Digital loyalty card vs paper punch card
Paper punch cards work. They are also invisible: you learn nothing about who is using them, and you cannot contact anyone. Here is the honest trade.

The verdict
Paper is cheaper, simpler, and survives a flat battery. It also cannot tell you that forty of your regulars stopped coming last month, which is the entire reason to go digital.
