Honestly they are bad for trickery. It is a grocery store card that you use in the store for members pricing. Card costs you nothing, just allows them to better target and track your purchases which can be a good thing.
Main store I use (raleys) does not have a card system in place. Now both competing grocery stores do (safeway and holiday). Safeway is notorius for its buy one get one free members discounts, 50% off basicly. Problem is non members price for an item is often about a lil more than double what raleys charges every day. So even with the 50% discount and getting two items, you paid more per unit than if you would have shopped at raleys.
Its a screwed up percieved discount system. You end up with more than you need, it also cost more, and you freely gave the store very valuable targeted marketing data.
