Let's get a list going. Like with a Target debit card you can get $40 cash back and it takes 1 to 2 days to be withdraw from your checking.

Sorry, I didn't say that clearly. What I mean is you have to remember to use the damn HSA card when you go to buy Tylenol instead of your normal payment method. This is...where I tend to fail lol

If you save the receipt you can send it in to your HSA provider and have the expense reimbursed from your HSA. You can do this for many many years after the actual purchase date

It's also good to not use it, if you can afford to keep it and spend normally. HSA space is extremely limited, because it's by far the best retirement account available. FSAs are fantastic for spending, as they don't have as many restrictions and don't carry over year over year.
