Here I am trying to keep the books balanced, so we can eat--buy groceries-- I wonder if all those points are really worth it, when people can just "hack" into one's account?-- I am tempted to stop gathering all these points---How did these horrible people do this----and even from a different city far away from where I even live?
Do any of you pick up points , from a grocery?-- points that are worth money-?--But--are they really worth collecting when it can cause so much hassle?-- You see, I could not even try to correct the situation, because it wads a weekend-
Anyway--it is mild--NO SNOW FALLING-- a bonus-- and wee little crazy Chihuahua, ran and ran outside this AM-- -
OK--Our internet provider will call me back in 5 minutes---- changing passwords for me--- Lord love a Duck!--Think I will cut up that stupid points card-- Its not worth the trouble it has caused me--
Gosh darn it..sneaky, dishonest people trying to get something that belongs to you. Leaves you with a mess to straighten out and try to detangle. I hate that happened to you. Yes. I save up points on credit card and grocery store. I don't like giving out my personal information but at the time it sounds like a good idea. Sigh
ReplyDeleteGlad its not snowing up there. We have rain today. A lazy kind of day.
Stay well and warm. Play your piano.
Hugs
Oh Margene--- The internet provider was so patient with me--changed my email code also, in case they had hacked into it--this whole thing has taken hours to sort out-- lynda
DeleteGood heavens! Sorry about the hullabaloo w/the points.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you!
Hugs

Barb--- whatta hassle--- -- I had to even change my email password-- Lynda
DeleteWhat a mess, glad it was finally cleared up! Hope no blizzards for awhile..
ReplyDeleteI will never use that PC optimum card again--for the little bit pof $$$ I collect, it is just not worth it Lynda
DeleteGood afternoon, Lynda,
ReplyDeleteOur store gives dollars off of our receipt when we check out. You can't save them up. It does sound like a mess. So sorry that you have one more hassle to deal with. It is raining here in Michigan, but it is not that cold-37 degrees. Hubby and I are going shopping this afternoon. Have a good day and give himself a big hug from me!
Sorry that happened to you. It is frustrating that all of these things happen nowadays. Ahh! I can see little Lopez running around. I am SO sad today, Lynda. We had to put our older yorkie down today. He still was only 10. I sure hope time will help. Keep us in your thoughts. Thanks and hugs to you!:)
ReplyDeleteOh I am so sorry about you putting your dear doggie to sleep-- It is such a difficult thing to do----- but ibis the right thing that you did-- big hugs to yum-lynda
DeleteThank you, Lynda. I really appreciate your kind words.
DeleteSorry you got hacked Lynda...as far as I know we don't have anything like that here ....hope you get everything straightened out.
ReplyDeleteOh Darlene--This was a first for me---to get "hacked"-- I changed several passcodes-- Hope it never happens again-Lynda
DeleteMaking life easier is the key to happiness I believe. Our grocery stores near us do give points but you need to use them to get a discount on your gas. I do most of my grocery shopping at Target and with my Target Card I get 5% off. Saves me a little and the prices are cheaper, but the selection is not as good.
ReplyDeleteIt is such a difficult thing to have to change everything once they "hack" you-but--I did it-- Took all morning th-Lynda
DeleteNothing is safe…we got a letter that our dermatology group was hacked and patient info was taken…geez!! I had my credit card number used in a state far away within minutes of using it in FL…luckily, the bank called to question! What a mean and crazy way to mess with innocent people just trying to get along, right?! Sorry this took up so much of your time…you didn’t need the hassle! ❤️ Eissa7
ReplyDeleteYes, I guess it happens all over but it such a mess to clean up--Lynda
DeleteSo sorry you got hacked. To answer your question, I do collect points at my grocery, but they are not worth money, they are worth cents off on gasoline! Still, that's like money, isn't it? Same with the points at the drug store... worth dollars in store credit. I've been lucky so far. One time someone hacked my Yahoo account, but since they were logged in from a foreign country, I was able to log them out, change my password, and carry on.
ReplyDeleteYes, I had to change passwords on my email and on the Optimum account-- such a mess !-- Lynda
DeleteI have an optimum card and use my points mostly at Shoppers on their bonus days. I just found out from at cashier at Loblaws that you can use your points there when you check out to pay your bill. Also get gas at Esso I think. Don't save up so someone can steal. I can't believe how many people/organizations are getting hacked constantly. World sure has changed. Glad Lopez was having fun outside. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteOh Brenda --It took most of this morning to unravel the mess from whoever it was who got into my Optimum account-- and they were in Toronto--so far from here-- Be careful-Lynda
DeleteLynda, I have no idea what a PC account is. I do have cards (or dangles on my key chain) I use to get perks of one kind or another. My major supermarket gives point each week on different products. Those can be used for a gas discount at their gas station.
ReplyDeleteMild here, too...In the mid 30sF and RAINING! If it all freezes again tonight, it will be very slippery.
Happy Lopez loves it...bet Beau does, too. I would just love to see how they react when spring comes!
I retested for Covid...AND I AM NEGATIVE! Lingering fatigue of course. I am feeling better every day.
Hope you are all fine, too.
Did the trip go okay yesterday with Himself?
{{{HUGS}}}
Yes the trip for groceries with Himself went well-- but he waits in the car--so happy yu tested negative for covid---- Are yu feeling OK now---- We are So good to hear from yu-WE are supposed to get freezing rain tomorrow-Lynda
DeleteJust battling the post covid fatigue, Lynda. I read if your case was mild, it should go away after 2 or 3 weeks.
DeleteI use to be so faithful with PC points until I saw that I had to collect only the offers they gave me and not what I was shopping on so I don't really bother much, my grocery store switched cards and I didn't bother getting the new one as I know it is more for information for them. I collect cash on using my credit card and that works just fine for me.
