My 'stocard' app

Joe_Hennessey

Hey everyone,

I am making this post to tell you about an app I recently downloaded called stocard. its absolutely free and you don't need to sign up for it you just have to download it of the apple app store or the android app store, sorry that's the only platforms that i know its available for.

Well now to getting to tell you what stocard does. Basically stocard is your all in one loyalty card that can rid your wallet of all them plastic cards that we have to carry around, it works by taking a picture of the bar code on the back of lets say your tesco card and it will save it under the tesco card slot so that next time your at the tesco checkout all you have to do its open the app click on tesco and there you have it your card. But it not just tesco there are loads of options of cards from blockbuster which is not much use now :rotfl: to costa, debenams, iceland, ikea, the list is massive and if your card isn't on there their is a other card slot but I've not had chance to use this because every card of my dreams is on it.

So I hope you all find this post and the app useful
I hope I put it in the right place

I've created my own loyalty card-barcodes (which I'm guessing your app does) and tried to use them in store before... made one for my Clubcard and stuck it to the back of the holder that the Vodafone SIM cards come in which I had cut up (so I could drill a hole and put it on my keyring). The cashier's first response was 'We don't do top-ups'.

I've also found that the Subway QR readers don't like my phone's reflective screen and won't read properly. Didn't realise this until I had transferred my account to the phone, and once that's done, you can't move it back to a physical card- so lost a lot of points.

So yes apps like these are useful in saving wallet space, but be careful as you may come into difficulty when trying to use it in store.

My iPhone seems to work fine I've never had a problem and I never use to have a problem with my blackberry on the subcard

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: my first thought too! imagine if after a while it replaced your barcode with one for someone else's account.

Also, Tesco clubcard = your not rich and if you buy enough horse burgers you might get enough points to get your kids into Alton Towers cheap.

Where as...

Using the App = ooh look! the person in front in the queue has a nice new Samsung Galaxy S3, I think we will follow her back to her car and rob her of it.

Hmmm I think that I am pretty safe on Tesco's carpark with all the people around
