Fair enough, but they know what you bought.

Yes, but you can also do a chargeback if the company you purchased from sold you a lousy product and isn’t being reasonable about returning it. If you had paid with cash, that cash is GONE.

Each method has its pros and cons.

If you had paid with cash, that cash is GONE.

not if I have a receipt.

And? How has that harmed you overall?

Not saying I like that they track everything but I’ve yet to see it impact me personally.
