Hey I'm sure you all know how sketchy club cards are for collecting your data. But I do begrudge paying slightly higher prices just for valuing my privacy. I was wondering if there was any way to sign up to these things whilst limiting the data they have access to. Would it be enough to sign up with fake details and never use their apps? Or should I just give up on this all together? Thanks!

standard is treat them the same way you used to treat Netflix logins – one club card number gets shared among family and friends

EDIT: no one ever used their own Netflix login and no one ever uses their own club card number
