Great Insider Secret on Preferred Customer Card

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX

 


Have you heard of those “preferred customer cards”? These cards that can be found in the drug stores and grocery stores?  Did you know that they gather all the information pertaining to your purchase such as foods, alcohol and medications you purchased and then they will obtain all this information and sell it?

Try to guess who can be able to purchase this confidential information about you. EVERYONE! Examples of them are the marketing people and insurance companies.

Keep in mind when you filled out your preferred customer card, you provide your name, address and phone number. Do you think your insurance company and anyone have a idea regarding what products and medications you purchased last week and even your purchases year?

Next time, if anyone asked to get a preferred customer card that requires too much information just provide only your correct name.

Please spread this tips particularly to those individual who is buying a new home or refinancing their recent home. They will surely thank you for it.

I’m willing to help, your friends and even your family with no hidden scheme like the issuers of the following preferred customer cards.

I am very concerned about privacy issues and providing too much data without knowing where and how it will be used.  Therefore, I use some alias email accounts with cryptic details that are close but not quite true so I can tell where they are selling my data.  For example, please feel free to scrape my email address at "myemailspam@cableone.net"  It is a live email address that I have checked twice in a decade.  It is great for online forms that require a live email address to activate.  I have one another one for Craigslist since those ads generate a ton of spam as well.  For birthdays and years, you might put down the first day of the month you were born and subtract a year or a decade.  I have a friend that does that on Facebook and she gets a kick out of the people that wish her a happy birthday on her "fake" day.  Her true friends know the real date.
