Cool. Probably as safe or safer than bringing all of them.

And I'm scared of it.

Wow, that is very cool. I guess the only thing for me is that I don't always carry my phone on me so I would miss the security feature. I wonder how durable it is? What if it doesn't swipe and you don't have another card to use as a backup?

I have the "keychain" app that keeps your customer loyalty barcodes so you don't have to carry all of the little key fobs and things around, but it seems like most places can't scan the barcode of my phone screen so it's pretty much useless.

I've also got that app and have experienced the same challenges as you. Many places could enter my loyalty card number manually but that defeated the purpose. I've got high hopes for Coin for credit cards.

I have had that issue before, and it is nice to have a "backup" card when that occurs. And there was apparently nothing "wrong" with the first card. Happened to me at Enterprise Rental Car about 6-8 months ago.

That's pretty cool. I am a little hesitant to keep all of my financial information in a digital format in a single place. I don't suppose it is much different than losing your wallet if the coin was stolen and hacked though. I would still probably wait a few product life cycles before using it. Let the security get really strong and let the coin folks work out bugs.
