No-Cards Message & Table Of Contents

Many thanks to all of you who have studied this site, contributed to it, and participated in our supermarket shopper card protest. I hope that you will continue to boycott shopper card stores and to speak out about unfair and intrusive business practices wherever you find them. Special thanks to Amador Publishers for hosting our extensive No-Cards Shoppers pages. To clear the way for new features on their site, I am trimming down this No-Cards section to a small set of essays and price studies which present the case against customer ID schemes and discriminatory two-tiered pricing. Please visit the websites listed above for ongoing discussion and reporting of shopper card developments and related consumer and privacy issues.
