I'm perfectly willing to forego those and other "perks" - it's not worth
it to me to give them any real personal information. A lot of stores
though are getting away from such mailings and using emailed coupons (you
can always use a free random address for this) or just spitting out
special deals along with your receipt at point of purchase.

Basically they are buying information and I'm not selling.
