don't answer questions, and don't take no for an answer.
Who carries their membership card? I haven't ever carried mine in the many years I have been a member (unless I know I will need to use a US club and remember to grab it). I've never been denied entry because I don't have the card (even durring the few weeks post-3/3/12 when their computers couldn't look up membership info).

Membership cards, in general, just need to go away.
