2016 was pretty successful, but it's time for a new thread.

The work waddle incentive program rolled 10% of my points forward, which automatically bumped me up two status levels, and I'm already sitting on $43 in Amazon.

Stay tuned...

Maybe we should merge the dumpster dive thread with this one? lol

Ugh, the work waddle programs.  My employer gives out hundreds each year to people who pledge to stop smoking.  You can only get it if you are listed on your insurance as a smoker (there are valid reasons to NOT do this) and none of the people who get it ever actually quit.  But the still get the money.  It's basically a reward program for smoking and lying that costs the rest of us even more money on top of the hits to the cost pool they're already giving us.

People with families get 3 extra "family illness" days off at my company. But I don't ---smurfette--- about it, I just enjoy not having crumb catchers to pay for. Enjoy your non-diseased lungs and quit worrying about others.

That smoker thing, ugh.  Thanks to a data entry error, I had insurance pop up that I was a smoker and spent months fighting it (it did something ridiculous like double my monthly premium).  What amazes me is that the questionnaires don't take frequency and length of smoking into consideration - it's a "have you ever" situation.  (and I answered no anyway)

Granted, I probably managed to go through one carton's worth of Marlboro Reds in college and haven't touched the things in 20 years, but I get to lie to doctors the rest of my life about it cause if that ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- shows up on my medical record again, break out the wallet and prepare to take blood tests if you want to argue it.
