So as of yet they dont know my SS could be they will ask for it if I continued with the Reward. My question is has anyone gotten that message and still cahsed in and do they ask for your SS, and did they report it to the IRS. this has to do with earning pts = Rewards from non-purchases

I can always continue and cashin after 12/31 and hope they are still around .
TIA
That’s peak insanity. Also, the points were awarded as a shopping rebate, so its taxation is dubious. I would speak with your tax advisor, but I’d challenge any 1099 they try to issue.
