You immediately become immortal.

And the mysterious figure who gives you immortality instructs you that forever every year you remain immortal you will be given $100. And then immediately whatever you choose, you’ll be reverted back in time to when you obtained immortality, no memory of the experience, but all the money is in your bank account. How many years are you gonna do it for, and what would you do with the money afterword?

If you aren’t going to age, well eventually you’d become a global celebrity. Imagine being the only 200 year old alive, and having all of your youth.

Someone 500 years old though? With all the physical prowess of youth? All the time in the world to get college degrees? Lived through every major historical event? Eventually you’d be the most qualifed person out there to be the leader of your nation.

Can’t say I’d wantto go back unless society collapsed.

You’d be able to earn a hell of a lot more than $100 a year either way. Society probably WILL collapse before you’re able to amass much money this way anyway
