FogHelmut posted:I thought they switched to checks last year for over a certain amount? I actually looked back at the detail, this year I spent 40% less on fuel. Restaurants, 75% less. Travel, 80% less. It's all obvious and true and I didn't have to calc it to know, it's still crazy to me. It's like eating like poo poo and drinking and knowing you're getting fat vs seeing the number on the scale. The only category that went up was Costco lol by 25%.

Usually it depends on the discretion of the supervisor or manager you talk to. A lot of times they'll just make a check for anything over $500, but I've also seen them get $800 cash for someone. But for slightly less than $500, it shouldn't be a big deal for them to make a check for you as long as you talk to a supervisor and specifically ask for it.

Is it possible for them to make out a check to you? I don't want cash and I'm not going to spend $500 at Costco anytime soon.

 I haven't traveled, and I don't buy gas since I own EVs. That's all from feeding & mostly clothing my family.

We got $275 back, and the timing was great as I was able to turn that into 2 $99 APC UPS's for backups during the rolling power blackouts this week.

Every year I take my voucher in and ask “can I get a check for this?” and they tel me to go shop and come back in 15-30. Except once. Once the lady started pressing buttons before I said anything, put 37 cents in my hand and started counting out fives and tens. For a $400+ voucher (we’d just had a kid). I asked if I could get a check and she’s like “Tsk. Not NOW. You should have said something earlier.” I wound up putting the cash in a drawer and slipping $30 into my wallet every now and then for a year and a half.

Lol, last year they gave me a grand in cash. Must have been just great timing on my part. I gave a few bills to my wife, kept a few, and tucked the rest into the drawer for the same reason.

Lot of gas getters need an honest friend to berate them. So much futzing around. I knew one lady was trouble when I saw her trunk open, nothing good can come of that. She was somehow still faster at getting gas than the next guy. I was looking at him but not paying attention, somehow it took him two minutes to even get to the payment part of the process. Back to trunk lady, she's done, but now sitting in her car texting, at the back pump with nobody in front. Seems polite to let her drive off rather than box her in, which I kinda wish I did out of spite. Instead I was able to use the back pump next to her. I was about five gallons in before she left. Most people are fine, I think sitting in the line gives such a clear view that it's like watching a little play. If I had no shame a little bullhorn could make it more exciting.

ArbitraryC posted:Considering you'd have to spend *checks notes* neaarly 25k at costco to get that much back it's pretty safe to assume you will in fact spend 500 there sometime soon. On average you spend 2 grand a month at costco.  It's more like $15k from my Costco-only purchases. Look at that pathetic $62.50 spent in gas stations, that's from concessions. Maybe some day gas stations in USA will offer DC fast charging.

Lol $3k per month sounds right. A wife, two kids, a dog, a house, and two cars. Costco, other grocery stores, travel, gifts, gasoline, restaurants, fast food, streaming services, household items, kids, auto expenses, insurance, other expenses. I got the Amazon card, Target card, and Lowes card that give me 5% cash back at each of those. Everything else goes on Costco card. I haven't purchased anything with cash in years. Debit is a huge security risk and is never used.

There’s a thread in BFC for that kind of stuff. I had it more broken out but I currently use Amex for Groceries - 6% back Chase Business for Cell/Internet Bills - 5% back Amex Amazon card for Amazon - 5% back Citi Costco for gas/dining out/Costco - 4%/3%/2% back Citi Doublecash for everything else - 2% back It’s a hassle but it needs a grand or two a year in extra cash so whatever.

My wife eats the frozen breakfast burritos, I think they're evol green Chile and egg, nearly every day, with Bitchin sauce. So both of those things are on every list. Below that is Kombucha. If I could just subscribe to that order, I might go only once a month for anything else.
