Code

We used to love Walmart Plus back in the day because I don't know if people remember the glory days of Points and Miles.

When Walmart Plus meant you could scan and go and it would code as online groceries and earn three times the points.

That was glorious.

Those were the best.

Each week, I'll read a chapter for you, and my editor and I will then discuss what was going on afterwards.

You're listening to My Three Husbands, Chapter 8, The Code on the Board.

Some messages hide in plain sight.

So do some men.

And I'm Jo.

We're two busy moms who have cracked the code on travel with Points and Miles.

This is Wonderland

it comes with no automatic status it comes with no welcome boat like again like i i think and i say this with love to build like again i think that they've created one of the most complete and comprehensive credit cards on the planet in the palladium i think that the blue is a solid introductory card i think the ink i think the obsidian is a little bit incomplete in its value proposition it can make sense for it can make sense for some people like if you have a Chase Sapphire Preferred, and you basically want to accumulate some Chase points and get the 3X on dining via Chase, and you want to do the 3X on groceries via the Built, well, I actually think that the Built Obsidian is easier to use for groceries than the Chase Sapphire Preferred, because the Chase Sapphire Preferred is really for online groceries only for that 3X.

So you have to pay, let's say you get a Whole Foods, you have to pay via the Whole Foods app.

for it to code as an online transaction and for you to get the 3X for your grocery spend.

Whereas you could just walk into Whole Foods, if you've elected to get the 3X on groceries from the Built Obsidian, you can just walk into Whole Foods, swipe your card, you're going to get the 3X, you don't need to think about it.

And if you need my driver's license...

I'm trapped inside a high-tech digital jail Two-factor, two-factor Ruining my day I just wanna log in Why you gotta make me pay?

Let me get back to what I came here for.

Code expired.

Already? In fact, a last small favor Don't make me call my own behavior No more buses, bikes or math Just let me through and clear the path If security is making me mad It's working, yeah, I know how bad I

Today's code word is? Code word.

I have two SIMs in my phone.

And if you normally turn off a phone, you need to unlock that SIM code in order for it to get connectivity, which I personally don't find that useful.

I understand it, but I don't find it that useful.

So I don't have a SIM code on my personal SIM card, which makes it as soon as you turn it on, it immediately tries to get connectivity.

Which is really useful in this case because they turned it on and it had connectivity.

And the downside risk may be that they'll use it.

And if your phone is already in loss mode, good luck trying to get that eSIM out.

So use
