    I have a folder of these things and I hate using them but in a lot of cases you’re over paying if you don’t use their apps or missing out on free shit and honestly every dollar counts in my situation lol

      It’s not really “free” and the economic coercion is intentional. I understand your precarity but I fucking hate that it’s made that way.

        Yeah I shouldn’t have said free, i was just thinking about how they frame the rewards at the time and really meant reduced cost but yeah that’s exactly what it is. they do have people over a barrel and definitely should be illegal
