I have been advised that the purchase of 'prepaid cards' does not give you any points of any kind, at all. I asked about it way back after…

For what benefit?

Imagine **not understanding** the importance of clarifying 'social justice' standards and helping out your fellow man/woman/human in…

This situation is absolute BS, and I am glad that you brought it to our attention. Every single Victorian 'knows' that if you move your car…

It is **very different** jv, because these dudes maintain that they are not a commercial entity.

All sorts of changes have been happening over the years/decades in this sphere. It used to be--for example--that even paying a large…

In essence Taiwan is not China, any more than East Timor is Indonesia. Hong Kong is *legally* China, by mutual agreement between England…

**Wow**, so your experience totally confirms the whole 'hard sell/intimidation factor' then ('literally locked the doors' *etc*.!). Maybe…

Absolutely 100% yes, that is the 'catch' here. This is the precise reason why this 'deal' is so seemingly cheap. Also, 'guilt tripped' is…

PR does not = citizenship, is the moral of that story.

You made the dubious assertion above that Beijing has had 'self-driving taxis' for 6 years salsenate. Does Seoul also have those? Are they…
