App of the week: Perx
Loyalty cards go digital — collect "stamps" to earn perks with this app at participating Singapore retailers
Replace your loyalty card with a digital one. Perx, one of Singapore's leading mobile loyalty platforms, has a location-based feature that highlights nearby retail outlets that accept the loyalty app. 
Once you spend the required amount to get a stamp, click on the chop tab, request for the quick response (QR) code from the staff and scan the QR code with your phone's camera.
Accumulate the required number of stamps and claim your reward from the retail outlet. Once this is done, you get a fresh slate to accumulate more stamps.
A search function in the cards tab will help you to locate the nearest merchants registered with Perx.
Price: Free
Platforms: Apple iOS, Google Android
