Well, that's something I never really quite expected. So in the middle of June, #AmericanExpress was supposed to send me a replacement card. It got lost in the mail. Then I chatted with them, and they sent another card, which also got lost in the mail. So then I chatted with them, had to pass a gaggle of "personal security questions" which got me all crackin up, "How did I login to this account, then?" -- And they sent me a replacement card UPS Next Day Air.

“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters in the end”*…
Joseph Conrad’s Heart of DarknessC. J. Moran (peter-guillam123 on Github) maps the classics…
The short version: PlotLines plays classic books as journeys, on maps of their own era… PlotLines takes out-of-copyright classics and draws their characters’ journeys on a period map. Pick a book, press play, and the whole cast moves at once – or follow one person and let the map travel with them. Hover any stop and you get the place as the text itself names it, with the line that puts them there.
It began with Dracula, because Stoker wrote what is probably the best travel itinerary in Victorian fiction – a clerk crossing Europe by train, a ghost ship rounding Gibraltar with her captain lashed to the wheel, a three-pronged chase up a Romanian river at the end.
There are forty-three books now, and they are no longer all novels, or all set in Europe. A walk at Hardy’s pace across Wessex; a single London day of near-misses; a raft the length of the Mississippi; a stolen dog’s road from a Californian orchard to the Klondike ice; a two-town comedy running between Tokyo and Shikoku; a 120-chapter Chinese epic that needs five threads moving at once before it makes any sense at all; and a family driven out of a Southern town that is never once named. The shelf has turned out wider than I expected when I started, and more will follow…
Each book opens with a choice: watch the story or explore its places. A shelf of journeys: “PlotLines.”
See also: “Reading Maps“– more “journeys from fiction drawn on the real world”
* Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness

As we trace steps (and think about the ways in which travel has changed), we might recall that it was on this date in 1891 that The Hotel Hauffe in Leipzig, Germany became the first establishment to honor an American Express Travelers Cheque. Travelers cheques were first issued in 1772 by the London Credit Exchange Company for use in 90 European cities; and in 1874, Thomas Cook was issuing “circular notes” that operated in the manner of travelers cheques. But until the late 19th century, well-off travelers relied mostly on letters of credit… and less wealthy travelers risked carrying cash. American Express’ was the first system of significant scale and global scope, and offered cheques in relatively small denominations, making them available to many more travelers.

American Express ordered to fix security gaps after a customer complained about improper employee access.
It seems that a customer reported a privacy concern and fought AmEx for 4 years to get them to implement stronger access controls or monitoring of employee access to data.
Now, the AU govt has ordered AmEx to rectify security flaws in five of its data systems to guard against “insider threats” and to restrict employee access to specific customer information to protect vulnerable and high-profile customers.

Dear #AmEx #AmericanExpress
In the year of our Lord 2026, it has become the norm for people’s e-mail settings to NOT load remote images (aka tracking images) by default. Stop equating my lack of loading remote images as an unsuccessful attempt to notify me of a new statement and sending snail mail to me saying as much.

CW: EU & UK prepare for a post Mastercard and Visa World
At long last, even before Trump, the UK and Europe should not have relied totally on #Visa and #Mastercard and to a lesser extent #AmericanExpress. All companies provide good services, but placing your entire financial system in the hands of another country was always a risk. Again it shows of the sheer patheticness of our politicians.

Wenn wir in #Europa endlich unabhängig von #USA und #China werden wollen, müssen wir an sehr vielem arbeiten. Und das muss gestartet werden. Jetzt!
Ich lese immer sehr viel von digitaler Unabhängigkeit. Bei Messengern weg von #WhatsApp. Beim Betriebssystem hin zu #Linux. #Libreoffice statt #MsOffice. Hin zu #Nextcloud und damit weg von #GoogleDrive, #iCloud, #Dropbox, #OneDrive & Co.
Bei Finanz lese ich aber immer nur #Wero statt #Paypal. Und da klemmt es schon. Wero ist unnötig kompliziert gemacht. Damit die Einstiegsschwelle hoch. Warum zum Teufel muss meine Bank es anbieten. Bei PayPal ist die Bank auch scheißegal.
Und worüber niemand spricht: Schaffen einer europäischen Alternative zu #Visa, #Mastercard, #AmericanExpress. Da müssen wir auch ran.Ziehen die Amis Morgen den Stecker sind wir zurückgeworfen ins Mittelalter

CW: financial companies preying on the elderly
Starting in Dec. 2018, when my uncle was 71 years old and living on social security + a small pension, he became obsessed with buying antique posters, crystal decanters and other decorative items, and started charging thousands of dollars of purchases every month to his #AmericanExpress card.
He'd had this card for over a decade prior, and had previously paid off the entire balance monthly. (1/9)
