Set Up Your Pin in a Minute

Your Touch-to-Travel pins arrive ready to go. No app to download, nothing to write.

1

Tap your pin

Hold the pin to your phone, then tap the link that pops up. Your pin's setup page opens in the browser.

iPhoneTop edge of the phone, the same spot you use for Tap to Pay.
AndroidMiddle of the back of the phone.

Thick cases can block the signal. If nothing happens, try it with the case off.

NFC needs to be on. It's on by default on iPhones and most Android phones, but Samsung phones ship with it off: Settings → Connections → NFC and contactless payments.

Still nothing?
  • iPhone 7 to X: open Control Center and tap NFC Tag Reader first.
  • Other Android phones: NFC is usually under Settings → Connected devices → Connection preferences.
  • Move the pin slowly around the spot; the reader is small.
  • No phone handy? Type the code printed with the pin under Account › NFC Pins.

Choose what it opens

Your board mapEvery place you've been. Great for a pin you carry around.
A single tripThat trip's page, with photos & music in the Globetrotter Club. Perfect on your wall map.
A link of your ownInstagram, a photo album, a playlist, any website.

Add a nickname if you like, then tap Save Pin.

That's it. Tap and share!

Anyone who taps your pin now lands right where you chose. They don't need an app or an account. Give it a tap yourself to see.

Change it anytime

Pins are reusable forever. Open Account › NFC Pins and changes work on the very next tap.

ReprogramPoint it at a new board, trip or link.
PreviewSee what it opens right now.
UnlinkGiving it away? Free it for the next person.

Please don't rewrite a pin with an NFC app. Its built-in link is what lets you manage it here. Writing over it disconnects the pin from your account, and rewritten pins are no longer covered by our support.

Questions

It says "This Pin Is Reserved"

You're signed in to a different account than the one that ordered the pin. The page shows a hint of which email it belongs to. Tap Sign In With a Different Account and use that account; you'll come straight back to the pin.

Forgot the password? Reset it here. Can't get into that account at all? Email us and we'll move your pins to your new account.

It says the pin belongs to someone

It's linked to another account. If it was passed on to you, ask them to unlink it under Account › NFC Pins, then tap it again.

It says "Pin Not Recognized"

Email [email protected] with the code printed with your pin and we'll sort it out.

Do people who tap it need anything?

Nope. Tapping opens a normal web page on their phone. No app, no account.

I have a blank NFC tag from another shop

Those don't have their own link, so they can't be managed here. You can still write your page's address to one with any NFC writing app:

For a single trip, open the trip and copy the address from your browser.
