Like why does Kroger want me to get a Kroger’s card so bad
Idk maybe I’m just being too paranoid But why do they want to give me free stuff

They’re trying to capture the consumer surplus. Normally, a seller can have either high margins and low volume, or low margins and high volume. The retailers wet dream is to get the benefits of both. If the reward program profiles you as someone who buys coffee at $4.00, but not at $6.00, you’ll get coupons for coffee that the people who buy coffee every week regardless of price won’t get.
FWIW, I’ve found stores that don’t even have rewards cards frequently have lower prices than their competitors’ reward card sale prices.
This is the import fact to get from this thread
I’ve especially seen this with groceries. There are several choices, meaningful competition, and I find the stores that don’t push rewards cards tend to have better prices, even after counting the rewards
