Record numbers of white card holders in the United States, the impact of the outbreak and rule changes

New data show that applications for the federal government’s Medicaid program, known as white cards, have surged in the past year, leaving a record 74 million people with white cards, The Washington Post reported.

plastic business card printing

From February of last year to January of this year, white card registrations jumped by 9.7 million, according to data released by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

For one thing, many people lost their jobs during the epidemic, making them eligible for white card applications. On the other hand, a more important reason for the surge of applicants is a rule change.

The changes were part of the first bailout package last year. The change amounts to a “bargain” between the federal government and the states: states get extra federal money ahead of time to help people who expect to apply for white cards; In exchange, the states promised not to revoke anyone’s white card eligibility until the federal government ended the COVID-19 emergency.

As a result of these two factors, the number of white card holders has reached an all-time high of 74 million, even more than Medicare (red blue card); The latter currently benefits 63 million people.

White cards have income requirements for their beneficiaries. Before the epidemic, some people would sometimes qualify for a white card, sometimes not, depending on their income. But since the outbreak began, state governments have suspended regular checks of cardholders’ income.

Earlier, the Biden administration said the public health emergency would not end before the end of the year. When the federal government declares an end to the state of emergency, states will resume reviewing the income of white card beneficiaries.

SNCF has launched a new discount card for all adults

To change the company’s image and get more passengers on the train, Le Parisien newspaper reported. After a year of reflection and research, the French national railway company SNCF launched a new discount card on the afternoon of June 1.

transportation

All young people, adults and weekend travelers can use the “Carte Avantage” to enjoy discounts when purchasing tickets for TGV and Interites. Priced at 49 euros a year, each card offers a 30 percent discount for adult passengers and three children with discounts of up to 60 percent, except for single, childless passengers between the ages of 28 and 59 who travel on weekends. SNCF aims to limit the use of the card by professional customers, who usually book late and buy “golden tickets”.

Advantage card users will be able to buy tickets at the last minute, and they will also be able to check ticket prices in advance.

According to the new rules, from June 1, all weekend, family, youth and adult card users do not need to do anything, and they automatically become “Advantage Card” users. From June 17, all new users can join the “Advantage Card” group. A total of 2.5 million French people have SNCF discount cards, accounting for 28 percent of all high-speed and intercity trips, according to the survey. In addition, half of passengers take trains at most once a year, except during epidemics.

In the 18 months since COVID-19, SNCF has found that passengers are very positive about free refunds and exchanges. The company also found that passengers believe train ticket prices are opaque. Therefore, the company will notify buyers of the highest and lowest ticket prices for the trip through the ticketing website. “It’s a tool for transparency,” the company praises.

Why do supermarkets often engage in membership card discount promotions? The truth is …

Now almost every time I go to the supermarket
You can see discounted goods in a prominent position
Catch the holidays
Supermarkets will also have big discounts and big promotions

Have you ever thought about
Why do supermarkets often discount and cut prices?

Effective price positioning

Some customers go to the supermarket to choose and buy it after a long time, and some customers just grab one at hand. For supermarkets, it is best to use high prices to entice loyal (or lazy) customers, and then use low prices to attract bargain buyers. Because the middle price is not good: the price is not high enough to make more money from loyal customers; the price is not low enough to attract bargain buyers.

If prices remain stable, even the least price-sensitive customers will know where to buy cheap goods. So supermarkets cannot insist on high or low prices, but jump between the two extremes.

The price positioning strategy is effective because the special products of supermarkets are always changing, and it is too troublesome for customers to go to two supermarkets at one time.

Randomly increasing the price of a certain vegetable is also a common tactic in supermarkets. Customers who notice the price difference will buy other vegetables this week, and those who do not notice the price increase will be recruited!

The location of the product is different, the price is different

Once when I was looking for potato chips, I found that my favorite salty and spicy potato chips were just above the shelf, and below the shelf more than one meter away were potato chips of other flavors. The specifications were the same. The potato chips on the upper shelf were the same. The price is 25% higher. However, although there are differences in the prices of products with similar placement and specifications, many customers have not made comparisons. They are more concerned about having snacks. Of course, taste is important to some people.

This is a common phenomenon in supermarkets: they have many similar (or not very similar) alternatives, some are cheap, some are expensive, and the pricing is very random. Therefore, customers can only buy cheap goods by paying special attention and remembering to compare the prices of goods.

Tips for shopping in the supermarket

1. Buying large packages is not necessarily more cost-effective

I believe that many consumers will have the inertial thinking of “buying more than buying less,” in fact, the price of many products in large packages is more expensive than small packages. This situation mostly exists in snack foods, such as beverages, potato chips and so on.

Supermarkets use the psychological “halo effect” to lower the prices of daily necessities such as food and daily necessities, and often buy one get one free and other promotional activities. A small number of supermarkets quietly increase the price of goods and then give gifts; some supermarkets bundle products that are about to expire with genuine products. Consumers often ignore its production date and get a sense of visual satisfaction, giving you the impression that this supermarket is cheaper .

2. Try to take the goods on the shelf as far as possible

There is a common principle for supermarket merchandise placement: the ones you can easily get are always the ones that businesses want to sell the most. Therefore, supermarkets generally place products with higher profits or expiration dates between 1.5 meters and 1.7 meters.

When some supermarkets put milk, yogurt, and refrigerated cabinet foods, they like to put the freshest products at the top, and change them gradually every day. The goods on the outermost shelf of the shelf are picked up frequently, and most people just pick them up and look at them, and may not buy them, so they are prone to bacteria. If you want to buy fresh ones with the most recent production date, then “pull out” the innermost product.

3. Buy fresh and frozen food last

Generally speaking, the temperature in the supermarket is higher than that in the freezer. If you buy raw meat, seafood, quick-frozen food, etc., it will start to thaw before the checkout, which increases the possibility of bacteria breeding. Therefore, it is recommended to buy this type of food last.

4. Buy less supermarket semi-finished vegetables

According to research data from the external network, after cutting up cruciferous vegetables such as green cauliflower and radish, leaving them in room temperature air for 6 hours, the loss rate of anti-cancer substances can reach 75%. If you don’t cut them, store them in the refrigerator for 7 days, there will be only a small loss of anti-cancer substances. In addition to anti-cancer ingredients with health-care functions, vitamin C will also be gradually decomposed and lost after cutting vegetables.

5. Don’t put cooked food at the bottom of the shopping cart

Because shopping baskets or shopping carts are used very frequently, especially at the bottom, which tends to be bacteria-intensive. Therefore, it is recommended that people do not put the cooked food at the bottom to avoid more germs.

Tips:
When shopping, you should check the shelf life of the food and buy less bulk food. It is best to arrange for the food with higher storage conditions to be purchased at the end, so as not to affect the quality of the food if the outside temperature is too high or too low.

Scan QR code payment is so convenient, why are credit cards still used in Western countries?

Scan QR code payment can be seen everywhere in China, but it is not popular abroad.

In China, as small as bun shops and breakfast stalls, as large as supermarkets, shopping malls, and even buses, subways, and shared bicycles, there are almost no places where codes cannot be scanned, which is very convenient. However, developed countries in Europe and the United States are still using traditional credit cards, and one credit card takes the world. The question is, why is the European and American countries so developed in finance, but still using bank cards, but “scan code payment” is not popular? There are actually several reasons.

 

First, credit cards in European and American countries have been used for decades, and the penetration rate is very high.

The credit card penetration rate in the United States is around 60%, and the older people use credit cards, the higher the proportion of people who often do not choose mobile payments. However, the penetration rate of credit cards in China is not high. In 2010, the average number of credit cards in China was 0.17, and in 2017 there were only 0.44 (including one person holding multiple cards). Moreover, it is mainly young people who use credit cards. Mobile payment is here, and it is logical for young people to switch to mobile payment.

People in developed countries have used credit cards to pay for decades, and their habits are hard to change. There are also mobile payment platforms in Europe and the United States, and PayPal is similar to China’s Alipay. You can also bind a credit card, but not many people use it. The United States is a credit society. When applying for loans, the use of credit cards is an important aspect of investigation, which also promotes the use of credit cards by Americans.

Second, the European and American credit card systems have been in operation for decades and are reliable and convenient to use.

It is very convenient to apply for a credit card in the United States. It takes a minute to fill out the form online, enter your name, social security number, and annual income, and then the application is approved instantly. The limit is 10,000 US dollars, and you will get points if you spend 1,000 in the first three months (1,000 rebate 250), and the credit card will be mailed home a week later. In case of theft, just call the bank. The bank is responsible for solving the follow-up problems and assumes all responsibilities. In China, if a credit card is stolen, it may be troublesome to deal with.


Moreover, mobile networks in Europe and the United States are not as developed as China.

China’s mobile network coverage is more comprehensive, and there are networks down to counties and towns. In addition, China’s Alipay and WeChat have a very high penetration rate, so China can make a mobile phone go all over the world. What’s more, European and American banking and capital groups should not allow platforms such as WeChat and Alipay to exist monopolistically, which will affect the interests of the banking industry itself. In any case, in the field of mobile payment, China is indeed at the forefront of the world.

That’s it for today’s sharing. If you want to learn more about card manufacturing, continue to follow us!

Chinese beware! New gift card scam in Chicago

On May 25, U.S.-China time, according to Fox32 reports, three new scams related to gift cards have recently appeared in Chicago.

Image source: Fox32 website screenshot

The Better Business Bureau stated that one type of scam targets gift cards that have not yet been purchased. The scammer went to the gift card shelf to scratch and photograph the code. Then, they kept making 800 calls related to the card, until they found that someone had purchased the card and recharged it, they quickly spent the money in the card before the recipient used the card.

Steve Bernas, chief executive of the Chicago Better Business Bureau, said: “Scammers have discovered that this is a new way to extract money from consumers who don’t I don’t know the pitfalls of gift card shopping.”

Another gift card scam is this: You will receive a Facebook message or a call from someone you think you know. They may pretend to be members of a utility company. They say they need money, or you have an unpaid bill, and they ask you to transfer the money to them by buying a gift card. When you buy a gift card, the scammer will ask you for the card number, including the password hidden under the scratched coating. Then they cashed out the gift card money and disappeared.

There is also a third way for criminals to use gift cards. They can spend stolen debit or credit cards without leaving too many traces. Detective William Heneghan of the Financial Crimes Department of the Chicago Police Department said they recently arrested two women, 26-year-old Tiana Trammell and 32-year-old Tewana. Rainey (Tjwana Rainey), charged with running a financial crime company.

Henigan said that Trammel and Renee would run into men in a bar in River North. They stole their credit cards and bought gift cards. The victims of this scam lost between 8,000 and 10,000 dollars each.

Now, retail stores are becoming more and more vigilant about gift card fraud and taking additional measures to protect customers. CVS is training employees to be vigilant and requires customers to read and confirm information about gift card fraud at the cashier before completing a purchase.

I believe there are many friends around the world flying around the world
What is Malaysia, Thailand, the United States, Britain and France
And it seems that I only have work in my heart, but in fact it seems that I have no money, hahaha!

Out of a town

Always pack some clothes and put them in the suitcase to take away

However

The name tag you often hang in your suitcase

It may make your home looted!

Do not write your home address in your suitcase when you go abroad.

Is this suggestion credible?

Many media and travel experts do not recommend to indicate the address on the suitcase, especially the home address!

The main reason is that you are worried that illegal people will ransack your home while you are playing abroad.

As for avoiding the loss of your luggage, you must rely on the care of every friend. In addition to keeping your luggage,

you can’t give your luggage to strangers at will. , Or help strangers carry their luggage.

Why should I put a name tag or name tag on my luggage?

Worry about losing your luggage!

The biggest function of the luggage tag or name tag is to contact the passenger who owns the luggage. In case the luggage is lost,

the information on the luggage tag allows the airline to find you. So don’t be afraid of 10,000, but in case, the airline will suggest taking the flight.

Passengers carefully fill in the contact information on the luggage tag or name slip.

luggage tag

Just fill in the name and phone number, the home address is really unnecessary

I already know the function of the luggage name tag or name tag, so what information should I fill in?

It is generally recommended to use your name, mobile phone number (the mobile phone number you will use when you arrive abroad),

company phone number/extension or E-mail. Make sure that the airline staff can contact you through these methods.

Home address and home phone number are not recommended

In fact, if you think about it, you will know that when you and your luggage show up at the airport, it means that you

will not go home for several days. If you fill in the home address and home phone number on the luggage tag,

it may make people think badly. , Regard your home as the primary target of theft.

It’s also a good idea to include a company business card in your luggage tag. Your name, phone number and other

contact information are not disclosed. If your bag is left alone, the airline staff will be able to track down the owner.

Believe that everyone does not want themselves

When traveling happily and enjoying food

The family’s belongings were ransacked

To this end

Be careful about the personal information you leave on your luggage tag!

Those small designs that protect the environment, every detail is very loving

In recent years, consumers have become increasingly aware of environmental protection, and many companies have also promoted the concept of “green” in product research and development. Here we have compiled a wave of environmental protection designs to see how they protect the environment in their daily lives. .

A coffee shop abroad provides a solution. Customers spend two minutes to clean up the garbage on the beach spontaneously. A bucket of garbage is exchanged for a drink, which is environmentally friendly and saves money.

Eco-friendly coffee shop

In addition, the card manufacturers also break the traditional impression, the new production process with wood as raw material, has a certain environmental protection effect than the traditional plastic.

Environmental protection wooden card

The traditional six bottles of beer are all in plastic packaging, and Danish merchants use glue to stick them together! Don’t underestimate this little invention. In Denmark alone, you can save 150 tons of plastic a year.

New packaging of cans

In addition to serving as a meal, banana leaves can also be used to make ice cream cups.

Other wonderful uses of banana leaves

A certain university recycles the back of the waste materials printed on one side into notebooks and sends them to students for use.

Paper recycling

The most environmentally friendly egg packaging, completely original!

Environmental protection egg box

Many charging stations in public places can use manpower to “generate electricity”. If you want to fully charge your mobile phone, just ride a bicycle for a while!

Power bike

In fact, after seeing so many heart-warming and loving small designs, I personally think that environmental protection must first start from the individual. Then the sense of social responsibility undertaken by enterprises and society will further enhance the concept of environmental protection for the whole people. For example, card manufacturing companies are changing the wooden cards developed by the traditional card making concept has a certain degree of waterproof and temperature resistance due to the characteristics of the wood itself. Under the condition of achieving the same function as the traditional card, this move can greatly reduce the use of plastic. I think if you wanna protect the environment,maybe you can start with the use of wooden cards!
