Protip: Many grocery stores allow you to just grab cards without signing up (in the US at least). You can tell them you'll send it in later.
Then, you can use whatever the fuck info you want and still get the "rewards" so it's not attached to you. If you use the apps on your phone, make sure they don't have bluetooth access.
Why not to have Bluetooth access?
I am guessing Bluetooth beacon tracking
