Tangentially related: memberships and their 'benefits' is something commonly used to disconnect the payment from the thing you get. You think it's extra. It's not. In fact, I don't use most of the 'benefits' and I'm still paying for them. And the other weird use of language is showing a discount for when you get a credit card as 'take 5%'. Not 'take 5% off'. Like, I don't get to 'take' that. It doesn't appear in my pocket. I'm just spending less on your already overpriced product.
