Hi, Yes the description below is exactly how it’s done at Starbucks for instance if one is scanning their starbucks card from their app. Hold the phone up clerk swipes a device past the face of the phone which is towards them but it never leaves the owner’s hand. I would be very surprised if other equipment configurations would be different necessitating the handing over of a device; nor would I ever consent to doing such myself.

Could you not just hold your phone out toward the clerk face up and they scan the screen of the phone that way? Like everybody else, I would be a little nervous just handing over my phone. The way I do it now is, I just give the clerk my phone number and they pull up my rewards information that way. To me, that is easy short and sweet!

I don't think I'd be comfortable handing the device to someone, but I have to think that eventually things will be set up so you can use a device and do it yourself.

If using apple Pay or any of these smartphone payment options that are looming ever closer require me to pass my device to someone else, I'm not sure I'll ever use them. My electronics last a long time because I'm the one in control of them. There are just too many butterfingers in the world. Alan Lemly Sent from my iPhone On Feb 21, 2015, at 2:17 AM, M.

The number of brick & mortar stores in my area that accept Apple Pay transactions via the NFC protocol is relatively high. As a result, I find myself using my iPhone to make purchases at least once a week, sometimes even more. The one thing I would like to see added to the Passbook app is the ability to quickly and easily add store reward cards without first having to install a store-specific app. Now I am well aware of the fact that there are a growing number of third-party apps and websites that will facilitate the creation of a passbook pass, however, given the recent data security breeches across the web, I am reluctant to give out any private purchasing information to third-party, and as far as I am concerned, unvetted entities. Given my recent success with Passbook, I have been considering virtualizing all of my store-specific reward cards by installing an app such as KeyRing or Stocards. Using such an app would allow me to quickly display the virtual card on my phone's display allowing it to be scanned at the time of purchase. I was planning on downloading a few such apps this evening when, earlier today, while in a brick & mortar store, I witnessed a customer hand her iPhone 6 Plus, with a virtual reward card displayed on the screen, to a store employee in order for the employee to scan the bar code. To everyone's surprise, the employee dropped the iPhone. Because of a convergence of circumstances, the phone landed on the floor. Not good. The customer was, to put it mildly, furious. After having seen this, I'm not certain if I want to use virtual store reward cards if doing so means that I must first hand my device to a store employee. A virtual reward card on your iPhone 6 Plus, be careful who you hand it to. Mark -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
