Eliminate Multiple Shopping Cards With CardStar In iPhone

By


If you live in the US, Canada or UK, you might be using a number of shopping plastic cards attached to your keychain making it bulkier. Now there is a simple solution for iPhone (or iPod Touch) users, you can use CardStar which stores all of your shopping card information in one program.

Once you input the shopping card information, CardStar generates a barcode in iPhone, which then you can use it to scan directly on shopping scanners. As seen in the picture below, the CardStar generates the shopping card barcode in iPhone, which you can scan it directly on most merchants' scanners.

CardStar is a free application for now, but later they plan to sell it for $0.99, which is still a reasonable price.

CardStar works in more than 180 merchants such as CVS pharmacy, Blockbuster, PetSmart and others. They will be adding more merchants soon. They also have the option to add in merchant of your choice.

Some of the main features of CardStar are the following:

  • A merchant list of over 190 companies in 7 categories (Drug Store, Entertainment, Grocery, Gym, Library, Retail and Travel) - just enter your membership number and you're ready to go!
  • Merchants from the US, Canada and the UK.
  • Advanced options for adding cards not included in the CardStar merchant list.
  • Quick access to additional merchant information and store locator.
  • Coming soon: access to additional merchant coupons and promotional content.


You can download the CardStar in iTunes here.

For other Smartphones like BlackBerry, Palm and others, CardStar will be releasing a new app very soon.

BeatsMe, which country you are in, they are available in most countries now. If iPhone is not available, they will be available in other phones soon.

Philippines. I thought CardStar is only available in US, Canada, and UK. I think iPhones are avialable here but I didn't really check it out, yet. :)
