If you do this you also need to be sure to pay with cash, or other anonymous cards, because they’ll also link your payment details if I recall correctly (perhaps not this brand, but most others will).

Yes, retailers can and do link/track purchases against card numbers. But this is true regardless of whether you're a member of a loyalty scheme or not. Also, if you use Apple Pay / Android Pay, a device account number (DAN) is generated that is different from your physical card number. I'm not sure whether retailers get a name from such a transaction, but I suspect they just get the card number?

  It’s even more annoying than that, the various Card companies sell your data too! It’s a hot mess.
