Smooch Japan KK, the pioneer of the smoothie market in Japan, announced Friday that it will launch its new innovative iPhone application called Let’s Smooch! on July 23. Developed specifically for Smooch by emonster KK, Let’s Smooch! uses cutting edge technology available on iPhones to make the consumer experience more convenient and fun for both customer and retailer.
Let’s Smooch! gives customers access to up to date detailed information on Smooch, latest promotions, locations and drinks and also to access Smooch’s twitter page and home pages. It also incorporates perhaps the world’s first stamp card for iPhone using bump technology. This allows customers to get rid of paper point cards and replace it with a point card in their iPhone, which can be updated only at the Smooch store using latest GPS and Bump Technologies.
Customers who download the application will be able to take advantage of special promotions made available only to iPhone users through the Let’s Smooch! application. In addition, customers who download the application will receive a point card that is pre-loaded with 9 points. This means that the next time they buy a Smooch, they will be entitled to another one free.
The application can be downloaded free at http://itunes.apple.com/jp/app/lets-smooch/id379447495?mt=8.

Let's not, and say we did.

This sounds like a killer application. It could finally open the door for an app that gets rid of all the dozens of shopping cards one carries around these days, as nearly any shop offers one.
With the capabilities of the iPhones location service, special offers could be presented once a person is near a shop and so attract him/her inside.
Thinking of it, I feel I need to call my Indian programmer ....

They don't have one of those in Japan yet? We've had a point/loyalty/discount card app in the US for at least a year now.

Been in use in japan for years.
Some cel-phones can handle multiple point-cards(Yodobashi, etc) and also can handle "Suica"(Monthly commuter pass, etc) and "Felica" payments. Not sure if "Edy" is supported though.
Also not sure if IPhone does support the above systems yet so the app might have limited usability in Japan.
P.S.: I use an "Edy" card and card-reader "Pasori" attached to my PS3 to buy from the Sony-store. Same way I use my Cel for Suica and a few point-cards at shops. Makes the wallet light, Suica, etc automatically recharge from CC.

the general media fascination with anything "i" is tedious.
