How to Organize Your Wallet and Loyalty Cards

This is a sponsored post written by me for Ziploop.  As always opinions are 100% my own.

A couple of weeks ago I posted on Instagram about organizing my purse.  It was filled with store loyalty cards, old receipts {some that I needed and some that I didn’t}, gift cards, and coupons {most of which had expired!}  Basically, it was just a mess!  Even after I sorted through all of the garbage, I was still left with a big pile of documents that was bigger than my wallet could actually hold.  I definitely needed to come up with a plan.

So…I decided to go digital.

Yes folks, this totally non-tech savvy girl is now storing everything on her phone using Ziploop!  Ziploop is a free app {available on both iTunes and Google Play} that organizes and stores all of your reward cards, gift cards, receipts, promotions, and coupons – all on your phone!  Bye-bye purse clutter!


Here is what I was able to get rid of from my purse…

LOYALTY CARDS
If you are like me, you have a huge pile of store loyalty cards hanging around in your wallet.  Honestly, half of the time I didn’t even use them as it was such a pain to actually find them.  Now they are all organized neatly on my phone and are so easy to retrieve!  To store your cards, you just need to take a photo of them {you have the option to choose a one sided or two sided card} and click to upload them to your phone.  Once they have been processed, you can add notes or tag them to help with your organization.

GIFT CARDS
I love receiving gift cards but I don’t usually want to carry them around in my purse all the time. There have been more than a few occasions that I have wanted to use one only to discover that I had left it at home.  Now I can have all of my gift cards stored on my phone and not worry about losing them!  {NOTE: I did keep all of my gift cards just in case and they are all stored together in a file folder at home.} Just remember to check for a PIN code before you upload your photo – many of them need to be scratched off to reveal the number and this will need to be visible when you upload. {Don’t worry if you forget though – Ziploop will email you to let you know! }

RECEIPTS
Why is it that when I am looking for a receipt that I need, I always find every single other receipt EXCEPT the one that I am looking for?  It drives me crazy!  With Ziploop, I just have to take a quick photo of my receipt and it is automatically organized and stored away neatly on my phone.  For stores that are now emailing their receipts {which is even better!}, I can give them my Ziploop email address and it can be sent directly there!  Receipts can then be easily be retrieved by date, store, or tag {think craft supplies, blog supplies, food, etc.}.  And, if you really want to know, Ziploop will also total how much you have spent at each store.

COUPONS

I am a great coupon collector but am terrible at actually using them!  I either forget them at home, forget that I actually have them, or can’t seem to find them when I need them!  Not only can you store your coupons on Ziploop, but they will also alert you when a coupon is close to expiring!

If you want to see Ziploop in action, you can check out this quick YouTube video HERE.  You can also find them on Twitter and Facebook.

Best of all, Ziploop is actually available for FREE at both the iTunes Store and Google Play.  I’m sure you will love it as much as I do!




UPDATE: Ziploop is continuously working to make things even better and has just released an updated version with improved push notifications for expiring rewards.  So rest assured – you WILL be notified when those coupons are about to expire so that you don’t miss out on a deal! 🙂
