There is a QR code on the receipt, it is just hidden under the small box so the internets does not steal my 1 €.

Send the E to your main wallet and show to QR code.

It would be quite intresting to watch later the statistics of access

Your €1? Seriously? If you really cared about €1 you'd obfuscate the ID, and put a bogus QR, but geeze, €1? I suspect in reality that while you were busy sticking paper labels to a pub condom machine with blue-tack you forgot the obvious utility of a QR code on the ticket.

On your phone, no less.

I'm still stunned that Microsoft and their Kinect wizardry can't scan those XBL codes so you don't have to waste so much time typing them in. QR codes have a use!

The inconvenience is part of their business plan. A certain percentage of people won't redeem their code, making it profitable.

Most of the codes I've redeemed are for things that come bundled with something I've already purchased.

I doubt typing in an annoying code is going to make a meaningful difference in the redemption percentage of purchased point or Live cards. The biggest factor there is losing track of them.
