wildcard-iphone-appThis is the second iPhone application that we have reviewed that is designed to allow you to manage your gift cards from your phone. The first was the Tango Card.

The holy grail of these apps? Make it so you don’t lose money on your gift card (these apps try to make it easy to track your balance so you don’t end up leaving money on the card … a concept known as “breakage”).

The Wildcard app offers a convenient and intuitive way to manage and gift on the iPhone. The Wildcard is free from the iTunes store.

Here are details from the Wildcard press release.

With Wildcard, you can buy, store, gift and use your favorite gift cards on the iPhone!
