Comment on ‘The tyranny of apps’: those without smartphones are unfairly penalised, say campaigners
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 1 month agoLoyalty cards werent a great thing either.
They werent to reward your loyalty, they were to tie your purchase history to an individual, So that information can be used and sold for marketing purposes.
It was basically the prototype for the invasive, information stealing apps we have today.

Can’t your purchases be tied to you via credit/debit card number? I mean obviously you can use cash, but I don’t see a lot of people using cash

yes, that still doesnt give the store your home address, phone number, etc etc like signing up for a rewards card does.
