You could also stand around a gas station offering to pay for people's gas....

Or maybe if you're a waiter and someone gives you cash to pay... pay with your card and pocket the cash???? That would be insane!

Great idea! This will last all of two days before you get fired, so make sure you do it on high paying nights....:rolleyes:

Along the lines of the techniques in this thread, went to the grocery store today for regular groceries. Finished the transactions and paid with cc. After the transaction was complete, the cashier reminded me to swipe my club card. After I did, she refunded the club savings in cash, a whopping $4.97 on the $41 transaction already paid by cc. That's a free $4.97 of ms for today!

Orr what if you know the owner of a fancy restaurant and then "dined" out and then they give you cash for it? Is that illegal? They'd have to pay merchant fees though so not sure if that would be worth it.

Actually have never seen Homeland. Found an article on The Tower while looking into a Caracas trip with my SO. Was last in the city in 1987 before hurricane Hugo wrecked the place.:p

you know how people say "lol" or any of the 'stronger' variants? (rotfl, etc.)

People say that when they mean "i smiled, barely perceptibly".

But I literally guffawed. Rarely happens on the internet. Thank you.
