<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hello all,

I've read through the forums over the last few months, and it seems one of the better places to buy imported goods is Metro. How exactly does one get a membership card to shop there? Is it possible to get an individual membership or do you actually need to be associated with a hotel/restaurant or similar? A few posters have mentioned that generally foreigners can use their passport to get a membership—is this still the case?

Thanks!]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[try these:
1. just walk in and shop. at the checkout say that you have no card. (works most of the time)

2. if you work at a school or other business you can get a card by showing a copy of their business license. i've heard that students can try this by going through their school also but i'm not sure.

good luck!]]></content:encoded>
