BINGO! Just sent this to Rite Aid about their Plenti program:

Yesterday I was at Rite Aid & bought some Planters Whole Cashews because they were on sale for $8.99 (reg $16.49). The transaction occurred at 2:38PM

At 2:51PM I recv'd an email from Amazon that said: "Here are personalized recommendations for you based on items you purchased or reviewed..." and the 1st item on the list was Planters Deluxe Whole Cashews for $9.99 (everyday price). A friend pointed out to me that it was probably Plenti sharing my info with Amazon. I just opted out of Plenti sharing my data with anyone. This is not your or Plenti's fault. It's mine for not checking the privacy options when I signed up.

But my point is this: You give a customer's info to Plenti & they then share it with their partners. In my case, who do you think I'm going to buy cashews from the next time I need some? Amazon's everyday price is $6.50 less than Rite Aid's. I have a Prime account, so it's free 2 day shipping. I'd be a moron to buy them from Rite Aid.

So thanks for letting me know I should shop at Amazon & not Rite Aid!

From what I'm reading, it's a hardware problem. I know my Apple warranty has past, but I think we have something thru Verizon. My other concern is that dummy hasn't backed up his phone in a LOOOOOOOOONG time
