When I signed up for a major grocery store rewards card, I was able to put a bogus name on the form. How can they correlate my purchases with me specifically? Can they correlate the charges to my credit card with the times the rewards card was used?

(This grocery store did not have a pharmancy)



Credit card or check payments will link records.

Cellphone or MAC tracking.

In the near future if not already, facial recognition.
