You have a good point. I just got the costco citi credit card, and there was a small pamphlet included with the privacy information and what data is shared. Basically something like 8 line items for different kinds of data, 5/8 were required, the other 3 I had the option to opt-out, but they were automatically opt-in. At the end of the day, the benefits far outweigh the meta-data that is shared. Ok, sure you can see what I ordered at costco and how much I spend on gas. Yes, it's a data grab by companies, but what are you gonna do... not take 4% back on gas and 3% on restaurants?

>not take 4% back on gas and 3% on restaurants yes? This is the same argument for using stuff like gmail. What, are you really gonna pay 20 bucks a year for email? I'm sure everyone's price to sell away their privacy is different but I'm a little off-put by how cheaply people are selling themselves these days. I hope it never becomes a problem (e.g. Stasi) but if it does I won't be crying for those people whose lives will be ruined.
