日記120 : Point Cards

I’m not good at using point card systems. In the past, I tried to make the most of my points and save money, but it was tough for me to organize and carry numerous cards from various shops and find the right one quickly while shopping. Gradually, I gave up on all point cards and stopped accepting offers to make new ones at any shop.
However, I recently moved to a new area where I often use the same shopping mall, and I get asked almost every day to add points. When this happened, I finally realized that I should start using point cards again, so I began collecting points. I regret all the points I missed out on because of my laziness.
Recently, many point systems can be operated on your phone, so it has become less annoying. However, I still feel stressed when I have to search for another point app on my phone before or after paying (this varies depending on the shop) and launch it, which sometimes takes time.
In the end, despite all these efforts, the value of the points I get from my shopping is usually so little that it feels meaningless to put effort into using them.
