This is the kebab shop business model in Europe, is it really that rare to find simple loyalty cards with stamps where you live (assuming USA)?

- bitwize 9y agoThis is the USA we're talking about, where if an unethical way to wring out more dollars doesn't have a law explicitly forbidding it (and there are laughably few such laws here), it WILL be used against you. I know of a few places that have simple stamp loyalty cards. Oftentimes they are mom and pop shops, or chains still finding their footing. Most cards are electronic and want a name and phone number associated with them.
- marnett 9y agoApp loyalty cards, while still having some information on you, are largely about large merchants (ie starbucks) avoiding credit card interchange fees by giving rewards for people who load money to the app and purchase from there. So, all incentives are not against consumers. The merchants avoid the credit card oligopoly fee and pass on the rewards to consumers.

- VyseofArcadia 9y agoLoyalty stamp cards are pretty common, but most chains (Starbucks etc.) have loyalty apps instead of loyalty cards.
