Check out Social Passport (www.socialpassport.net) as it will be totally up your alley. For consumers it creates a QR code which stores all of your social networking information for instant scanning to Like, Tweet, or Checkin somewhere, and then also serves as a digital loyalty card and e-coupon. Merchants incentivize users to get their Social Passports scanned through discounts, contests, and giveaways, and in return send a customized message to a user's entire social network.

What problem does this solve?

I've never been walking around thinking, "Man, you know what would be cool? If a merchant could incentivize me right now. I wish my digital loyalty card also had an e-coupon so I could checkin somewhere".

Change the pitch to: "Scan this for X free Airmiles" or "Download Social Passport for X free airmiles."

Is it possible to design a QR code that looks like a plane taking off or something?

Who the fuck even knows what a Digital Loyalty card is?

Yea, that sounds like a good way to get lots of unfriends. Who comes up with this stuff?
