Super Secure Patent-pending technology guarantees the integrity of your loyalty program. GPS triangulation, velocity analysis, and statistical variation keep things secure. Each venue gets one static QR code. A bit of fraud prevention based on location and statistical analysis does not seem "super secure" to me but perhaps i am missing something.
Did an Ask HN on this a few months ago ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1897331 ). Knew the responses would be pretty biased, but it was still encouraging. Glad I heeded you all.
Wow, no joke. Really cool to see Cal Poly grads doing big stuff, especially from the Android Dev classes. Missed that one by a quarter :)

"Super Secure" is obviously marketing copy and not an existing security spec. The actual security is explained below.
Regardless, any small business with a loyalty program would pick up on some guy that comes in repeatedly for free stuff. Their reports would probably indicate it too. An electronic version like this is definitely more secure than a punchcard, which can easily be gamed by going to your local art store.

I wonder why they do one QR code instead of letting them print out a week's worth of QR codes in advance or something actually secure.
I agree current implementation isn't exactly ideal, but we'll probably find a good compromise soon.

Can you link to the "actual security". I don't see it below. Regardless, any small business with a loyalty program would pick up on some guy that comes in repeatedly for free stuff.

hardware took ages to develop.. It still doesn't work for BB.. ;)
