cardmember
Credit account participant
A cardmember is a person who holds a credit card or membership card, especially with a financial institution or loyalty program.
The term is corporate jargon favored by credit card companies over simpler alternatives like cardholder: As a cardmember, you're entitled to exclusive rewards.
The closed spelling distinguishes it from casual references to card members of a club.
