2.04 am on December 9: the «IO» application accepts my debit card. Starting tomorrow I can participate in the Christmas cashback. Am I dreaming or am I awake? I’m awake. For insomnia of old age or I don’t know what else. And this is what happened. Staring at the red alarm clock projected on the ceiling, I remembered the advice (which turns out to be a prophecy) given by the two digital natives who await their future in the living room, respectively studying computer engineering and worker privacy in the time of remote control: «Mom, it’s useless. Too many simultaneous logins. If you try tonight you will see that you succeed.

In fact, on Tuesday, throughout the day, he had tried twenty times to insert the card. Without success, of course. “Due to a temporary problem it is not possible …”. Wheel. Try again. Nothing. Then at night, half a result. At 7 pm the “IO” application decided to accept it only as Pagobancomat – and this is already something because this function is sufficient to start with cashback – but not as a debit card of the Mastercard circuit.

But now we are. In the dark and rainy night a screen opens where “I” informs me that 2 cents will be withdrawn to verify that the card is really her. And so it happens. With an authorization request from the other application, my bank’s. And with simultaneous return of the two pennies withdrawn less than five minutes after the check. Between sleep and wakefulness I think that if they had been so quick with the payment of the debts of the Public Administration we would have converted. Who knows.
