Computerworld - Jody Stevenson doesn't know she's been using location-based technology -- and doesn't care. "I've been having a ball for almost a year," says the New Jersey homemaker. She enhances her shopping experiences with a service called Shopkick, which gives her loyalty points (convertible to gift cards and cash) just for walking into a participating store. Or, rather, an app on her smartphone (if she has remembered to invoke it) decides that it is inside a participating store, and rewards her with loyalty points (called "kicks"); the amount varies by individual store and the promotional policies of that store. She also gets varying points for scanning bar codes of specific merchandise, whether she buys the items or not. More>>>>>

Reminds me of the guy in the Uk years ago. He noticed his points were worth double than what he paid for for bananas. So he was buying cartloads every day, and giving them away. He still came out well on top, until the supermarket twigged it. He still kept all his points tho:)
