I think this is a really cool idea but I also think it is horribly awkward to take out your phone and scan a QR code printed on a receipt. I imagine myself standing in a line at starbucks at 8:45am with 20 people behind me and there I am pulling out my cellphone trying to snap a QR code pissing everyone else off who just wants to get coffee and get to work. I just do not believe the mainstream user is ready for that (or QR codes in general). Find a better way to record the purchase and you'll win users like me, until then I will keep using the card in my wallet.

I think people are ready for QR codes - they've worked out self service tills over here in the UK, and if the app was designed intuitively (don't mention "QR Code", just say "scan your receipt so the barcode is in this square") they'll work it out. They also need to sort out their site, get user accounts sorted/tie it to google accounts, and get that stuff on the market. It's amazing how quickly people learn stuff when there's free things in it for them.
