Hi.
going to compile anything on my desktop anyway. And if it collects any marketing stats, so what, everyone is doing that, and we're helping them (Coop Supercard for example). There's nothing bad about companies knowing better what I might buy from them :-)
Well... Actually, the Supercard (and the Cumulus as well) are quite easy to "exploit" and throw a monkey wrench up Coops and Migros database.
I have both cards but I share them with my parents. That is one thing, one can do, share the card.
Then, I don't have the card with me all of the time. (In fact I do have them with me, but oh well...). In that case, if the grandma before or after me has a card, I just ask her if she wants my Cumulus points on her account. Sure they do, classical win-win situation. She is happy, Migros database is confused (what does the 90 year old lady buys beer, CD-Rs and condoms for?) and the clerk won't mind anyway.
This also works the other way. If someone at the checkout does not have a card, why not ask them, if you can have their points on your account? Just ask nicely, most people without a card won't mind. Another win-win situation here.
