![]() ![]() This makes finding the card you need to use quick and easy, as you can see in the above screenshot (excuse the American brands!). Your cards are displayed as “tiles” in two columns, with the brand name being the “image” for the card. The first tab contains your cards, the second contains your offers (more on this in a bit) and the third tab contains your settings. If your card isn’t yet in the search options, you can enter it manually – but know that Stocard are constantly adding new cards and it’s likely the one you’re trying to add is on its way! The remainder of the app is a simple 3 tab interface. ![]() Referring to the iOS version (as my current phone is an iPhone), scanning your cards is as simple as pressing the + at the top of the screen, searching for the “brand” of your card and then holding the card within the scan window shown on screen. The user interface is clean and mind-blowingly simple to use. If you then delete the app, or wipe your phone – you’ll be able to recover your scanned cards exactly as they were beforehand! Download and install the app ( iOS/ Android), open the app and start scanning your cards! There’s no need for you to log in, but you can connect the app to a Facebook or Google account to backup your cards. Getting your cards into Apple Pay/the Wallet app.My search lead me to Stocard, an app designed to physically thin out a wallet or declutter that keyring, by retaining a digital copy of your store/loyalty cards and allowing you to always boost those points no matter what! Stocard claim to have over 15 million users, which is an impressive feat on its own. If it can pay for the things I buy, it will at least allow me to reap the rewards from all of those many, many sub £30 purchases!Ī quick bit of research and I’m clearly not the only one in this boat. It seems that Apple Pay only supports certain loyalty cards at this point in time? This initially disappointed me, but I refused to give up! Short of making me a cup of tea, I expect my high-end, powerful and incredibly expensive smartphone to do everything I need it to do. ![]() Whip open Apple Pay and get started adding a “pass”, where it specifically mentions: “Keep your boarding passes, cinema tickets, retail coupons and loyalty cards in one place.” and you’ll find that, for whatever reason, the loyalty cards will not add. This is pretty low-tech though and there’s now things like Apple Pay or Google Pay. Most of these cards are simple barcode, keyring style loyalty cards and because I keep my keyring for keys and my tools – I don’t put these loyalty cards on there! Not only that, but I think they’re horrific to look at!īack on point – being barcodes, the thought popped into my mind once again: Why can I not have these on my phone, rather than taking up ( clearly) very valuable wallet space? The first option, of course, is to take a picture of each card and stick them in their own album. “I don’t keep much in there: recent receipts, my debit cards, my driving licence, a couple of loyalty cards, a Tesco Clubcard, a myWaitrose card and a Costco members card.” Me in my EDC post So if you don’t want to check my EDC post (although I do recommend it!), I said: In my last post, where I detailed my EDC, I mentioned that I didn’t really have much in my wallet other than my debit cards and a few loyalty cards, which prompted the question in my mind: I have my debit card setup on Apple Pay, why not my loyalty cards as well? In a pinch if I forget my wallet at least I can still use them! Well… apparently this isn’t doable by default – Enter Stocard!
