We just instituted a credit card FSA starting this new year. It rocks because you use it as a debit card and the vendor bills your account directly, so no claim forms, no faxing receipts. You save receipts to be used if there is a billing question at some point, but you don't have to futz with them. Suh-weet.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I'll be busier in 3 months than I am today. But it's good to know that I can still search for the missing receipts and still get paid.
aw yeah aw yeah!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

With my small sample, they asked for the receipts both times. I'm not sure what pings the radar. I just kept stuff ready to fax whenever.

Apparently my dental receipts are going to be questioned. I am sending them in anyway. They only gave me the credit card receipt, there was nothing else. poop.

Why don't you ask them for a copy of the bills?

Dunno. I haven't had the card, but I think I prefer just sending the reciepts in. At least that way if I lose a receipt there's no mess about paying back or hunting for records. But I've never had a big problem with mine, maybe because my company is so tiny.
ION, I am home, dog is walked, lunch is heating, and nap is in the offing.
ETA: Yeah, at my dentist, I have to specifically ask them for the real receipt.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I think I had to fill out some form or something for the credit card. It def did not seem like, "here is a card, now go for it!" There was a lot of credit-card related paperwork that looked too complicated to figure out.*
And as you note it is pretty possible they'll ask for the receipts anyway.

Oh. Must be a quite different plan from mine. A card just showed up for me without me knowing it was coming. I don't use it to get around receipts -- I use it to get around spending money. So it's definitely worth it for me.

In my head the process goes
Mine too. And I've never actually sent food back that wasn't bleeding.
I've been sending in my FSA stuff all year, so I never have to keep a receipt longer than it takes me to accumulate 3 or 4, which is my vague notion of being enough to make it worth filling out a form for.
