Press a button. Pick a card. Swipe to pay.

Seems like a pretty cool idea. I wouldn't mind receiving one for Christmas.

I have one. I used it at Mason's and to get gas yesterday and it worked but it hasn't worked more than it has in my limited experience. I haven't tried the NFC feature.

I have one and it has basically sat on my desk since all my new cards have the chip in them. However, Coin emailed me a free upgrade to the 2.0 version, which supports chip enabled cards and has NFC as well.

Kudos to them for the offer, as I backed them when it was originally listed on kickstarter 2+ years ago.

I love the idea though, there are a lot of other brands that are also available with same/similar features. Great transition tech before the completely digital wallet.

I have one, but have the same issues as others - the chip. In places that don't require a chip it works 90%+. They are promising the chip upgrade in the spring.
