Is your wallet busting at the seams? Your key chain weighing you down?

You hate to join the customer loyalty programs, because you know the store is just spying on you, but how can you pass up the deals and steals that come with it? You can’t. So you end up with loads of extra plastic cards taking up valuable real estate in your wallet, bag or junk drawer.

My friend Janet recently introduced me to my new favorite app: MyEchain. It converted this pile of cards (yes, I still have a Blockbuster card!)…to no cards at all.

You simply scan the cards into your smartphone by hovering the phone over the card and… done! You have all of your loyalty/membership cards at your fingertips. No remembering numbers and no lugging around of the extra weight. It’s a free and easy way to lighten your load.
