GE will send you a bypass insert if you ask for one. I think they are intended for people who have a whole-home filter. Once you have that, you can peel off the RFID tag and stick it in the filter compartment and go back to buying non-RFID filters. On my fridge it lights up the "not-filtering" light, but that's okay by me. I replace the filter every 3 months.
