A related and greater rip-off is the discount cards that give you coupons after a purchase. Consumers become addicted to these "deals" that make it seem as if they're paying a very small amount for something. When in fact they paid up-front with the original overpriced purchase. It amounts to an interest-free loan to the retailer that is paid back to you with those coupons.
- chippy 8y agoThese cards are the original data tracking example as by using the cards you give the retailer all your data including demographics of your age and location etc. From what I recall retailers cannot use your credit card purchase history for this, you have to use opt in and use the "loyality" cards.
