It is actually the first I've heard of it, but apparently it is popular. 27% of employers used it in 2015 and they expect it to double by the end of 2017.

Popular only because their employees cooperate. There's zero incentive to tell the truth.

Other than the insurance being voided if there is a major charge and you're stuck with the bill.

Depending on the way the insurance operates, it may be cheaper for couples to keep their insurance separate in the first place. For instance, let's say my cost for individual insurance with my employer is $45 bi-weekly. To add my spouse, I have to choose the family plan, which is $130 bi weekly. If my spouse was working else where and her individual care was anything less than $85 bi weekly, we wouldn't have any reason to add her to my plan.

There are a shite ton of people who do not understand how their benefits work and these type of policies could actually help them.

For all the crap Wells fargo gets they basically give me 60 bucks a month. Every time you use your debit card they give you a dollar. i use mine alot and i get about 60 bucks a month deposited into my account. thats like an extra 700 a year. cant complain about that.


I'm almost 100% positive you've got it wrong. They transfer $1 of your own money into your connected savings account, but they're not giving you $1 for each debit ard use.

So this person thinks Wells Fargo is giving everyone $1 every time they use their debit card? So if I use Wells Fargo I could go make several purchases a day, for items less than $1 and each purchase I make for less than $1, Wells Fargo will give me $1? Sign me the frick up.

Florists and the cost of weddings in general.

That's a good one. I bet florist in small towns make a killing. If they are the only show in town, there are funerals all the time and that's on top of valentine's day, weddings, etc..
