People are just realising there’s a handy app that saves money on shopping – and it frees up iPhone space too

THERE are so many loyalty cards around these days that it’s near impossible to have them on you at all times.

Fortunately you can save most of them to your iPhone or Android wallet.

But annoyingly, not all shops support virtual wallets.

So you could be missing out on easy money savings or points whenever you’ve forgot a loyalty card.

Iceland and Ikea are just two examples of popular stores that only allow you to keep your loyalty card in their own app or as a physical card.

This means the only way to do it digitally is using up precious space on your smartphone for their individual apps, which you don’t necessary want.

However, there is an alternative app that can get around this.

It’s known as Pass2U and it allows users to generate a virtual loyalty card that’s saveable to your iPhone or Android wallet.

The app is free to download on iOS and Android stores.

Once you’re in, just search the name of the store you wish to create a card for.

There may be several options so pick the one you like the design of.

Then tap the scan option and scan your physical loyalty card’s barcode, followed by Done.

(You can type your loyalty card number out instead too – but it won’t generate a barcode for scanning this way.)

The app will then create a virtual card in a few seconds.

You just need to tap Add and it’ll be added to your wallet.

Now there’s no need to bring all your cards with you or have their store’s app on your phone anymore.
