10/ Before using any rewards product, ask one question:

If you removed the flashing lights, random rewards, and jackpot stories…

Would the math still make sense?

Skinner’s pigeons never asked about expected value.

Consumers should.

1/ A new credit card just launched that advertises rewards of “up to 100% back” on purchases.

Sounds great.

But the more I look at it, the more it feels like someone asked:

“What if we turned credit card rewards into a slot machine?”

We just launched a credit card that gives you up to 100% cash back rewards.

Credit card rewards are broken. A stagnating, ossifying industry has spent decades collecting fees while handing back perks that rarely deliver. Points that are hard to use. Lounges that are hard to reach. Fine print that works against you. Innovation stalled because it could.

So we built what they didn't.
Coverd flips the script. Up to 100% cash back rewards in a transparent matrix — a live, regularly updated grid where you can see exactly how to get to 100% cash back. No fine print, no guessing, full agency. Every swipe is an entry into the rewards pool, and you see it all happen in real time.

Grocery run. Gas station. Dinner date. You spend — we've got you Coverd.

This is real transparency and empowerment — no $900/year fees, no settling for B-tier lounges.
50,000+ people have joined the waitlist.
The doors are now open. The Coverd Card is live today.

9/ To be clear, there’s nothing inherently wrong with innovative rewards.

But transparency matters.

If you’re advertising giant upside, consumers should know:
• The probabilities
• The expected value
• The average reward rate

@mikulaja Who’s still giving this fraud money? Guy says a lot while cash is set on fire.

7/ These “hemp” retailers enjoy banking access, low taxes, and full payment processing. Regulated cannabis businesses? Locked out of banks, buried under 280E tax rules, and micromanaged. #hemp #cannabis #SB5

6/ At this morning’s press conference, a new bill was floated to regulate “hemp.” Not cannabis. Why? Because true cannabis regulation means licenses, testing, taxes—things hemp shops want to avoid. #hemp #cannabis #SB5

@learnaboutsam @POTUS SAM’s ad says rescheduling helps “cartels”—a total lie. Legal, tested cannabis destroys criminal profits. The real threat is handing your health and dollars to the street, not a dispensary. $msos #cannabis #S3

[Valued Research @trendingtowards]

@learnaboutsam @POTUS Enough with SAM’s scare tactics. Rescheduling cannabis means science wins, not the black market. SAM is funded by prohibitionists desperate to keep profits and punishment flowing, not to protect the public. $msos #cannabis #S3

11/ It’s not just Texas or Missouri—Arkansas is banning, Florida is moving to ban, and raids on illegal grows and mail-order shipments are way up. But every ban faces a PR blitz from hemp lobbyists. #hemp #cannabis $msos

10/ Regulators call for clarity, but Congress can’t agree. Mitch McConnell wants the loophole closed. Rand Paul wants to raise THC limits to help Kentucky farmers. The two Kentucky senators now battle over the monster they created. #hemp #cannabis $msos
