Hey I’m sure you all know how sketchy club cards are for collecting your data. But I do begrudge paying slightly higher prices just for valuing my privacy. I was wondering if there was any way to sign up to these things whilst limiting the data they have access to. Would it be enough to sign up with fake details and never use their apps? Or should I just give up on this all together? Thanks!
If you know anyone that has a card, ask them can you use it or ask in local groups. On reddit people used to share pictures of their clubcards so other people could scan it when they shop. The card holders get loads of extra points and the people that use the cards get the discount and privacy, win-win
The whole point of giving you the discount is how they pay for the data. It wouldn’t make sense for them to give you a discount without getting the data.
standard is treat them the same way you used to treat Netflix logins – one club card number gets shared among family and friends
EDIT: no one ever used their own Netflix login and no one ever uses their own club card number
Along with all the comments here, always use cash with the card too.
Once you use a credit/debit card with it, they’ll have an association.
Fake details and don’t use the app should do the job.
I was accused of stealing by a self checkout machine 3 times in 2 weeks. Discount card or not I’m shopping at the more expensive knock off whole foods instead. Fuck kroger. (I was still stealing apples. Because fuck kroger)
