We’re all familiar with loyalty cards, and for those of you who own more than a handful, you’ll all probably agree with me that it’s not exactly a breeze to lug them all around in one wallet. But what if we told you that you can enjoy loyalty perks with various establishments and you don’t even need to apply or even own a card? Too good to be true?

Too good, alright, but true! It’s called the Perxclub, and thanks to the wonders of modern day mobile apps, you don’t need to lug around a loyalty card anymore. Just buy your favorite goods from one of their partner establishments – they’ve got more than three dozen, by the way, with more coming soon – enter the amount you paid into the Perxclub app, scan the merchant’s QR code or what they call the Perxcode, and that’s it!

You’ve now earned perxstamps which you can use to redeem rewards from any of their partner merchants, such as K-Swiss, Nike Stadium, The White Hat and NewBalance just to name a few. Neat, right?

Fine print?

Yes. Well, not really. For now, only iPhone/iPod touch/iPad owners can get to enjoy the treats of Perxclub ‘cause, as of this posting, they’ve only got an iOS app out. So if you’re not an iOS user, sorry guys, you’re out of luck with this one. Again, for now.

An Android app is coming though. It’s all just a question of when.

Fees?

What fees? Everything’s free!

Interested to try this out?

Actually, can also use the app to do this, and even list partner merchants near you, if you’ve got Location Services turned on and a live connection to the Internet.
