>Amazon bucks are the closest thing to cash.

Although, generally speaking, Amazon and other general purpose large retailers (Walmart, Home Depot) have figured that out. When I get rewards points of some sort with an option to convert to various gift cards, the best deal is always with the specialty retailers but then you need to make a point of using the card for something you really want/need as opposed to just adding some dollars to your Amazon account.

Oh, you don't have to tell me, I have made several hundred dollars on these deals - I only do money makers (where the cash back is more than the cost of the subscription). Plus one of my friends can always use the subscription stuff and are thrilled to get the items if it's not something I'd use. (Such as makeup & dog toys). I've always had the correct payout. I have a browser that I solely use for cash back websites.

I usually find out about these deals on https://www.doctorofcredit.com/ which is run by what seems like fantastic, non-scammy, people and its the only credit card blog that I know of that's independent. The rest shill for referrals.
