Imagine if all these discount programs were linked not to the card, but to the bag. Bringing the same rugged bag with a chip could've become a new normal. (sh.itjust.works)

I think they're saying discount card#, not credit card. Like at CVS. And I assume they could put an NFC reader in the checkout scanner so you could just drag the full bag across it to read the code

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
