  • People prefer cards over carrying cash though, and you have to kinda work to collect the cashback. Most don’t bother, which is why the system is profitable overall.

    Honestly I think you’re better off extracting money from a large corporation you don’t like (if you can, it’s obviously difficult) compared to ignoring them.

    For example, if you really hate a company, flood their sales line with nonsensical calls. It’ll usually be a domestic agent for the sales line, and in Australia at least the average cost to answer a call fully loaded, charged by a call centre management company, is around $30AUD. You also increase demand for low paid workers. If you could figure out a way to do this en-masse for a company without annoying the individual agent, you could do some serious financial damage in a way that’s probably legal.

    Edit: If I hated a company, and I had a lonely/senile relative, I would give them a special phone where every button on the phone called the sales line. That way the elderly relative gets a chat and keeps their brain active, and you get to cost the company hundreds of dollars a day. The sales agent is also unlikely to be bothered by an occasional chat with a senile person to break up their day.
