Coupons, loyalty cards, special offers, are all ways to earn discounts and benefits at various stores. Experienced (and wise) shoppers never miss an opportunity that enables them to get a discount. These offers (particularly loyalty cards) can be especially helpful when shoppers buy from the same store regularly; discounts on each purchase can combine to form a huge amount of savings.

Of course to carry discount cards and loyalty cards of each store we purchase from can be a little difficult – there is only a certain limit to things we can carry in our wallet. If you are an iPhone user, however, you can use an application to save your discount/loyalty cards and carry all of them in your iPhone. CardKing is exactly such an application.

CardKing is a free iPhone application sized at 4.4MB. Its basic function is to let users store their coupons and such in their iPhone. Stores can then scan the barcode of these coupons off the customer’s iPhone and let them avail that particular offer.

Good app for iphone. Actually i can use it for my project.
thx post

I have a competing app but pretty much the same thing. I have noticed that self checkout does not like the barcode. It works a lot better with a scan gun.

Great app…now if I only had an iPhone :(
I wonder if this would work by just taking pics of all the cards barcodes and storing them on your cell phone? Probably not but I may try it anyway. If you see a woman trying to scan her cell phone in the self checkout lane it might be me.

I like the idea, but the reviews on the App Store say fat chance at the scanners reading the codes. Might put one card in and give it a try if there is not a long line.

The kind of information you’ll need to plan and enjoy a wonderful experience dining out at a local restaurant.
