On-line Loyalty Programs
Recently there has been a move away from traditional magnetic card, stamp or punchcard based schemes to online loyalty programs. While these schemes vary, the common element is a push toward eradication of a traditional card, in favour of an electronic equivalent. The choice of medium is often a QR code. One prominent example is the US-based Punchd, which became part of Google in 2011. Others, like MazeCard, have offered similar programs in other continents.

Famous quotes containing the words loyalty and/or programs:
“One perceives that again and again she has destroyed her life when it was forming into shapes of happiness because of her loyalty to the early misery, her conviction that that has the sanction of ultimate reality, and that beside it all other things are trivial.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“Government ... thought [it] could transform the country through massive national programs, but often the programs did not work. Too often they only made things worse. In our rush to accomplish great deeds quickly, we trampled on sound principles of restraint and endangered the rights of individuals.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
