Checked out the VIB Sephora 15% off sale. The YSL blush/highlighter palette still interests me but I don't *need* it. Just bought the Patrick Ta diamond sparkles eyeshadow topper to keep my VIB status. A lot of what I liked is out of stock.

Finally arrived after wondering what happened it. Some weird delivery thing?

Good one.

I don't like being tracked. I do get it in terms of usage and bus stops. The pass was more private, I guess.

True. It is an option. I wouldn't go either. Bought stuff at Montreal Simons a few years ago because it wasn't here yet.

$30. I have about $1250 worth of points money now. With the 20% over 55 discount plus 20x the points, it can be a good deal.

I would still put a pink flag. Hopefully it is a one-off that can happen to the average person.
