1. A single universal consumer identity and savings card program that replaces multiple separate card programs provided by chain retailers, comprising:
a consumer customer loyalty card that represents all their customer loyalty cards combined into one card, wherein the card is encrypted in its magnetic strip so that when a customer is making a purchase at one member retailer such as a pharmacy or grocery chain, the scanning apparatus at that chain reads the customer's identifying barcode and enter their purchasing data only into that chain's database. |
