Store Cards

How many of you still carry the physical store card, like Target or Kohls, if you have the app on your phone?

 

If so, why?

Re: Store Cards

All my Target spend shifted to Amazon about a year ago but even before that I don't think I ever carried the card outside even once. 🤔 It might be in a box somewhere in one of the closests...maybe. Smiley LOL

I have no cards that fall in this catagory, but if I did I would carry it like the rest of my cards. Phones can have problems and apps can crash and burn, but "card in hand" = "card in hand"

The old style with out system upgrades, or apps.    Smiley Happy

Re: Store Cards

I rarely walk thru the door of a Kohl's store but the physical card remained in my wallet until recently morphed itself into a Kohl's Visa. A physical Amazon store card is hiding somewhere in my wallet for an unknown reason..

For those times you go to Whole Foods since you can now use the "Amazon store card" there for 5% as well as the Visa.

Giving you justification for the wallet space. Smiley Happy

Re: Store Cards

I don't currently have any store cards for stores with physical locations but if I did I'd have to carry the card because my phone stays at home, where it belongs.

Er. That sort of defeats the purpose of cell phones... even the original, pre-smartphone purpose of emergencies. Good luck finding a pay-phone on a corner instead 😜

I think you can actually just check out with your Amazon Pay account at Whole Foods now, actually. You definitely can at Amazon Fresh (P2 does not have the Amazon card in their digital wallet, or physical wallet, but occasionally picks something up there when they do returns at Whole Paycheck and I see the charge on the card account).
