Where I live, we don’t yet have those cards. I despise the idea of them and hate getting caught out by them (I’m looking at you Tesco and Lidl).
Normal price for something - 0.49 (in stores without these cards) But in their store it’s only that price with their ‘club card’ or ‘plus membership’.
Otherwise it’s 1.59
There are loads of other items with high markups.
BUT - the marked price is the normal store price to the inexperienced shopper of these data collecting stores, with the blind spot being the need to have a store card to get the ‘discount’. My full shop was an extra 103.46 altogether between the two stores (51.22 in one 52.24 in the other) rushing to get christmas dinner and dining and extras. Should be banned. /rant

I’ve always used the first one. Every store seems to have it registered a billion times. They sometimes say “woah there’s 100s of people on this number” and I just tell them to pick one. They never care.
Yeh I’ve alwahs appreciated how these loyalty cards and memberships etcetera don’t insist of verifying or anything. Most just want an email so I just use a generator or make one up on the spot. It’s good too because they often have cheap deals for signing up today.
I will try to see if something like that is available.
I’d appreciate it if you could let us know if you find anything
I didn’t find anything in the UK, but I found in Ireland cardnado.ie I don’t know if UK cards work in Ireland or vice versa.
