I'm with you on the privacy issues, but you are actually getting a cheaper ride home.
At $10 and living in Hataitai my card would be paid off in a couple of weeks, and the 25% discount would save me a couple of hundred a year.
And what you're giving them in return for the discount is payment in advance, same as now with their other concession schemes.
Tell you what though: I would like the Privacy Commissioner to make a statement. In theory, Snapper are not allowed to use your data for those kinds of nefarious datamatching without your consent; I would like to be sure they can't change the terms and conditions later and require your consent as a condition of issue ("when you use your Snapper you agree to let us ...").
