Phoenix 2600 VIP 2.0 Project

Assignment:

Step 1: Sign up for VIP cards (use fake info) in the following 4 stores:
Albertsons
Frys
Safeway
Bashas

Step 2: When you go to the store, try using a VIP card for the wrong store: Example: go to Frys and use your Safeway club card.

Step 3: Report to the forums. Please report the what store the vip card is supposed to be for, the first 6 digits of the barcode, what store you tried it on, and if it worked or not.

Step 4: Goto Step 2 Until research is done

Whoever submits their results on the forums will be listed below as members of this project. Please don’t make stuff up either, we want a working product…well I do atleast. Don’t worry about being secretive with this. I sometimes prefer going to normal checkout (not self-checkout). I just say “hey, I’m curious, but could you see if this VIP card works.” Or just tell them your doing a research project for school. Honestly, with most of them, you don’t even have to give them a story. But then again, those of you that have used the first generation VIP card know that. I will have a Open Office Calc file with the results in progress of the data collected below.

May 2005 Meeting History

Retro brought a 286 lappy and hot glued some shinny stuff to it. Rax brought a mac with Tiger. Nak brought his ham gear and used the autopatch method to call my cell. LosT brought a bunch of embedded web server gear. Zaphraud brought his cantenna, made from a pringles can. I handed out a few vip 2.0 prototypes for people to test. After that, half of us went the Nicks Pizza and had a bite to eat.
