I have three apps that, according to the App Store, are Passbook-compatible ... REI, Target, and Apple Store. For some reason, the only one that's showing up in Passbook is REI. Maybe I'm not fully understanding something, but why wouldn't I see Target and Apple Store in there?

Thanks

You need to get a coupon from the target app and send it to passbook and you need to get a gift card (or something like that) from the apple store app and send it to passbook.

That makes sense, thanks.

Not sure about other countries, but in the UK Passbook is as useful as a hole in the head. In all the time since it has been introduced it has not gained any momentum here in the UK. I have a feeling that since it is now quite old, it is not going to happen, Passbook is dead (at least in the UK and N.I.)

I certainly don't think it gained the momentum that Apple and others had thought it would. I think there are people who use it daily and others who never do - I used it for a while for Starbucks but I found it unreliable (not necessarily Apple's fault) and didn't really save me much time.

More developers need to do something with it and maybe if you could (and I don't know if you can or not) use it for the tube or bus tickets, etc.

Not necessariily dead but for most just no great reason to use.

That sucks. As a person that travels often for work, Passbook has been amazing for me. I have an iPhone case that stores my credit cards and ID's. Between that and being able to store my Starbucks cards and plane tickets, it really becomes very handy as I never have to shuffle for them anymore.
