How to add cards and other items to Passbook
There are many apps in the App Store that already support Passbook. They aren't always loyalty cards or gift cards either. Airlines such as American Airlines and United allow you to store boarding passes in Passbook while Klout allows you to view your score in one place without ever having to open the actual app.
The process for adding cards may differ from app to app depending on how the developer chose to implement Passbook. For this example, we're going to use Starbucks app.
- Launch the Passbook supported app of your choice, in this case, Starbucks.
- Somewhere within the app there should be settings for Passbook. In this case, I can tap on the Manage button underneath the myCard tab.



How to access your items in Passbook
- Launch the Passbook app from the Home screen of your iPhone.



How to refresh items in your Passbook
Every one in a while apps don't refresh as often as we'd like in Passbook so if you don't think your balance or point value is right, you can manually refresh that card on your own.
- Launch the Passbook app from the Home screen of your iPhone.





How to delete items and cards from Passbook
Things that expire such as coupons are probably something you'll want to delete on a regular basis so they don't clutter up your Passbook app. It's very simple to delete a card from inside Passbook itself.
- Launch the Passbook app from the Home screen of your iPhone.
