How many 'store' cards do you have?

Not credit cards, but a card that each individual store requires you to carry in order to receive the ‘ad special’ price?

In order to get a card, you have to fill out an application giving your name, address, phone number and email. At that point, you have given the store permission to harass you as much as they see fit. You have no cause for complaint, because you have provided the info willingly.

I find the cards extremely annoying, and stopped cold after about my fifth one. Walgreens is particularly bad, in my opinion, luring me in the store with specials on the flashing board and on advertising, then refusing to meet the price unless I have a card.

Recently I asked the woman behind me at Walgreens if she had a store card, and could I borrow it. She actually had an entire keyring full of nothing but individual store cards. That’s ridiculous.

Anyone else think ‘enough’s enough’? That they whole store card thing needs to turn into some form of rebellion?
