Imagine if all these discount programs were linked not to the card, but to the bag. Bringing the same rugged bag with a chip could've become a new normal. - eviltoast

    What would the chip contain? Storing your credit card information on a bag? And then you have to somehow tap that chip against a reader when it’s full of your contents?

        You are right. Just a club card code. The only exception - is that it shouldn’t have an obvious way to add it to one’s NFC cards app in order to keep most having these bags.

      I think they’re saying discount card#, not credit card. Like at CVS. And I assume they could put an NFC reader in the checkout scanner so you could just drag the full bag across it to read the code
