Comment on Imagine if all this 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.

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?

It would just need to be the discount card/clubcard. Just a user id number. The payment can be separate.

  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
