supermarket club cards (lemmings.world)

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!

They can and do associate cards with vehicles and use facial recognition. any attempt to circumvent the data harvesting is a waste of your time more than theirs ... for loyalty point cards.

People in this thread seem to have base discount cards, which are perfectly fine to swap around a group but points cards tend to have a bulk discount that accumulates over time and swapping would be a very bad idea.
