Walmart Rewards Update

I meant to reply earlier, but the afternoon disappeared on me. I looked over the draft and I think the simpler version works better because it sounds more natural and easy to follow.
When I read things twice and still have to stop and decode them, I usually end up putting them aside, so trimming helps more than adding extra explanation. I also liked the shorter subject because it felt calmer and less crowded.
I would keep the first paragraph focused on the main point, then let the next section handle the added detail. That way the whole note feels lighter and less busy. If you want, I can read through the final version again tonight and flag anything that still feels uneven. I am around later, and I do not mind doing one more pass before you send it.

Thanks,

I checked on that idea during my break, and I think the timing should be fine if you keep the steps in the order you mentioned.
The only part that seemed off to me was the last sentence, mostly because it felt a little abrupt compared with the rest of the note. If you smooth that out, the whole thing will read more comfortably.
I also think it helps to leave a little space between sections so people do not feel like they are staring at a wall of text. Whenever something looks crowded, I lose my place and have to start again, which is probably why I notice spacing before almost anything else. If you send the updated copy later, I can compare both versions and tell you which one sounds clearer. I should be awake, and I can give you a quick answer once I finish up here.
