I would love to be able to pull up a "Safeway" card and scan my Airmiles and Club card on my phone instead of fiddling for my wallet for both of those

You don't need to bring your Safeway card, just tell them your phone number.
Air Miles has an app, that when you tilt sideways, gives your full card number. There's also a message that scanning is coming "soon."
If you wanna see some really cool payments tech, check out
Square Wallet (headed to Starbucks in the US this November) which lets you pay with your name.
