NFC for the loyalty cards in order to collect points

Dear all,

I kindly ask you to help me in order to know if is possible to use NFC for the loyalty cards in order to collect points. I know is possible to add gift card on the wallet apple pay, but I'm interested to know if is possible to use NFC to collect loyalty point. At the moment using stocard I can add the loyalty cards like a wallet but when I'm at the point of sale which I have a fedelity programe I must open the specific loyalty card in the wollet in order to show the barcode needed to receive the points. Is it possible in some nation? Becouse in Italy is not possible for IOS, is possile only for Android.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Yes - it is possible to collect loyalty points / earn rewards and pay on a combined, contactless basis using iPhone and Apple Watch.

This feature requires the merchant to have implemented support for their loyalty scheme.

In the US, loyalty points can be collected on a contactless basis and payment made via Apple Pay with:

Kohl's - pay using Kohl’s Charge (store card) and simultaneously earn Yes2You Rewards loyalty points.

Walgreens - earn loyalty points automatically on the first contactless presentation (the loyalty card is selected automatically based on location) and pay on the second presentation of the device.

My Coke Rewards - earn reward points automatically when using Apple Pay at participating Coca-Cola vending machines.
