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!

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.
True but they offer clubcard prices for certain items which are made to look cheaper. In reality the clubcard price is the true value and the ‘base’ price is a mark up. So I guess we’re being charged for trying not to give our data
