The title says it all. Just curios to know. I've not used it in real-life even once. Do you use it?
Got a tip for us?

Nobody I know uses it, it's pretty much supposed to store your gift cards and stuff but it's more trouble than it's worth .
passbook huh whats that? oh you mean that app that I have relegated to the **** i don't use folder
Yes
Yes, I use it regularly. There are a few programs that will allow you to create your own passbook passes so this has helped. I do wish for more support at the moment but I think it will come. Everything is going mobile and the more businesses see this as a ad and sales opportunity the more we'll see.
There are also a few coupon apps out there now that support it. When grocery stores and food manufacturers recognize this potential I think you'll really start to see it take off.

i use it, and i love it. i go to starbucks, bust out my phone, and the passbook notification is right there on the lock screen. one swipe, and i'm ready to pay. i don't have to worry about unlocking my phone, entering my pass code, or fumbling around trying to find and open the starbucks app. it's a win in my book any time you streamline the payment process.
ditto.. this is just like the newsstand app.. at least you can hide the passbook app in a folder
I use the Starbucks pass quite often and I've used my Best Buy Rewards card and Ralph's Market/Kroger card a few times. Waiting on Target and CVS to get their bar codes working.
It's hard to define regularly. I've used mine a couple times for boarding Air Canada flights, a few Starbucks trips and a couple Cineplex movies.
I voted yes, but I don't use the app every day. More along the lines of once a week.

I bought a $25 starbucks giftcard just to test it out when I got the phone on launch day. As of right now I still have $11 left on it if that tells you how much I use it.
The only other thing I have in there right now is a custom GameStop rewards card so I don't have to carry the physical one in my wallet. It needs more work and expanded uses for it to be useful to me.

I used it Starbucks to look cool but really I save what 10 seconds to bust out my Starbucks card?
But does Lufthansa even have flights all over the planet, I mean they are famous for speak german on all of their flights lol...but unlikely that's not a booking point to me, since I don't speak german haha.
Is American Airlines Passbook ready? anybody has a clue?
