    What next, ID verification required to open an Argos catalogue? Go into Tesco? Although, Tesco already charge you more if you are under 18 as children can’t join their card system

      Shhh… Dont give them new ideas. I mean they’re already following 1984 by the book.

      Side note, loyalty systems are a capitalist sham that should effectively be scrapped.

      Can under-18s hold many loyalty discount cards? I expect co-op stores allow it from 16, as they’ve been supporting votes at 16 for years.

        Its due to laws on data harvesting on children. If coop doesn’t harvest that data then they could give them to children too. Tbh more people should probably be mad at Tesco for harvesting that data, but they don’t.

          Yeah, co-op are likely being all ethical again. Or trying to.

          Look at the checkout conveyor dividers in Morrisons some time: they literally say “Morrisons More Card: more conveyor snooping” or something similar. People just don’t realise the cost.
