  • Digital Rewards: There’s an App for That

    One of the things I love about traveling is catching up on the randomness of the world through in-flight magazines. At this very moment I’m sitting on a flight to NOLA (!) and reading the June issue of Southwest Airlines Spirit. As expected in the Business Pitch section I discovered one of those “I wish I had thought of this” smartness that is so simple, yet I’m sure will become a fav. Key Ring Rewards Cards is a free app that scans a digital copy of your rewards cards using a barcode reader. “When you shop, just pull up the card and let the cashier scan the screen (works on iPhone & Android). You can access more than 700 rewards programs and coupons from retailers like Borders, CVS, and Best Buy, while adding local businesses with the customize tool.” Not only is this a great idea, but it was developed by Ross Bates and Chris Fagan who is co-founder of Dallas-based Mobestream Media. This of course means automatic cool points!
