It’s spring cleaning time and my wallet and handbag were in desperate need. I came to this realization while out shopping the other day. You know how every store you go into nowadays has it’s own reward card, and how you have to dig through every card in your wallet to find it?
Well after the embarrassing moment of unloading 40+ cards at the register, and sifting through them to find the appropriate card, I decided enough was enough. I came straight home and downloaded the app STOCARD onto my phone.
It’s an app that allows you to scan the barcode from each loyalty card and store them all in one nifty spot. Not only are they now in one place it also tells me if there’s coupon offer available for each store (no more hanging on to the coupon, it’s right on your phone) and you can see each stores weekly ad. Now when I’m asked for my loyalty card all I have to show is my phone.
I did have a few cards, like my library card that can’t be loaded into the app but I went from 40+ cards down to 3. Wow my wallet is no longer busting at the seams, and everything is so much easier to find. The best part is the app is available for all smartphones. If your looking this is the easiest of all the apps out there and its FREE, I highly recommend it.
Love this tip Dawn! Thank you!
Happy Easter!
Windi, Happy Easter to you too:) You need to try this app, it sure frees you up from carrying all those cards.
The hubby and I both downloaded it and I shared your post on my FBOOK page.
Windi, thanks for the FB share. I used mine today after church while out shopping. So much easier, I can’t tell you how nice it is not to hunt for a card….and Im an organized person to start with.
Windi, you are welcome. I love to share when I find easier ways to do things.
Oh I need this! Loyalty cards can lead to some great savings…but they are a pain to manage. No more shuffling through cards in line! Have a wonderful Easter!
Tamara, yes I love the saving too but hate keeping track of all those cards. They make me angry having to stuff them all in my wallet, but now more 🙂 Happy Easter to you also.
Great little app, now to find out if all the sites I have cards with accept it.
Linda, I was quite surprised how many stores are loaded to the app. I eliminated a lot of card clutter with mine.
I will check it out tonight!
Happy Easter!
Carol, you will love how easy it is to use and load all your cards too. Simple app for sure.
Omg. Thanks! Never knew that there was such a thing. Cheers
Lesley, I know I had to come home and google an app, I couldn’t put up with all those cards any more.
My son has been wanting me to do this forever!….I guess I need to break down and just do it!…Thanks Dawn!
Shirley, yes do it you will love how easy it is to use.
Dawn, thanks for telling me about this! I have my small loyalty cards on a key ring which makes them a little more manageable, but this will be so much better. I’m getting a new phone in a few days so I’ll download the app onto the new phone (and I’ll have to clean out my purse, too-it’s a spring ritual!)
Jane, so glad you can use the information. I think stores are wasting material when they hand these out, they could just give you a code for the app and be done.
I’m downloading Stocard now! Thanks for the great tip!
Jenny you will love getting all that clutter out of your wallet and it’s so easy to use.
Oh my goodness. So easy and quick. I’m done in 5 minutes!!!
Thanks for the great tip.
Mechelle, glad you liked it. I love not having all those cards in my wallet 🙂
