Airmiles and FBAR

Post by GlobalCitizen »

Just wondering if things like a foreign airmiles program or store rewards card should be reported on FBAR? Or are they treated as property?

These are not financial accounts. And, as these companies will quickly remind you, all the points in loyalty programs remain their property anyways.
After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best
