Why aren't they using nfc?
Why not check in with NFC cards?
Could this be done using a phone with NFC? Thats pretty much RFID tech isn't it?
An NFC tag inside your wallet might work? ;-)
That's what nfc cards are for
Perhaps an NFC smart card you can carry in your wallet or phone case :)
This is a gimmick and there's no way around it. NFC, once widely supported, will make this obsolete.
They don't want you to know it can be done with a $1 NFC sticker
How is NFC on a phone more convenient than tapping a card?
There's usb and nfc solutions for this ;P
