Morning.

Greenie, are you part of any points program at Rite Aid? Maybe they sell Amazon your buying info based on the email address you gave Rite Aid as part of the points program?

Sorry about your phone. Jesus, phones can be expensive to fix. I hope it's not a big deal.

Not much on tap today. I've got lunch out and a play to see tonight but, otherwise, it's the same old. A website quote for a new client today is number one on my list.

Have a good one!

BINGO! Just sent this to Rite Aid about their Plenti program:

Quote:

Yesterday I was at Rite Aid & bought some Planters Whole Cashews because they were on sale for $8.99 (reg $16.49). The transaction occurred at 2:38PM

At 2:51PM I recv'd an email from Amazon that said: "Here are personalized recommendations for you based on items you purchased or reviewed..." and the 1st item on the list was Planters Deluxe Whole Cashews for $9.99 (everyday price). A friend pointed out to me that it was probably Plenti sharing my info with Amazon. I just opted out of Plenti sharing my data with anyone. This is not your or Plenti's fault. It's mine for not checking the privacy options when I signed up.

But my point is this: You give a customer's info to Plenti & they then share it with their partners. In my case, who do you think I'm going to buy cashews from the next time I need some? Amazon's everyday price is $6.50 less than Rite Aid's. I have a Prime account, so it's free 2 day shipping. I'd be a moron to buy them from Rite Aid.

So thanks for letting me know I should shop at Amazon & not Rite Aid!

From what I'm reading, it's a hardware problem. I know my Apple warranty has past, but I think we have something thru Verizon. My other concern is that dummy hasn't backed up his phone in a LOOOOOOOOONG time

I'm an Android guy but my wife's phone is Apple. I know there is a backup function on it. You set it and forget it. I needed it to transfer her phone from one company to another. Here's hoping you had it turned on.
