I'm guessing this is why many grocery stores don't allow NFC payments, except for (in my area at least) Safeway, whose non-club pricing is so punitive that most people just knuckle under and get the card.
Though I just use 867-5309 anyway. Works in every area code, AFAICT.
- fennecfoxen 5y ago"Forgot card" often works too!
- rootusrootus 5y agoThat's good to know. Another trick I used to use was just to tell the cashier that I forgot my card, and she'd grab a spare and swipe it. Then they started doing phone numbers, so that probably doesn't work as well now.
- dabbledash 5y ago$local_area_code-867-5309 is almost always registered. No reason to sign up for your own card.

- kevinmgranger 5y agoHow do NFC payments relate to it?
- kube-system 5y agoI was at a self-checkout recently that required a store rewards membership to checkout at. I tried 867-5309 but form validation required both a phone number and a last name. I guess retailers are catching on.
- thedrbrian 5y agoCan you not just make a fake account? That David Smithee sure does buy a lot of stuff all over the UK :D .
- 29083011397778 5y agoI know it's not exactly a last name, but... did you try the "standard" name for that number? I can't imagine nobody else thought of signing up like that, so unless the store explicitly blacklisted certain numbers, I'd think it worth a shot.
