Rewards

Thanks for all the feedback, looks like I have a few to check into that I don't currently utilize.

We've used Citibank Master Card for years. We've paid it off monthly for the 17 years we've been married. The points are real nice and accepted on Amazon. Credit card points have paid for LOTS of archery and hunting stuff over the years.

We accumulate Brookshire's points for cheap diesel too.

We use three different credit cards. One for everyday expenses and all of our requiring bills such as utilities, one for travel and one for online purchases. Right now I have about $700 in reward dollars and enough Hyatt points for three nights stay. Just pay them off every month and it's like getting a 5% discount on everything.

I haven't had a credit card in 31 yrs. I find it silly to go in debt $100 just to get 5 in reward points.

Seems like a self control issue. Dave Ramsey would love you..props on that

Only put on it what you can pay off and its free points

I have done major credit cards for airline miles/points. I dont have crazy spending like some folks on here and the signup points were the reason I signed up for them. The fiance and I signed up for 6-7 cards each and cashed out 500,000 points/miles in 2012 for a "round the world trip". We set out to South Africa for a friends wedding. Flew first class from San Francisco to Hong Kong, South Africa to Barcelona, London to New York. We paid for flights inbetween.

I use the bass pro shop credit card for most everything. By paying it off every month I don't get any charges and I end up with around $900 per year in points. My wife is wanting to change to the Costco card since it pays more points but I told her to wait until I can get a foxpro.

Wife and I use Southwest and haven't paid for a flight in a long time. Just flew to Tampa this past weekend for my brother's wedding.

Awesome.

I just ordered today on Amazon almost $400.00 in LED Light bars and wiring along with some other accessories... total outlay $0.00... I use American Express for all my business purchases, personal purchases and I get rewards points for it. American Express is really NOT a credit card since you pay it off 100% each month. The points add up quickly too if you use it a lot as I do. I bought a Leupold Mark 4 LT scope and mounts for my AR-10, my first PCP air gun/pump/pellets, a winch and mounting hardware for my 4 wheeler, an Excalibur Matrix X-bow and accessories and a bunch of other things in the past couple years all for exactly $0.00 outlay... I generally use my AmEx bonus points for things (usually big boy toys) that I'd never spend real money on... Kind of a little extra bonus for expenses I have anyway... I get 3X bonus points for all fuel purchases, and I buy the large majority of my fuel at Kroger and have their card too, so I get a double dip on points there.

I cancelled my BPS card when they signed up with Bank of America... I don't do BofA...

I have used the Capital One for years. Been good to me so far.

[manwitaplan]

I have the southwest card for all airlines and the Marriott card for all hotels and rentals and food.

Love my Chase Freedom. Next quarter is 5% back on Fuel. I rack up the rewards during that quarter.

Cant beat Kroger's fuel points

amex here - my bags always fly free and I have 275,000 points to use. Upgraded to the Platinum card and they gave me an extra 100,000 points for free.
