Buying gasoline is an exception--they actually use the zip to make sure the right person is using the card.
Everyone else is using it for marketing. They will know everything about you. They don't need it for the transaction.
If they want it that badly, and refuse to sell you something--maybe you should buy the product somewhere else, or do without?
By the way, you can always give the general zip for your area (downtown.) Or your place of biz, if you're feeling generous. I just hate all this attention to where I am. It's none of your damn business where I live, or where I am.
I guess I'm a privacy throwback. Thanks to
originalkitsune for finding this!
