   Our pet healthcare credit card (side note: 🤬🤬🤬) just emailed that we can now get 5X points to redeem for other things.

   Listen, team. I understand you're trying to build engagement and monetization opportunities. You're a credit card. That’s part of how you make money. I get it. But I’ll be goddamned if I want to pay for part of my new shoes with the points I earned from having my cat's infected tooth pulled. I do not want this.

     @StanWonn Once when our pup was sick, I did the math and it literally would have been half the price to fly first class to the Midwest, stay in a fancy hotel, have her treated there, and fly home.

     @tek I am just never gonna get over the idea that we are encouraged (even expected) to incur credit card debt for *healthcare* expenses. What a "great" country we have here.

     @tek I laughed out loud when I read that. You have a good point. I’ve never looked at it that way.
