    its the same with boot, why dont people have an advantage card

    Some people simply don't want their details given out to companies or to have their spending habbits tracked.
  • And others don't want a wallet full of plastic.

    I do the Tesco card but the Boots one would be very rarely used so i don't bother.

    I have the keyring type Clubcard and Nectar cards now. Much better for carrying around but not much use when you fill up the car and can't use the PayAtPump option :-(

    When I'm at the Sainsbury's checkout and the person about to pay infront doesn't want their Nectar points or school vouchers(when the offer is on) I always ask if I can have them added to my card as "I'm saving up to buy the kids something" Never had anybody say no yet - For added impact, take a child with you!!!
    One hundred years from now it won't matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in the bank, nor what my clothes looked like but the world may be a little better because, I was important in the life of a child.

    I don't have any of these cards. Had them in the past, but gradually ditched them. I prefer saving money on my own terms.

    I totally wouldn't mind if someone wanted to use my purchase to get points though. Apart from loving the idea of helping someone out, I like the thought of screwing up the company's marketing profiles with my shopping!
