I work for tescos on the checkouts, someone handed me an iphone today to scan in and it worked a treat, thought it was a fab idea, shame i only own a nokia! hope tesco design a clubcard application for nokias soon

I got this and promptly filed my clubcard in a drawer. Ideal not to have to carry so many cards about.
Unfortunately it didn't work so I feel like a right idiot.
The girl said she's only had one other one before and it didn't work either.
A good idea, but they've got to get it bang on or people will get fed up.

Saw someone trying to use one of these yesterday and it didn't work. Member of staff said they hadn't seen one work yet. Bloke got his card out instead.

Someone tried to use one in our store tonight. It didnt work and because they never had the original it took ages to put in the number and all the customer behind were getting well stressy!!

I take it they can't put it on my old baked bean and string communication device?

You could always selotape your clubcard to the side

Not sure why all the negativity! I use this on my iPhone - it works perfectly, I always forget to take my club card with me but always have my phone, theres no requirement to hand it over you just scan it yourself. Easy!

That is if the self scanning bit works. Out of all my customers today it only worked for one person, and that wasn't the one with the iPhone. If it doesn't you have to hand over your expensive piece of kit to someone sat on the checkout. I can not imagine Tesco paying for a new iPhone if it gets dropped or damaged.

I tried that but when I went to take the tin out of my pocket the card fell off.
