I wanted to pay my credit card bill (yup, slowly paying it off) but couldn't find the bill itself, so called their 800-number to ask. I know that normally when you call, they try to sell you a bunch of annoying things like "protection" programs (which I never join), but I actually got a cool lady on the phone who was down to earth, and she ended up telling me that I'd accumulated money from their "Cash Back" program... which I didn't even know I'd been a part of! Anyway, she asked if I'd like it mailed out, or if I want to keep the amount there for now. Hey, mail it! So they're sending me a check for something like $78... not so bad considering I was not expecting it! (And yes, I know with their horrid fees that's the least they should do, but I was still surprised.)
That also made me wonder if my other credit card had something like that; I called and they said I can accumulate points but nothing like the cash back thing; so no such luck there, but.... it's worth at least asking if you've accumulated cash... I had no idea!
