We can do almost anything with our smartphones these days. You can check your mail, play a game, order dinner, read a book, and of course shop. I feel lost without my iPhone. I’m always browsing iTunes and the internet for fun and unique apps to empower my iPhone even further. I was recently asked to review a new loyalty app called Clutch. The app is absolutely free so it is definitely worth giving it a try yourself.
I downloaded the app to my iPhone and jumped right in to see what it was all about and how it could benefit me. I found that this is an app I am so glad I now have. Do you have a lot of loyalty cards? Carry around a lot of coupons and gift cards? Then Clutch is the mobile app for you! This is my key ring that I carry around with me everywhere.
I counted nine loyalty and membership cards in total. While it is convenient to have these all right at my finger tips it definitely is a bulky thing to carry around and definitely not all that easy to put in a pocket. With the Clutch loyalty app I can eliminate all of these cards and store them in one easy place, my iPhone , something that I’m rarely without. So that means they will still be at my fingertips.
Since this was one of the main features I was interested in I jumped right in to begin entering my loyalty cards. It was pretty simple really. I selected “my wallet” then clicked “+” to add a card. I selected loyalty and it asked me to scan the bar code on my loyalty card. Once scanned in I could select the store. There are many stores all ready entered and of all the cards on my key ring there was only one that I couldn’t find in the database. When this happens you can type in the name yourself. You can then also take an image of your card in case the cashier needs to see it for any reason. I took an image of the front and back.
Loyalty Cards with Clutch
Now when I go to any of these stores I can whip out my iPhone and they can scan my loyalty card right from my phone.
You can also add credit cards, coupons, gift cards, and others. I tried a few of these but they didn’t really fit for what I needed. The coupons I think is good if you have specific store coupons like Bed Bath and Beyond, Target, etc. I’m thinking of putting in all my gift cards because right now I have a Ziploc bag in my purse that has all my gift cards and coupons so that I have them on me should I do some spur of the moment shopping.
I went through each item in the menu and found some pretty cool features. You can compare and shop! Have you ever been in a store and wondered if you could get it cheaper at another store? With the Clutch mobile app you can do just that. Simply scan the barcode of the item and Clutch will find deals in your area or on the internet.
Find Deals with the Clutch Mobile App
You can also find great deals in your local area by clicking “find nearby”. Sure enough when I selected this I found a deal for the golf course right down the street that my husband and son frequent often.
This is just some of the features of this pretty unique mobile app. In addition you can sync it with the Passbook app already on the iPhone. You can connect with friends and see what deals they are finding and upload your own deals as well. It is like having your best friend shopping with you. I am definitely going to be using the Clutch loyalty app for future shopping trips and get rid of my clunky key ring!

I could definitely this app with all of the loyalty cards I have! However, I don’t believe this app is available for the Windows phone yet.
Colleen says
What store do you use to purchase apps for a Windows phone?

Tammy says
I have an app that stores my loyalty cards, but this is new with price shopping and comparisons…I think I may add it to my app stash!
Rhiannon Rowland says
I keep seeing more and more features and apps for smartphones that I just love. I hate carrying around all my loyalty cards and then having to flip through them all to find the right one! I really need to get a smartphone one of these days!
Robin Wilson says
This would be great for my son to have. We have to share cards sometimes (they only give 3 at some of the stores we shop in) and I have gone before without the card and then stand at the register trying to remember what phone number, address, etc. I signed up with. Not to mention that I don’t like saying out loud for the world to hear my info for the sake of a bonus buy. Thanks for the heads up!
LyndaS says
Thanks for sharing. I am so going to download that app and become better organized.
