I also like that NiHowdy differentiates itself from other bitcoin rewards companies by offering a discount on a product.<\/p>\n<p>While I\u2019ve yet to use NiHowdy, it seems fairly simple to do so. You simply sign up through the <a href=\"https:\/\/nihowdy.com\/\">company\u2019s website<\/a>, where you\u2019ll obtain either a discount card or a QR code that can be scanned at selected pharmacies. You can also use the website to compare prices and find the cheapest locations to purchase prescription medication (the company is also <a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/startup-nihowdy-launches-revolutionary-platform-184800785.html\">working on a mail-order service<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>When you pay for your prescription, you\u2019ll earn 3% back in bitcoin, which automatically gets deposited into your Coinbase account. (While I\u2019d prefer NiHowdy had partnered with a different exchange, as I don\u2019t like how <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/business\/coinbase-ice-and-bitcoin-blockchain-surveillance\">Coinbase partners with government agencies to surveil transactions<\/a>, this isn\u2019t a deal breaker for me.)<\/p>\n<p>NiHowdy sees itself as fighters of Big Pharma\u2026<\/p>\n<p>At Nihowdy, we&#8217;re not just a prescription savings platform. We&#8217;re warriors in the battle against big pharma, fighting for your right to reclaim the savings that are rightfully yours. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NiHowdy?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NiHowdy<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PrescriptionSavings?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PrescriptionSavings<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Join us in reclaiming the savings that belongs to you. \ud83d\udcaa\ud83d\udc8a <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rTP3MgUWLZ\">pic.twitter.com\/rTP3MgUWLZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 NiHowdy (@nihowdyrx) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nihowdyrx\/status\/1796361167553572890?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 31, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2026which I\u2019d say is a bit of a stretch, but it does seem to provide a good way to save money on potentially burdensome prescription drug costs while at the same time stacking sats.<\/p>\n<p>The ultimate hack here would be if you could use your Fold debit card to pay for your prescriptions, earning some extra sats on top of the 3% back in sats you earn through NiHowdy.<\/p>\n<p>If that\u2019s possible, I might get so pumped that I\u2019ll need to go and refill my sedative prescription.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article is a <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/takes\/bitcoin-magazine-introduces-opinion-takes\"><em>Take<\/em><\/a><em>.
