They're already collecting our data.  Don't need a special card for that.

Sure they have data but if you have a card they know your name, sex,
age, address and they have a long list of items that you regularly
purchase.  That gives their marketing department or agency all sorts of
demographic info to be used to target you and your demographic. 

They usually target me with "$10 off your next order over $30" coupons.

I
suppose that if we were really naive we could convince ourselves that it
is in order to find better ways to serve us, but it s  more likely to
find ways to trick you into trying some new product.

As if the printed coupons in the newspaper didn't do exactly that.
