Are you a US resident who spends a lot of money on rideshares + food delivery/pickup? If so, consider the following:
Costco members can buy up to four Uber gift cards of $50 value every two weeks (that is, 2 packs of 2 $50 gift cards). Now, and I think typically, these sell at 20% off face value.
You can use them on rides, scooters, and Uber Eats.
According to o3-mini-high, this means it’s worth it if you spend $1625 / (5 - how much you value your marginal minute) per year on these services, if you get no other use out of the Costco membership. (If you do, this number goes down, of course.)
Hooray, you now have more money for donations, consumption, savings, or investment for a small time cost!
I was not paid by Costco or Uber to say this, I swear.

Costco membership costs $65/year.
It takes ~2 minutes per gift card all-in.
