@peterl Why is that? The primary card has more benefits?

@samcharrington I read that AMEX points are 0.7c, hence my assumption. Thanks for confirming.

Also, a question for all my US friends out there: do you use an Apple Card? Are you happy with it? Any feedback (even in private) would be appreciated.

Is it me or the Apple Card 2% cashback program is significantly better than the AMEX Shop with Points (the Amazon program)? I know it’s not an apple-to-apple comparison, but that’s the scenario I’m interested in.

It’s such a shame to see global businesses like @UberEats, which have been allowed to operate during the #COVID19 lockdown by the @MayorofLondon, using shady cost-cutting tricks at the expenses of the citizens. More people should use @OmbudAssoc

I never looked at that word in that way, so I got curious and checked. According to The Chambers Dictionary of Etymology, always at the side of my bed, “blacklisted” originally meant “edged with black” in 1457. It started to mean “ostracized” from 1884. https://t.co/TEAzdtn795

Correlate these two pictures. The first is a letter sent by the prime minister to all citizens (Mar 28) as the UK government enforced the #COVID19 lockdown. The second is today’s chart compiled by @nytimes and sorted by “density of death” (Jun 13).

Reading the daily justifications for the stock market fluctuations that the FT (and many others) publishes is one of the most entertaining things you can do in these dark times. I’ll call them #EphemeralTruths.

If a person would be trying to do this in a hurry, maybe after a security breach, that person would be hopelessly exposed for weeks or months because online services are so uncooperative.
