The cards raise the prices in the stores, just as green stamps did in the past.
The people who get hit the hardest are those that refuse the cards, but the cardholders pays more for an item *with* the card, then they did before the cards were put into place.

Even if they don't have proper information the purchases can be traced back to you and there is concern that those records could be obtained in law suits against the holder.
I don't shop at such stores unless I can't find the item anywhere else. The last time this happened was at a Safeway and what I wanted was a dollar over the suggested list price.
Using fake ID would, in a case like this, be considered fraud.
