Amazon offering $10 credit for palm print biometrics

Tech giant Amazon is offering $10 in promotional credit if you enroll your palm prints in its checkout free stores and link it to your Amazon account, media reports said on Tuesday.

Last year, Amazon introduced its new biometric palm print scanners, Amazon One, so clients can pay for goods in certain stores by waving their palm prints more than one of these scanners.

By February, the organization expanded its palm scanners to other Amazon grocery, book and 4-star stores across Seattle, reports TechCrunch.

As per the report, Amazon has since extended its biometric filtering innovation to its stores across the US, including for New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Texas.

The retail and cloud giant said its palm scanning hardware “captures the minute characteristics of your palm both surface-area details like lines and edges just as subcutaneous features, for example, vein patterns to create your palm signature,” which is then stored in the cloud and used to confirm your identity when you are in one of its stores.
