The EU/GDPR solution to that is definition of "freely given consent" where such discount treatment means that the "consent" doesn't count as a valid reason to permit processing data, as it was not freely given; and also by the requirement to be able to withdraw consent as easy it was to give it, at any time, and without adverse consequence, for example, one minute after receiving that discount.

Brazilian LGPD also mandates companies to provide channels for users to request their data to be deleted. Theoretically, one can ask their data to be deleted right after they received a discount. But I dont't know. I guess they would do everything they are entitled to in the interim, and by the time your data removal request is fulfilled, the damage is already done.
