Google wallet - without linking payment method?

Page may contain affiliate links. Please see terms for details.
The basic point - from my point of view - is that every shop wants us to have a membership card for their scheme
Tesco ClubCard, ASDA rewards and all that

and my wallet is already far too thick so adding 3 or 4 more plastic "membership cards"
hence to access the "rewards" I have to find and use the ASDA app and the Co-Op whateveritiscalled app and find the barcode to scan it

which is a pain

it would be nice if there was an app that just saved all these and I could have that on my startup screen and just use it wherever I am

(if anyone who does that sort of thing is listening then it could get all fancy and use GPS to find out what shop I am in??)

anyway - probably not going to happen

In the meantime I have a load of ASDA rewards point - and I have zero clue what I can do with the or how to do it
same for Co-Op and Nectar

Oh - and I want to do all that without having ANY bank/credit card stuff on my phone

I'm not awkward of fussy

but I might be cynical

Apple Pay does this. I have payment cards and all the loyalty cards. Just double click the side button and they’re they all are. Very simple to use.

Asda rewards mount up and once you have £1 worth (or multiples of) you can create a voucher to that value to use on a future shop.,
Co-op axed their reward points so you best enquire next time in their if you can still use then off your shop. The app still gives weekly offers to card holders plus some prices are reduced to card holders in store. For example a £1.50 bag of 5 oranges is on offer currently at £1.25 and their also an app voucher last week which made them 85p.
Nectar points can be used at a number of places. In Sainsbury's and Argos 500 will knock £2.50 off your bill. Self service tills ask you if want to use your Nectar points but at at staffed tills you normally have to specifically ask for them to be used.
 
Thought occurred to me

no use at the moment

but there is no real reasons who Tesco - et al - can;t link a credit/debit card to a membership card

so if I go to Tesco and pay by my credit card - then it could easily link that credit card number to my ClubCard (which I am sure they already have linked somewhere inside their systems) and behave exactly like I have showed/scanned my physical ClubCard

They would be perfectly capable of doing it

Think I might suggest it to them somehow
at some point
when I get round to it
probably before I die anyway

On the same basis there should be no readon why you cannot have a single store card that works in all stores. Its one way of locking up a self service till IME by scanning the wrong one.
