    Filling in the application for one those cards is nothing. Use a fake name and tell them you don't have a phone. Or, a fake phone number.

    I can see saying that you don't have a phone, but if you give a fake phone number, its probably someone else's no? I know someone who whenever they didn't want to give out their social security number for something but they had to, they'd transpose a couple numbers, but then its probably someone else's which isn't really fair to whoever that person is.

    I have 2 of them. One for the supermarket where I go food shopping and the other for Barnes and Nobles. I save about $8-$10 a week at the grocery store because of my card. At Barnes and Nobles I'm usually there once a wekk purchasing a book or two, either for myself or my kids, so I do save a bit of cash by having the card.

    I have two cards for local grocery stores. I used the address and phone number of the local Walmart.

    I've had my Sainsbury's card since I came to London. I really don't care if they want to track how often I need to buy toilet paper.

    i wonder if the caspian people worry too much

    in usa there mainly seems to be cards for groceries
    why do they do that as opposed to "you have to have a card to save on a pair of sneakers"?

    Why are you so worried about this? Jesus, do you have buying habits that would raise eyebrows? Nobody is forcing anyone to use these things. People who do use them get discounts. Big fucking deal.

    well I have a savings card for the local supermarket chain Stop & Shop, but if you don't have one, you can ask the cashier to "put a card through" and he/she will do so. but it feels a little weird to ask for that, so i always use the one I have unless I don't have it on me. I guess I'm not worried about "Big Brother" checking to see what food I buy :D

    plus, I just re-read 1984, and the use of 'loyality cards' really does not compare to the shit that went down in Oceania.



    wait a minute... I also have a CVS card... now THEY know what kind of cold medicine I use!! :eek:

    You will only have to worry if you buy too much cold medicine. If you do they will think you are operating a meth lab in your basement.
