I know this subject has been touched upon a couple of times but I hope this time the idea gets picked up! BestBuy needs one universal application for iPhone and Android systems. Combine RewardZone, Store, Deals, Game Trade-In & Library and Coupon apps into ONE universal application. I have noticed that some of the apps do not work properly all the time and crash upon opening. It's cumbersome to download four to five apps for the same store...BestBuy! Re-work the shopping experience into one unique one, by providing RewardZone, Store Site, Deals, Game Trade-In & Game Library and Coupons into one awesome application. This would save users time from "multitasking" through numerous applications and save the user battery life while shopping on the go, pulling up reward certificates or adding a game to their library. I have an iPhone 5 and using BestBuy's site and applications are great...when they work! One of the great things of having a smart phone is the use of NFC (eWallets) or Apple's Passbook applications. These applications provide the customer the ability to put their RewardZone Membership card, RewardZone Certificates or store coupons all stored in one place on their mobile device. This would save a bunch of money by not having to buy so much paper on something that will just be thrown out in a matter of minutes.

Google Wallet is integrating with Gmail for P2P payments Google is digging for mobile gold with a series of enhancements for Google Wallet that put the mobile payments solution into more direct competition with PayPal and Apple, but do not address its limited availability. The news about Google Wallet comes out of last week’s annual conference for Google software developers and includes enabling person-to-person payments via email, the ability to store loyalty cards and coupons as well as a streamlined mobile checkout process. With Google Wallet struggling to gain traction with consumers and retailers, the search giant hopes these advances can help drive some excitement around its mobile payments play. “Google setting up easy to use email person-to-person payments is a direct challenge to PayPal’s dominance of the P2P space, because Gmail is so widely used,” said Mary Monahan, executive vice president and research director for mobile at Javelin Strategy & Research , Pleasanton, CA. “This is the first we’ve seen of Google getting into the direct person-to-person space like this. “The new [Objects] API makes it easy for businesses to add loyalty and offers to Google Wallet, which opens the wallet up tremendously,” she said. “However, it is still important to realize that Google wallet requires an NFC-enabled Android device, which is only available on select carriers.” Enhancing the digital wallet Person-to-person payments are a key ...
