Best Way to Pay! An App to use while waiting for Google Wallet.

---

Hello! I just noticed this new app being promoted around my city (Boston) and it is quite awesome!

The App is called LevelUp

It is by the makers of SCVNGR (I haven't used that one)

Anyway this app is awesome because not only is it a fast and easy way to pay, but it also gives you great deals as well as some awesome rewards! Plus it is cheaper for businesses to use than credit cards.

So once you sign up, you add your credit card and then show your generated QR code at the store. You can even select a tip.


Now only stores in select cities are using this so far:
Boston, NYC, Philly, and San Francisco.

So if you live here you should definitely get this app!

Here is the best part (and a great tip for those in Boston):

The first time you pay in a store, you get money off of your purchase, then the more you pay at that store with LevelUp, the more money off you get.

For example. In Boston there is a place called Sebastian's. The first time you go there with LevelUp, you have a $10 credit. So get all the food you can under $10 and watch as you don't pay a dime. Then, after you spend $50 (including your first free $10) you get $5 off your next purchase.


Also if you are interested here is a Promo code that will give you an extra $5 towards any purchase: 59840

Have fun Everyone! and keep an eye out for the LevelUp stickers in store windows!

Would be nice. I happen to not live in a big city and have been looking for a payment solution similar to Google Wallet. Maybe when ICS gets pushed to devices it will be compatible with more phones. Not sure why though since GB was supposed to be fully functional for this type of service.

Well even if we had Google Wallet, we would need NFC, and then retailers would need to buy nfc readers. I don't see it becoming prevalent for a few years. This already has a head start and gives you free money! lol

So. Someone steals my phone and goes on a shopping spree.... no thank u

True. And if you guys haven't heard someone already hacked Google Wallet with ability to steal card numbers. However, it is no different if someone steals your wallet or just the credit card number. Last two cards I have had (personal and business) someone got ahold of the number and went shopping online. So really, it can happen either way. Just have to make sure your lockscreen is active.

We'll never get wallet due to lack of NFC but I also own a NS4G and you'd really be surprised at the places it works. Next time you go the the grocery story check out the card swiper. Most have a lump at the top for mastercard tap and pay fobs. Those are NFC points and work great. Now that I look for it, im seeing them a lot. I've even paid for gas at the pump with it.
