This works for cases where just being a member gets a lower price, but at least some stores have digital coupons that need to be added to my account. This would not work with a generic card. It is definitely a good tip for stores where it does work though.

Grocery store rewards programs. I know they are designed to link purchases to me, but the financial savings is worth the loss of privacy for me.

I have been using Brave Search for over a year and have been very pleased with the results. I have also seen a lot of good things about Kagi, but it does require a subscription.
