That's what I used to do, but a good portion of the time they'd continue their spiel to try to change my mind.

Where are you shopping where you are routinely encountering cashier's that are this pushy about the apps? The overwhelming majority of cash register attendance are underpaid employees that are just trying to get you through the line. They said the line because they have to say the line, but most have no intention of really trying to sell you on it.

Once upon A time, these things were just rewards programs, with the key ring bullshit. Were you signing up for each and every one of them too?
