don’t use benefit cards (or use them collectively).

Benefit cards are used to track your behavior as a customer. If you avoid using them, you don’t allow companies to build a user profile based on your shopping behavior. One good option to avoid companies applying user profiles is to share benefit cards with friends, partners, or family.

Benefit cards can generally be avoided, but being asked for them also offers the possibility to explain to cashiers and other people why you don’t use them. So, if you are interested in tactics that allow you to interact with people, this tactic is for you.
