Kroger too

You have to log in with an account and “clip” the imaginary coupons in their app for the price to apply when you scan your card

I'm less mad about those since it's basically just price discrimination. If you are price sensitive enough that you're willing to clip the coupon then you get the cheaper price.

And feature phones (aka dumbphones) have been seeing a sales uptick. I wouldn't say they're popular, but there are people without smartphones who are excluded from these types of coupons.
