Fine, it's easy to do, but in that I've never heard of it before not via this forum orwww.highrankings.com, I wonder of the perceived value.  I ask the question.  Feedback anyone?  -Bob

Allows you to encode crazy long urls, etc, but I don't perceive the value of putting it on the website itself, that what those funny things called "URLs" are for. My guess? It's another one of those things that fearful clients buy from marketers. "Get on the bandwagon or go broke!".

Yeah I think a similar origin.  The person who passed along the request to my client appears to be a realtor, is suggesting that it is useful to the audience with good cell phones who can scan the info. But still trend vs value?  I searched "qr code" on the SEO website and got nary a result.  So I'm a little skeptical.
