WU is clamping down on the “point chasers.” I suspect WMT will be in WU’s crosshairs as well.
We’ll see whether it’s a policy change or hard-coded into the terminal. It’s no big deal if it’s the former. If it’s the latter and the infection spreads to WMT then we have problem.
Let’s hope it’s like the widely reported memo at Walmart a few years ago that looked like the death knell for MS. None of my stores ever said anything about it and it was business as usual.
