I here RA has a good return policy.Fraud FSA contributions are lawfully earned, untaxed (and unreported) income. Seems to me if items purchased with FSA dollars are sold to obtain a non-health benefit, then a taxable gain is realized. Tax evasion (not "fraud") would occur if the gain is not reported.
Could you buy something that is expensive (I'm not sure what), at say a Wal-Mart, that qualifies. Then, return it without a receipt and get a gift card?

Yes. You can also print a fake receipt or use a friends receipt. All of those methods work, and they are all equally legal.
Whatever you do, be sure to use it. If you use it at a place with lots of CashBack rewards (fatwallet, other external, and internal) on stuff you don't need, at least you'll get the rewards back.
Last year I used extra on first aid kits, sunscreen, etc at drugstore.com and ended up using all the extra drugstore.com rebate for non-FSA drug-store type items once January rolled around.
uutxs said: I agree. But keep in mind that FSA eligible items is a moving target. 2011 replies might not all be valid for 2012. Yes, things change, but the majority stay the same....really, the old threads tell at least 95%.

you could go to lenscrafters, order a pair of high end frames, turn in receipts, return glasses within 30 days.
i'm guessing this will be flagged as unethical. im just throwing out ideas. you sound somewhat morally grey if you're asking about hotel expenses to visit doctors.
I had to drain mine this weekend, didnt end up having to use any of it this year. This is just the online list, I went to Walgreens and spent another 200.00 tonight on a few more items. I will still have close to 300 left...Last time I enroll in FSA.

Was any reason given? Does the invoice says SPF 50?
IIRC there is some kind of line drawn about sunscreen being OK but if it's a "lotion" containing sunscreen it's not eligible. That would exclude a lot of pricey skin care, although how the line is drawn seems to be at the discretion of the plan administrator since most of the eligible sunscreens are in a lotion base.
Glucosamine is definitely an fsa eligible expense. You do not need a prescription for it. If you have an FSA debit card, all you have to do is pay with it and there is no paperwork to submit! If for any reason your benefit provider declines that charge later, FSAstore.com has a 100% FSA eligible guarantee and will return your money.
