YOU don’t sign up with the number. You don’t sign up at all. When you get to the checkout, you enter that number and get 20 cents off your can of Yoda and R2D2-shaped Spaghettios and your Blazin’ Orange Mountain Dew (or whatever you were buying in 1981).

The only downside is that Jenny gets all of your fuel points. In fact Jenny buys so much stuff (probably at ten stores all at the same time) that her gas is down to about 92 cents a gallon.

I guess I was never much into the pop music scene.

I have had Fred Meyer/Kroger contact me to let me me know of a product recall.

Same for me with Giant Eagle, the supermarket I shop at. That was an unexpected benefit of their loyalty program.

I don’t mind them having my contact info. Fuel points, targeted coupons. But I only really use the one grocery store.

Maybe Jenny will sign up for a condo timeshare or something.
