Stocard App Review - South Africa - A Place For All Your Loyalty Programme Cards
Просмотров 4,4 тыс.5 лет назад
Hi everyone in this video I will review the StoCard app which is basically an app designed to consolidate all your loyalty programme cards into one place such that you don’t need to carry the physical plastic card with you when you go shopping but you can simply retrieve the card from the app whenever you need it. I also show you how to download the app, then link your loyalty cards and lastly,...
My account got locked out for "Suspicious Activity" even before my seller account got approved and I am unable to log in and contact Amazon support... this is so idiotic, like everything else in SA, amazon is screwed. I contacted Amazon in America and they say to contact Amazon SA.... there is no Amazon SA support available without logging in, how stupid is that?
This review made me buy it lol a year later -Great work man
This is one of the best reviews I have ever seen
hi is it safe to buy a cellphone on amazon ??
Thank you for these clear explanations
Awesome review, exactly what I was looking for thanks so much.
This video is a hoax Fake News….just a lie. He tells how anybody with a school ID can get the discount……duh So title about anybody getting the discount is a lie. You are in fact required to have school id in this video. Thanks for falsly labeling the title
Mine entered “self-preservation mode” I can’t seem to figure out how to use it now😢
Got it to work?
How do you get the email address dude?
is there a limit on the number of products i can import? SARS page says only 3 in a calendar year
Can you tell the excitement when he mentioned the specs for the monitor 😂🔥🔥🔥
Cool desk 😅
This is the best video I've watched today🎉
Thanks for watching!
Cool desk
Thanks for watching!
Will a ps5 work from us
Hmm I’m not sure why not, have u tried to make the purchase?
Thank you so much for this, I have the Gizzu UPS it's been helpful , thinking of investing in this too...
The Gizzu UPS is great! That was one of my first Gizzu purchases. Thanks for watching!
Has anyone had success on a battery replacement on one of these devices?
I haven’t had to replace my any of my batteries yet. Have u reached out to the manufacturer?
whats the model?
At service stations you will have to go into the shop to scan. Forecourt do not have scanners
My power switch and plug in switch is broken can I have it repaired
Thank you so much. Now I understand this thing a lot better 😌
Thanks for watching?
Does the unit make a fan noise when charging?
It shouldn’t make noise when it’s charging. Were you charging and using it at the same time? 🤔
@@thembakhanye no, just charging. But the fan was on from when we started charging. It’s brand new as we bought it yesterday
You have to switch it off then it won’t make the fan noise
Hi, mine is currently not charging it's showing E05 error code but it's fully charged 100 %.
Hi Busi, I’ve never experienced that before. Have you reached out to Syntech? They are always very helpful on the phone. www.syntech.co.za/
Instead of this buy the Yoobao en700 is the same price but 700 charges in 1 hour with 200 watts extra
I spoke to Gizzu yesterday, they said they can’t replace these units batteries as they are not allowed to import the batteries into the country 😔
That’s very inconsistent with what they told me.
@@thembakhanye wanted to buy a battery as they have a long shelf life, don’t know where to get compatible battery. Hope I can find one
Now they ask for school ID some school so dont give out ID’s
I recently bought one from takealot it powers ON but when we have loadshedding it doesn't come ON which is really strange and its very NEW and I suspect it also took out my Gizzu UPS which not charging now
Cool desk
IT'S CHEAPER TO JUST BUY A VERY CHEAP 200 AH GEL BATTERY AND BUY A "DUAL INVERTER CHARGER", YOU CAN GET THOSE FOR $180 OR LESS, AND THAT'S 2400 WATT HOURS, DOUBLE THIS ONE, AND FRACTION OF THE PRICE.
Boss the gel battery is rubbish. My battery died in 6 months on the mecer inverter I purchased. 9k wasted. Loadshedding gave it a beating. The gizzu is running for over 1 year and still lasts. Why ? Because it's a Lithium battery. Lithium is king.
yeah and it's 300ma h, whichis nothing, i would rather my battery die 6 months in than have a crusty capacity@@thephotoswindler
Can i connect to an extra battery?
yes of course but you can reach out to me for advice on how to get maximum power. The normal battery 12 v will only charge it up to 100 watts per hour... meaning you can only use one or two appliances, like a tv and laptop. if you want more power you can connect two 12 volt batteries in series to make it 24 volt meaning you could get 200 wats an hour into your system.. or you can buy a step up volt converter for $20 lol to convert 12 volt to 24 volt and get the same effect.
Thank you very informative 👍
cool DESK!!!! awesome video as well
Cool desk
Thanks, Themba. My 155w has just been delivered. You've helped me understand it better.
WHAT THE POINT? LOL you cna power a laptop or tv (one of them) for just 3 hours lol.
@@KAIZORIANEMPIRE I hear you. Fortunately I've evolved beyond the need for South Africa's TV services, whether from the national broadcaster or the overpriced, substandard cable provider. Furthermore, I only use the Gizzu when my laptop runs down - I can get +5 hours out of it when I use it non-stop. Additionally, I'm not a juvenile who wastes time gaming, so my laptop serves its purpose as a workhorse. Finally, when the fibre goes during loadshedding I have portable WiFi to meet my needs for work and entertainment streaming. I will admit to being a slave to Netflix and RUclips but that is a deficiency I will confess to having in my character. No doubt you can tell what my interests REALLY are by my avatar.
How is it performing 7 months later? I want to get one for my laptop and router but having doubts about 150W
@@SeboleloKhanyela It has been a lifesaver for us, especially when there was cable theft in our area! I would, however, suggest purchasing a bigger model, or the Gizzu UPS for powering the router (cable theft necessitated the additional purchase). The 150w keeps my laptop and portable wifi running when loadhshedding hits at work, so it is more than paying for itself. However, to run your laptop and your router, I'd suggest a bigger one. I am still very happy with mine, though.
Thanks for a great review!
A year later, do you still think the table frame was the best purchase?
I have seen bad reviews about it and many don't recommend it at all.
Really bro, bathi what's wrong with it?
I’m planning on doing a battery drain test, and a battery charge test. It would be interesting to see what challenges people are experiencing so I can try and help where possible 🙏🏾
Mine had its first proper run today - powered my 8gb laptop from 7% to 100% in one hour. I'm pretty impressed by that - damned faster than Eskom!
I got this thing for over 1 year and it's working 100%
Those bad reviews are people who are misusing it.
Been a minute Tman, welcome back 🥳
Thanks Zakes!! 🙏🏾 I missed this too 🤣
Themba my phone is super fast charging at 66watts, does it support fast charging? I've also been checking out one from the brand Titan
That’s a beast of a phone bro, most iPhones peak at about 27W. Anyway, the portable power station has a PD port rated at 45W. I believe that’s still very fast for the majority of people. 😅
@@thembakhanye yeah man powerful staff, it takes 40 min from 0 to 100%. So eish 45 watts is not ideal. I'll check out the Titan one🤝
Just plug the original charging brick into the gizzu. It will charge at 66w
Cool setup... trying to plan my setup now... just a question - How do you deal with Loadshedding to keep the monitor powered?
Thanks for watching Lauren. I uploaded a video on my backup power solution that I use during load shedding
Lovely stuff😔🙏
Is it safe to order a laptop?
Hi Simukelo, I’ve never ordered a laptop before but I’m confident that they would deliver it safely. If there’s any issue la with it, Amazon will refund you. Happy shopping
I can see some backend under your table 😂😂😂
😂😂
Cool desk
Thanks for watching!
Is 48Months not the same as 4yrs ?
Awesome video. Please do more tech videos
Hi Keitu! Thanks for watching. I definitely will try to upload more
Cool desk. Love the cable management
great video
Thanks for watching Vusi!
Also why can't woolworths have a scanner for cards like clicks.... I mean even clicks is on top of it. I don't like handing my phone to cashiers at the woolworths tills to type on a number. Checkers is the same like woolworths. They have to type in the number from your phone
It's 2023 and the petrol stations still don't offer tapping of loyalty cards which is annoying. Most of the times I don't have my pick n Pay card and BP only has a machine to swipe for loyalty. So that sucks.
It’s ridiculous! Virgin Active recently agreed to allow members to use digital cards. I think it’s only a matter of time until everyone allows for digital cards.
