Be aware that shopper loyalty cards you use like at the grocery store sell your information. Last year I was doing canvassing for an election. I won't mention what party to avoid getting into politics. Anyway we got lists of voters likely to vote for Candidate. These lists are mostly from local boards of elections. They list your name, address, party affiliation and which elections you voted in (although not who you voted for.) So there were several persons on this list that were for party x and the candidate we were canvassing for was party y. I asked back at HQ why these people were on the list and they told me that information gathered from
purchases might indicate what party a person would vote for even if that was not in agreement with the party they were registered as. She specifically mentioned the Shop Rite price plus card as an example. Well that made me think twice about using it. I have stopped using most shopper loyalty cards for this reason.
