voucher

If you ever come to Japan, make sure you buy a voucher for one of these before you leave home, since they're not sold here.

Top-up voucher codes were a currency, even more than tobacco. The thing is, they weren't small phones.

Maybe this advanced access fee could then become a voucher to own the series? Promote a purchase after the series has finished?

I would take it area by area, walk around to find the buildings that have gates, then mail everyone in those buildings with a voucher code. A/B test your letters, refine as you go.

He's saying private or public isn't the point, whatever you do is going to be more than just one buzzword-thing like "take down unions" or "voucher system". There isn't just one thing wrong with the US education system, there are countless things.

My one time attempt of returning empties in California took three trips to the distant and frequently unmanned center, and finally yielded a voucher only valid in the supermarket on which's premises the center was located. No thanks.

I'd advocate that a voucher system, whereby the government gives each student a voucher for the degree of their choice, would be preferable to the widespread adoption of "the promise".

From the opposite perspective, I have found that owners of business treat me as a second class customer when I use a Groupon voucher with them. There is either an automatic assumption that I'm cheap and a less worthy customer, or they have overbooked their services and provide a poor experience.

What happens if you take the implicitly-assumed-to-be-ridiculous third option, and give every visitor a green card and a basic income voucher when they cross the border? Then you don't have any illegal immigrants, just lots and lots and lots of citizens.

I don't know how much credit Google gives out, but when a major auto insurance company has blanket $100 per click bids, that $75 voucher's impact will be measured far in to the decimal points. The opacity behind Google's bidding system allows for fraud since they can calculate how much each bidder needs to pay differently.

It's as if they think that the business gods issued us all with a magic 'business voucher', and we chose to redeem it with a consumer web startup as opposed to say, nuclear fission or curing world hunger. The economy gave us this 'business voucher', and consumer web startups are the only thing the voucher is good for.

However I would be open to a voucher-type system where the actual providers are private, competing for customers who pay into a common risk pool. It's the tying of the risk pool to employers that's most problematic to me, and which imo severely weakens other parts of the free market, by reducing labor mobility.

A variation of this hack which is used by my local car wash: Buy a booklet of 10 pre-paid vouchers for the car wash and get a free car wash ... right now. According to the owners, moving the 'free' car wash to be immediately available rather than at the end of the voucher book say a significant increase in people who bought them - even though ultimately it made no difference financially to the customers.

Airbnb offered me a 500 USD voucher, which barely covered the cost of my last minute Holiday Inn stay that I had to make to, well, not spend the night on the street after getting kicked out, and it's all water under the bridge now, but nightmare stories happen both ways.
