Every year at about this time, when I organise our Red Pennant travel & health insurance, I receive a C&MC Camping Key Europe card.

Having removed the old one from my wallet for the first time in 12 months and thrown it in the bin, I put the new one in my wallet and then forget about it for another year.

What is the point of these cards and what am I supposed to do with them? Are they supposed to be left with the campsite owner instead of a passport? If so, my experience has been that they always request my ACSI card returning it when I settle the bill the evening before leaving.

Has anyone ever found these cards useful and if so, how?

Like you we very rarely use it but as it costs nowt then it's worth having. We believe that there is a small discount available when showing it on some campsites as it is a third party insurance.
