But more than anything, just ease of use for a club, and hopefully to retain something people won't want to keep, because I see all sort of issues with leading out personals, and basically never getting them back again, with them being real easy to sell.
I just heard that MRT has two possible solutions for club transponders:

The first, as I understand it, is currently available, has a yellow case, and uses ID numbers that are unique to the club transponders, so if it should disappear and show up again later, it would be easily recognizable.

The second is a rechargeable transponder. It has not yet been released, and I don't know if the form factor will match the AMB rechargeables.
