Do you collect reward points, like Amazon points or supermarket loyalty cards? I do, but these days I’ve simplified my system. I used to have more than five supermarket loyalty cards, and they were all prepaid cards, but now I only have one.
I still go to other supermarkets, but there I mainly use my credit card and collect reward points. I’ve given up collecting points from individual stores, and instead I mainly use my credit card to earn reward points, which I then use for other purposes.
My main credit card is issued by a telecommunications company, and I usually use the points I earn to pay my cellphone bill.
On the other hand, I’m a member of Amazon Prime, and here in Japan members can enjoy many services, such as free shipping, so the membership fee is definitely worth it.
I can also listen to Amazon Music and watch Amazon Prime Video. However, although these services are very convenient.
I once had a credit card used fraudulently—not by skimming, but in some other way—and fortunately the card company noticed it and stopped the transactions. Still, I had to get a new card and update all my payment information, which was quite a hassle.
I’ve also heard that Amazon accounts can sometimes be used without permission.
Because of this, although convenience has improved a lot, dealing with security has become stressful, and recently I’ve started to wonder whether I’ll be able to handle things properly if something like that happens again in the future.
Having store cards are safer, I think recently,
