Stories are fun, let me try one :)
"I go to pay at the checkout counter. Oh wait! I suddenly remember I have a rewards card here. Good thing I carry it in my wallet along with the other 10 rewards cards I have...shoot, which pocket did I put it in? Maybe it's here? no wait...oh shoot, now I have to take all the cards out. I know it's a red card, but so is my Target and Walgreens card. Now all my cards are out all over the place. People behind me in line are getting pissed off with how much time I'm taking. Now all I have to do is collect all my cards from the counter, reorder them, and put them back in my wallet. I wish I just had one card in my pocket that could work for everything."
- kintamanimatt 13y agoThat's not ever been my experience at least, even when I carried every rewards card I'd ever applied for! In fact I can tell you where everything is in my wallet right now without even looking!
- potatolicious 13y agoSeriously, someone downvoted you for knowing where your stuff is. Keep it classy HN.
- GeneralMayhem 13y agoI use my phone number for that purpose. Haven't had to produce a physical membership card in years.
- stanleydrew 13y agoBut this is preventable. In most cases, while you're waiting in line you can get out both cards and be ready to go when it's your turn to order and pay. With Coin, you have to find the cards serially, no matter how much lead time you have.
