Getting Started

CardStar lets you easily store and quickly retrieve your rewards, club, and loyalty membership cards on your Android phone, where they can be scanned directly from your screen at most merchants.

To get started, you need to build your card inventory. For each card in your wallet or on key chain, select the appropriate Merchant from the CardStar merchant list and then enter the card number from the back of your card – make sure you include all the letters and numbers from your card number (spaces and dashes will be ignored so you can enter them if you wish).

If a card is not listed in the CardStar merchant list, simply select (Other). The Add Card screen will switch to Advanced mode where you can enter your card number and a title to use for your card. Note that you may need to select a specific barcode Symbology and the Inverted option for CardStar to generate a matching barcode in the correct orientation.

If you can't match CardStar to your card, please let us know. We will automatically update the merchant list on a regular basis and your feedback and contributions will help us support as many merchants as possible.

After your cards have been added you can access them from one touch from the CardStar home screen. Use CardStar at checkout instead of your plastic cards. CardStar also features quick access to merchant information and deals in your area.
