The advantages linked to loyalty cards are numerous and do not fail to attract the consumers that we are. But all these little plastic cards tend to make our bags explode. Fortunately with the development of mobile technologies, it is now possible today to dematerialize loyalty cards. These should delight those who like to travel light..
Manage loyalty cards from an application
Reduction, invitation for private sales, additional discount, free parking space, signing up for a loyalty program has many advantages. We are not going to lie to each other, we all have at least ten loyalty cards in our wallets. What's more normal ?
Membership is in most cases completely free and open to everyone. It only takes 5 minutes and once the form is filled you are given a small plastic rectangle with names. Thanks to this precious sesame, you will then be able to benefit from numerous discounts and good deals in your favorite brands.
Only drawback, we tend to forget our cards at home. We all found ourselves one day in front of the stupid cashier looking for this damn plastic rectangle everywhere. And obviously without it, we can say goodbye to great promotions and accumulated points..
Fortunately, today it is possible to use your smartphone as a virtual wallet and collect all your loyalty cards. To do this, simply install a multi-card application and save your different cards there. It is a bit long but once the process is over, we are sure not to miss any promotion.
