minus-squareLink@rentadrunk.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-24 days agoCorrect me if I’m wrong but Apple Pay, (not sure about Android Offerings), randomises the card number on every purchase. This makes it difficult for companies to track you hence why they want you to scan the loyalty card. I’ve been using my parents’ and colleagues’ loyalty cards instead. While I don’t get the points I do get the discount.
