There are two reasons for choosing three people to buy a card for the same consumption, according to Miss Huang's explanation: First, economic reasons. Several people pooled their money to buy a card, and when they shared it at a discount, they felt that everyone didn't have much money and it was easy to bear. Second, for security reasons.
Miss Huang and her colleagues once bought a membership card in a fitness club. As a result, the fitness club closed down without spending a few times, which made them lose a lot. Now several people buy a card and spend it together, at least they can spend it quickly and avoid some losses to the greatest extent.
Inspired by the fitness card, Miss Huang and her colleagues feel that this kind of consumption is good, so they simply apply for some consumption cards, such as VIP cards in shopping malls and discount cards in cafes. Later, Miss Huang introduced this "spelling card" consumption method to other friends. After everyone tried it, they all felt good.
Mr. Wang, who works in a government office, likes swimming. He bought a discount card for the swimming pool and made an appointment with some classmates. Whoever wants to go swimming will use this discount card, and finally share the cost of buying the card according to the number of consumption. In this way, everyone can not only ensure that they can easily use up their cards within the consumption time specified in the discount card, but also enjoy the economic benefits brought by the discount card very fairly, killing two birds with one stone. On a website forum called "Beijing Pinke Club" in Beijing, the author saw many "Pinke" posts about shopping and fitness together. Netizens who have various discount cards and VIP cards in different shopping malls, swimming pools, gyms and other places have "basked" in the information of their discount cards on the forum in order to find suitable "friends". There is a slogan on the bulletin board of this website: "Fighting is also a way of life!" " Since June 2007, there have been more than 1000 posts on the forum of this website about spelling cards.
According to the contents of these posts, they are roughly classified as follows: First, some netizens post invitations to apply for membership cards or VIP cards, and whoever needs them can use them, and they can also meet for group purchases and collective consumption; Second, some netizens who posted posts invited others to enjoy the "discount" because they still had a lot of money in their cards, so it was difficult for them to spend it within the validity period. Third, some netizens want to transfer discount cards at low prices for various reasons; Fourth, some netizens directly put their discount card information online and provide it to everyone for free. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, great changes have taken place in people's ideological understanding and life concept. More and more people go shopping in large shopping malls and participate in various entertainment and fitness activities. Coupled with the convenience of urban transportation and the development of communication network technology, more and more new things come into people's lives. Many new terms such as "Pinka" and "Parkour" are constantly emerging.
