Rob@cockeyed.com got tired of using false names with grocery store membership cards and swapping them with friends so now he wants an army of clones.
Now I want to try something different. I want to take the credit for all of my shopping, and for your shopping too!
The key to this plan is the UPC on the back of the card. Typically when I use my Safeway card, the cashier swipes the card over his scanner. With a BEEP my card number is recorded, my savings deducted.
In November I registered a new card with my real name and address. Then I carefully photographed my card and printed the UPC onto a sheet of address labels. Send me an email with your address and I’ll send you a label with my membership number and bar code on it. When you get the label in the mail, stick it on the back of your own Safeway Club Card, carefully covering the old zebra stripes.
The next time you shop at Safeway, your card will link your purchases to my club card number! Your old Safeway Club identity will be gone forever, just like in that movie Eraser, with Arnold Schwarzenegger.. unless you swipe your card through the magnetic reader. Anyone who does this will be lumping their shopping data together with mine. Together we might amass a profile of the single greatest shopper in the history of mankind.
In return I promise to post photos of anything we earn related to the Safeway Club:Â 5% discount coupons, free turkey certificates, jewel-encrusted scepters, etc.
