Gift card tracking app replacement?

[Golf4food]

With the Disney gift card app now kaput is there a different alternative out there for tracking cards and balances?

I think Disney is working on something new. I can't wait because I loved the app. Fingers are crossed it will be available soon!!

I was able to use the app this week but what we did just in case was wrap the card in the most recent receipt that showed the remaining balance then each time we used it we made sure to rewrap in the newest receipt.

I have zero faith in Disney technology to have it ready before our trip in 33 days

Gyft has an app that not only keeps track of your GCs (not just Disney ones), but it creates a bar code for the GC on your phone. You can just use it from the phone with no need to carry your cards around with you. I plan to try it when I'm in Disney next time because I'd rather not have to carry a stack of GCs with me to Orlando on future trips.I'll still bring the physical GCs on my next trip but if this works, I'll leave them safely at home the next time. If I could just have the CMs scan the barcode on my phone when I make a purchase, then that's one less thing to worry about!

ETA: The Google Wallet app can also be used to add your GCs to one place. As with the Gyft app, a barcode is generated for the GC and the balance is updated. In Google Wallet, you can also take a picture of the front and back of the GC and store it in the app.

Thanks. I'll check out Gyft. It has better reviews in the App Store.

It is no longer in the App store for download by new users.

It currently works but is no longer being supported by the developer. That means that someday, it will magically cease to function when it is no longer compatible with the most recent iOS version.
