CA: Campaign #43 awarded: Epic defensive earth gem with balanced general boost and Evade.
Not entirely trash, I decided to stick it on my Hades Boots for my Evade loadout.
5th-quintile epic Evade starts at 1.3456%. It took ~60 refine crystals but I eventually rolled +1.44% Evade.

Venmo is hawking debit cards with a promo for 5% rewards on gas. This would be a competitive edge if it was a credit card - but considering how pay-at-the-pump is a prime target for skimmers, and debit cards expose the underlying cash account to fraud, I would not take that risk for 1% more reward than Costco's Citi-sponsored credit card. What happens if a skimmer steals your Venmo debit card credentials? Well, how does Venmo fund an outbound transaction if you don't have a balance in Venmo itself? For most Venmo users, that comes out of a linked cash account because I don't think Venmo lets you provide a credit card as a spillover funding source. So then the thief drains your checking anyway, but now the fraud resolution trail is even murkier. Nope, none for me thanks.
