WSJ Your Money Briefing · Splitting the Bill: The Apps and Etiquette to Avoid Awkward Conversations · 15 May 2024 podcast

So they're not sending your data to the cloud to be processed by AI to read this receipt better or do some other features.

They're really trying to keep your data private to you.

Along with apps like Splitwise, there are a whole bunch of apps that let you take a picture of a receipt and then itemize each item for who was in the group.

So say you went to Starbucks, somebody had a cold brew, you split a muffin and another person had a latte.

You can tap on it to assign the different items and to share the one item, the muffin together, and it will split.

Do the math for what everyone owes.

Those sometimes have issues if it's too dark or if your receipt is crumpled.

So always be sure to check the figures that it comes up with.

But a lot of people are using these now because they're really fast and an easy way to figure out what everybody owes without having to do any math at all on your part.

WSJ Your Money Briefing · Why Your Phone Carrier Wants to Connect to Your Bank Account · 5 Sep 2023 podcast

So basically, they're giving you a $5 or $10 discount per line per month.

Or if you were already getting that discount for setting up auto pay, they're saying, hey, we're going to take that discount away if you don't switch to your bank account.

It's really about the credit card fees.

They've been increasing over the past couple of years, and we reported that they are going to be increasing a couple more times in the next nine months.

So these carriers do not want to pay those fees.

So they're basically incentivizing us to start paying with our bank accounts.

There are also a couple other benefits for them.

If you have auto pay set up and you pay with your bank account, you're less likely to cancel.

It's not actually difficult to change your payment method or it's not difficult to cancel, but it's kind of that mental hurdle to get past.

Also with the discounts that they're giving us, that also makes you feel more loyal.

Like people don't switch carriers very often, but we all still like being rewarded for that loyalty.
