I also like to have a card in hand for being able to access premium checkin or lounge where I have status. For just beeing a basic member I don't see it necessary to carry a card with me.

I would guess that most, if not all, airlines only send you a plastic card after some minimum activity like earning 3k miles or doing a return flight.
