Speaking of Sears credit cards, I have become greatly annoyed at Sear's
efforts to get me to apply for their credit card, to the point that
given a reasonable choice, I will shop elsewhere.  When I have gone to
Sears, I politely ask the cashiers to inform their management that I do
not appreciate their badgering in the hope that other people are doing
the same and that eventually Sears would get the message.

Does anyone know why Sears persists with this practice to the point of
driving customers away?  Is anyone else but me concerned that Sears
will shortly (or already does) have the credit history of 95+% of the
adults in this country?  Paranoia is one thing, but in the wrong
hands ...
