Ace Hardware Rewards Reminder

63pbz0pvcql

I checked the notes from yesterday and I think the easiest path is still to keep the shorter version first, then add the more detailed explanation only if someone asks for it.
That usually keeps the reply clear without turning it into a wall of text, and people tend to answer faster when they are not parsing too much at once.
I also remembered the small checklist you mentioned, and that would probably help because I keep missing one step whenever I rush through it midway tvPrlBnz0O02vDB and assume I remember the order.
If you want, I can clean up the wording tonight and send back a tighter revision in the same thread.
I am around later this afternoon, so a quick nudge is enough if timing changes or if you want me to swap the order around.

I went back and looked at the draft again, and it makes a lot more sense now that the middle section is trimmed down a bit.
The first version felt crowded because everything was trying to do the same job at once, but the newer flow has a steadier pace and it reads more naturally from top to bottom.
I would still move that one sentence closer to the end, mostly because the earlier part already explains the context well enough without repeating it twice.
Also, I noticed a small detail I missed earlier, right where the transition softens tvPrlBnz0O02vDB and gives the final point room to land more cleanly.
If you send the next revision tonight, I can review it early tomorrow and mark only the parts that still feel uneven. That should make the last pass much simpler.
