      Just for anyone who collects PC points, you can just install the app, screenshot the part with the bar code and uninstall it. Works fine. I also do this with SaveOn Foods.

        I use Catima for all my points cards. It’s very barebones but has handles any card type I’ve put in. You can get it on official app stores, F-Droid, etc. Best thing, privacy focussed.

        Edit: including PC Points.
