I find it hard to believe that what folks think they are getting from credit cards for "free" Is true. They are in business to make money, so how are they giving you more free stuff than the profit they made from you?

They would soon be broke if you got more than you gave, not?

Consider the likelihood that MANY, if not MOST people carry an outstanding balance on the credit cards. They may not have much "room" on their card to charge more every month. It is very likely that the issuing bank is making a lot more in interest than they are 'paying' in cash back programs. So in the aggregate, the bank can easily afford to offer those types of rebates.

I can see that.

In other words, the ones posting here are saying they prosper from the ones who hold the same card with an outstanding balance?

Correct. The responsible ones are benefiting at the expense of the irresponsible ones.

ZACKLY !!

Will places that wont take cash accept debit/bank cards?

If you die owing a million dollars do you die a millionaire?

Found some gas stations that take anything but a credit card, and that also means no debit cards, but then found one that wouldn’t take anything but cash. I would say its free choice of the business and your free choice to not do business with them. I use credit cards as much as possible for fraud protection compared to checks or debit cards, I carry cash just for emergencies.

A good ole guy at church had a brother die in Arizona and he flew out there for the funeral. Some body else got his ticket but when he got to airport he had extra luggage, I think he said $35 worth. Well he don't have a credit card to his name so he went to pay in cash but they said they couldn't take cash, he started getting ill with them and they called a higher up. Long story short they waived the fee on the luggage cause they could't take cash and things was about to become a scene.

Anything but a credit card. You mean cash only?

No forgot the word wont,”they wont take anything but a credit card”, sometimes my fingers cant keep up with my mind.

As long as a society has an evil force referred to as taxes there will always be the use of cash.

ps cash is king!

That is bull s*** they wouldn't take it. it is money they need to accept it.

Cash is king when the tax man does not get his 25 percent plus. This only applies to immoral people that avoid taxes. Too bad nobody on here avoids taxes.

Who would actually do such a thing? Just terrible.
