a member/membership card

Since you don't have a membership/member card, you don't have access to the gym.

Hi,
Do both membership and member fit in the above and mean about the same to you? Thanks.

In my experience, "membership card" is the usual term. I'd readily understand "member card", and I'm sure I've come across it from time to time, but it's not an expression that I would use myself. A quick look at Google makes me wonder if there is an AmE/BrE difference here though, with "member card" possibly being more common in America?

I would say that it clearly depends on the gym to which you have a member/membership card.
