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!

      Yes that’s largely the joke, although I did once get $13 off in a single fill-up. It was the early days of the pandemic so between medicine refills and stocking up on groceries we’d maxed it out to $1/off per gallon. Combined with the plunge in gas prices it was the first time I’d paid under $1/gallon since the turn of the millennium.
