If it's cash back you're just giving them a interest free loan.

Cash it out and put it savings or respend it.

If Cash back it's always better to deposit to your account if possible instead of a statement credit.

Let's say you spend 100 and get 5% back (5 dollars).

If you credit statement it's only worth 5 dollars, but if you direct deposit it and spend it again it's worth 5 dollars plus another 5% of 5 dollars. So $5.25.

that’s some crazy thinking there

Cash back of 2% plus is day in day out the best way to go. I use statement credit.

Wouldn’t it basically be the same thing? If you get a statement credit, that’s $5 less you need to spend to pay off that balance. As a result, $5 more to spend and get the same $5.25?
