Everyone can use a little extra money in their pockets. One way to save is to use coupons whenever you go shopping. Now, I don’t know about you but I am horrible at this process. Couponing requires you to sift through the weekly circulars and papers to dig out the coupons you would actually use. Then you have to cut them out, and remember to have them with you when you go out shopping.
There are a lot of people out there that are so highly organized that this is a regular habit. Sadly, I am not one of those people. When CardStar announced that their new CardStar application for iPad will do all of this work for me, my interest was definitely piqued. I got the chance to speak with CardStar’s Chief Technology Officer, Danny Espinoza , yesterday. Not only will the iPad app make it a breeze to save coupons that are applicable to you personally, but the app will sync those coupons to your iPhone, BlackBerry or Android phone (where you’re already running the CardStar loyalty card app, right?).
Now you can ditch that bulky wallet and unwieldy pile of paper coupons. What’s even better is that if you’re forgetful (like me) and your better half is at home, they can load up those coupons on the iPad and sync those coupons to the device(s) you’ve saved to run CardStar on your phone. Then you get a nice, tidy electronic coupon that you can’t easily lose while picking things up on your way home from work.

Greg Sterling, Senior Analyst at Internet2Go, is also a fan of CardStar’s new iPad app:
“CardStar has leaped into the red-hot deals space by transforming itself from a basic consumer utility app to a connected shopping platform with the launch of CardStar for the iPad. Its range of useful features makes it more than just another me-too coupon provider.”
CardStar continues to increase functionality in the mobile space by bringing ease-of-use to coupon and loyalty programs at your local retailers. Instead of a deluge of coupons and offers that you may not use, you get a focused set of discounts that are applicable to you personally. Another perk? You can easily email coupon offers you receive with friends and family.
