Just purchase gift cards. Have heard stories of bonus points being retracted after large returns the following month.

AmEx historically is pretty hawkish on clawing back points with large gift card purchases

Costco. Buy online with a credit card that they don't accept in store (example visa). Return in store and they will give you cash since they can't process the card type you used online.

Costco takes visa. Use amex or mastacard

Crying for my RSUs….started at my company about 6 months ago and got some RSUs split over 3 years. Turns out the stock price at time of my hiring (which is what was used to calculate the number of shares over the three years) was the highest it’s ever been. Stock price has been cut in half since then, along with my RSU value. 😭 how do I cope?
