Do you have a keychain or wallet full of grocery store loyalty cards and you're looking for a way to consolidate them? Well I may have the solution for you!

Cardstar is a free application that you can download on your iPhone, Android, Blackberry, or Windows mobile device and it allows you to enter all your store loyalty cards, so they can be scanned right from your phone.

Simply go to your phones app store and download the "Cardstar" app. Once it's loaded, open the application and hit the "+" sign on the top right corner. Then click "select merchant" and choose from the category of stores types.

For example, CVS would be located under "drug store". Next in the "merchant screen", select CVS from the list of merchants. Then type in your store membership number, including dashes and spaces, and press save. The application creates the barcode on your phone, so now when you go to CVS simply give the cashier your phone and they can scan it directly from there. So now you can live life a little lighter without carrying all those cards with you.
