SWAGG: The new app to deal with all of that plastic in your purse

I have an entire little pouch that I carry around in my purse just for my membership cards, gift cards and various other loyalty programs.  Now, I can ditch that little pouch and use .

SWAGG has launched a new app for Apple and Droid devices that deals with this troublesome problem.  Using this app, you can load all those gift cards, loyalty points, etc into your iPhone or Android mobile device.

SWAGG allows consumers to import more than 250 brands of gift cards and rewards cards and, unlike plastic cards, SWAGG permits consumers to view available balance and reward information on most of these cards. Additionally, consumers can use their mobile device to give, get and even exchange SWAGG GIFTS from participating merchant partners such as American Apparel Inc., The Wet Seal Inc., Crocs Inc., 1-800-Flowers.com and Arden B. Through SWAGG, consumers can access the offers that matter most to them, connecting users with more than 3,000 retailers. Retailers benefit by acquiring new customers, increasing in-store business and retaining existing customers.

The app is currently available for US residents only for their Apple and Droid Mobile Devices ONLY.

I’ve loaded a Sam’s club card as well as a Sephora gift card I received and it’s nice that it updates the amount on the spot.  No more calling a number, entering the 16 digits and keeping track of it all.  I like that I don’t have to keep up with the cards and the balances.

Every through the month of December = $1 donation from SWAGG to Stand Up 2 Cancer.  So get to downloading and check it out.
