Cash back IS viewed as a rebate and is not declarable. What IS (or has been recently) is things like cash sign up bonuses for basically doing nothing.

I think, if you are sending it for 'goods/services' there is no fee. As a cash advance, then your credit card company will charge a fee.

Those are treated as rebates which is why they are tax-exempt. what IS taxable is large upfront signing bonuses, for the most part.

As far as I can tell from a google search, if you don't sell your points, they are not reportable. If you do sell, then they are. So, if you get cash, I suppose it is reportable.

Sorry, I meant A->B (AP)
Then B->A(AP)
That was being flagged.
And even A->B(AP)
B->C(AP)
C->A(AP)
Personally, I only know of people who had accounts closed with a-b, b-a.
