Plane ticket prices are the cutting edge, but this will spread elsewhere. Ultimately every interaction you have will be adjusted to reflect your status, income etc. 
e.g. if you are allergic to peaches you will get a discount while buying them.[/quote]

Again, this isn't anything substantively new- just price discrimination and consumer targeted marketing/pricing.  When I don't order from Uber Eats in a while I get promo codes to induce me back in.  Airlines introduced the "Saturday night stay" requirement in the 80s to discriminate between business and leisure travelers, who have very different price sensitivity.

Consumer marketing/targeting from 2012:

There are of course limits and you can't convince people to pay any price for anything.
