Also, when you fax in your service receipts, they credit you off your next bill, so there is no trip to the bank required. And you can also get the cash out if you buy a car (new or used)... I think that all you have to do is send in the receipt -- except in this case they'll cut you a check instead of crediting your card. If you're willing to play fast and loose, you could probably work up your own receipt and send it in. After all, if you were to buy from a private party, the best you could expect would be a homemade (computer-generate) receipt. Seems like there would be no way of verifying that you didn't just mock up a receipt for yourself without ever buying the car. I'm not recommending this, just saying that it's probably possible. <a href="http://www.fivecentnickel.com/" rel="nofollow">fivecentnickel.com</a> Driver’s Edge is also part of the Thank You Redemptions network, so you can cash out for store gift cards (= almost cash).

I was able to redeem my 30k maintenance ticket, got the credit in the same cycle when it was charged! routine oil change charges... good as cash if you do drive.
