On a completely random but happy note. I have now been working from home for over a year. My employer deducts Oregon income tax as my office is in Oregon. My home is in Washington. On my tax return I documented that I had only actually worked in Oregon 23 days in 2020. I just received a state tax return that is equivalent to almost 9% of my annual pay! Replacing the roof on my 24 year old house.

I'm not very progressive with electronics and find this type of stuff to be pretty frustrating and wasteful.

That is very funny! Makes a lot of sense to boot.

I have never tried it with a debit card, mine may not allow that either. I use my CU credit card for the points. I pay all bills through it as well and end up getting close to $1,000 in Amazon gift cards each year. It is also real easy just to move the money from savings to Credit before interest kicks in.

You actually prompted to check out my CC options at the credit union.

It works great. I basically use that card for any non cash purchase. Groceries, Gas, restaurants. The reward points just push me to use that card.Looking for the fonting of youth.
