Store cards · free

Every store card. On your phone.

Hold a card up to the camera and it's saved the moment it's read, then on to the next. Or lay a few on the table and take one photo. Then show them at the till, and share them with the people you shop with.

  • Any card with a barcode
  • Several in one photo
  • No account needed

Your cards

Getting your cards…

Opening the camera

Looking for a barcode

Hold a card inside the corners. Any way up works.

    How it works

    Three steps, and only the first one takes any time.

    1. 1

      Scan it once

      Hold a card up to the camera and it's saved the moment it's read, then on to the next. Or lay them all on the table and take one photo. Screenshots of a store's app work too.

    2. 2

      Show it at the till

      Tap a card and it fills the screen, with the barcode drawn sharp and checked to scan as your number. Your screen stays awake until you're done.

    3. 3

      Share it with family

      Start a family, invite the people you shop with, and choose which cards they see. Whoever's at the till has the card, and the points all land in one place.

    Cards it knows

    It recognises these from the barcode, and takes any other card with a barcode or QR code: gyms, libraries, coffee shops, the lot.

    What we keep, and what we don't

    The camera stays on your phone

    Barcodes are read on your phone. Nothing the camera sees is recorded or sent anywhere.

    No account, no copy

    Without an account, your cards stay in this browser on this phone and we never see them.

    Saved cards are encrypted

    With an account, card numbers are stored encrypted, and only you and the family you share with can see them.

    Never used for marketing

    Your cards are there to show at the till. We don't read your points, track what you buy or sell anything on.

    Gone when you say

    Delete a card and it's gone from everyone's phone. Delete your account and your cards go with it.

    Questions people ask

    Is it free?

    Yes. Scanning, keeping and sharing your cards costs nothing, and there are no adverts on your cards.

    Do I need an account?

    Not to start. Scan your cards and they stay on that phone. A free account keeps them safe if you lose or change your phone, puts them on every device you sign in on, and lets you share them with your family.

    Will the till scan my phone?

    Most supermarket and high-street tills read barcodes from a phone screen. Every barcode is drawn again sharp and checked to read back as your number before it's marked ready for the till. If one struggles, turn your screen brightness up, or read out the number underneath.

    Which cards can I add?

    Any card with a barcode or QR code: supermarket, chemist and coffee shop cards, and gym, library and membership cards too. It recognises the big UK schemes from the barcode and you can name the rest.

    How do I share a card with my family?

    Create a free account, start a family and invite the people you shop with by email. Then tap Share on a card. It shows on their phone as soon as they've joined.

    What can my family do with a card I share?

    Show it at the till and see its number, so points land on your card. They can't change it or delete it. Where a scheme lets points or a balance be spent at the till, they could spend those too, so share those cards with people you trust.

    Can I stop sharing?

    Any time. Stop sharing a card, or remove someone from your family, and the card goes from their phone straight away.

    Is sharing a card allowed?

    Every scheme sets its own rules. Some are for one household, some for one person. Sharing is your call, so check your card's terms if you're not sure.
