Just one question how do they intend to make money, is this some form of spyware that collects my data and sells it on? I don’t use a loyality card here in the UK because I discovered that Tesco Stores makes more money selling trend data to its suppliers about its customers than it does selling to the customers!

It was the one and only time that something I said found its way into a piece of commercial software. But apparently success has many fathers.
