I think so, only thing they said you can’t buy is dr-gs and g-ns. Even if you have grocery receipts from the past few months, stack them all and make sure you use up the whole $1000. It’s not pretaxed so you’ll be reimbursed about $700.

JFC people are spending way too many brain cells on this. Wellbeing has been very open ended, more now than ever. Last year they basically said "we don't care". People are expensing Legos, washing machines, car payments, mortgage payments. Just find some random expense on your credit card and submit it. No one is checking why you're buying a canoe when you live in the desert.

Don't be like those people that overthought it and waited until the literal last hour only to find their expenses rejected, then yelled in Slack for people to have pity on them.

A lot of people I know they turn that into actual cash. Order stuff, expense and then sent items back and get refund.

Last year I bought clothes for my kids. Yes, $1000 worth of clothes. Approved instantly, no problem. So yes try it and see if they approve it.

It can be used for quite literally anything except dr-gs & we-pons or obvious illegal items. I have heard the most random things being approved from team members without question. Snare drum, patio furniture, family portraits, groceries, manicures etc. I am curious though if we could purchase a gift card to use at a later date. Haven’t heard anyone doing that yet. Like 250$ on a grocery store gift card to supplement my food stamps when I eventually go broke and move under the bridge where all the other poor trolls live.

Use it for anything, just select cash as the reason.
