Foodtown / Woollies Onecard - It Knows What You've Bought....

[mstriumph]

use mine maybe 3 times a week.........

the card? ........... or the frozen chicken??

Ooh, but the dilemma......the quicker STR collects points for the buying of his chickens, the quicker he gets a free chicken......what to do, what to do.....

The other dilemma is that you can re-freeze the chicken and save money, but then you can't eat it afterwards......

well if i was goign to buy anything i didnt want people to know about i would use cash and wouldnt use some kind of loyalty card.

Good plan... the same tech that they use with the loyalty card can incredibly easily be used with eftpos/credit cards. Unique numbers are great

The one card has only ever been a method of collecting marketing data about who, where, how, and what people are buying so there advertising can reflect this and target specific audiences, now the decided to let us see what we brought as well via the majic of the inter web thingiee.

But hey as long as I keep getting my discounts Ill keep usig it

It can also be used to measure the effect of advertising campaigns and methods. I personaly don't have a problem with what is recorded by way of sales items. I can't see the point of showing what you have bought via the web.

With the prices that foodtown and woolworths charge, it is a necessity to get a "one card" to reduce the pain slightly.
I happily spend my $$$'s elsewhere, but when an urgent (half way through making dinner and realise... "uh-oh, where's the xyz"???) purchase is needed, only then will I use woolworths!

Itsw like that with all your cards tho, Eftpos, Visa, loyalty cards, they know EVERY phone call you make and recieve, probably even monitor how many times you flush your toilet LMAO

Saw a thing on news where theres some analysts looking at how people text so that in a forenzic examination they can prove a person was at a particular location by the text messages they made at the time, they are looking at the way people text, the shortened words they use etc and can compare it with every text you have made, combined with which repeater reciever picked up teh text and place the person near the place of the offence ....... goooooooooooo big brother

talking about big brother, in my rig (which won top truck for 2006 ) ( no skiting much ) they have GPS and can tell what speeds im doing, where I am, where I stop and if I turn motor off, my driving habits etc etc..... but hey .... its like speed cameras.... if you doing nothing wrong they arent a problem eh

That's all nothing compared to the lists of porn site visits that the ISP's have logged for 88% of the population! I can see the court case now......

"Sir you are charged with sex with a cow".
"Innocent your honour"
"May we introduce exhibit one, regular visits to www.cowerotica.com"
"I plead insanity your honour"
"Insanity?"
"Yeah, I'm just crazy about that cow"
"Baliff, whack his pee-pee"

My dilemma exactly. My local pack n save has a crap selection and is very busy.
