I've been moving more of my purchases back to cash. Not that I'm purchasing anything nefarious -- well, until I consider how e.g. purchasing medication X may be used against me, something I consider to be nefarious on the part of these companies doing and using said data mining.
Anyway, not that I'm purchasing anything nefarious. But to hell with them.
P.S. I also occasionally think about the 2-5% price markups we universally face, put in place to compensate for credit card processing fees. Although there are valid counterarguments about the risk and cost for businesses, and people in more personally vulnerable environments, of handling cash.
