Search engine company Google has said that, with its ‘Wallet SingleTap’ feature, users in the US can make purchases as well as redeem coupons or earn reward points.
Google said that its partners American Eagle Outfitters, The Container Store, Foot Locker, Guess, Jamba Juice, Macy’s, OfficeMax and Toys"R"Us are rolling out a new Google Wallet experience.
The Offers tab in Google Wallet has been updated to include a new "Featured Offers" section with discounts.
The company said, "With Google Wallet in hand, you can walk into a Jamba Juice, American Eagle Outfitters or any other partner store. Once you’ve ordered that Razzmatazz smoothie or found the right color Slim Jean, head straight to the cashier and tap your phone to pay and save — that’s it. You don’t have to shuffle around to find the right coupon to scan or rewards card to stamp because it all happens in the blink of an eye."
Google has also made organising loyalty cards easier.
