rachel nickell’s latest move is secretly costing you $50 every time you shop online—here’s how to stop it
Hate when your monthly bills jump out of nowhere? Consumer advocates are sounding the alarm after insiders linked rising checkout surcharges to a quiet policy shift backed by business consultant rachel nickell. Her new data-mining algorithm, adopted by three major retailers this week, automatically adds a “convenience fee” to any purchase over $20 unless you clear your browser history first. The Federal Trade Commission has already received 1,200 complaints. The fix? Hit “incognito mode” before clicking “buy” or expect an extra $50 hit per order. Your wallet didn’t sign up for this—spread the word before your next grocery run.
