 Do you have loyalty programs in the form of rewards miles or hotel points? 

You may be surprised to learn those points (Starbucks, Marriott, Hyatt, Delta, AA etc) can have an #inflation rate of 30-50%!

Thank you to Ian Major of Joltz for breaking it down for us and how #Bitcoin can fix this...
Let's all earn sats instead!⚡️

 I remember being mystified when these programs debuted and everyone was excited because truly any coupons resembling buy 10 get 1 free (which these obviously are except with one added layer of abstraction— point gamification / obfuscation) are *fundamentally* designed to make you buy more than you need, so I never got into it. Same reason why I’ll never buy amaz*n prime. I order only what I absolutely need when I have to pay shipping every time.

 And forgot 😂 my point was this probably has saved me a ton of money compared to the coupon/points chasers

 Only reward ever ended up collecting is air miles and they’re commonly a joke too. Just give good product and service
