do you notice how supermarkets have 2 prices for many things these days ? One price for their "card holders" and a higher price for NON-card holders. This is another means of trying to dupe people into giving away their info. If I go to a cash machine, withdraw £100 and go spend it, then they cant track how I spent that money. SOLUTION : get people to take up loyalty cards so they can get the cheaper price ( "oh...the benefits of being a "member" ) but they can now see how you spent some or all of that £100. You have to hand your card over to get the lower price......YOUR DATA IS OBTAINED and you walk away unaware.
