The store I use has a card. If they are tracking me, I don't really
care if they know vanilla is my favorite ice cream flavor. They do send
me and email every Thursday though, with the latest coupons. I can load
them on my card and they are applied automatically at checkout. They
often have freebies on new products. Last week I got cream cheese,
nutrition bar, yogurt snack. Saved another $5 because I spent $40.

As long as they stick with once a week and no third part stuff, I'm ok
with it.
