I agree, however I pay several bills with my card and then just write one check at the end of the month instead of several. I try to never carry a balance and it has only happened a couple of times in the last decade, but it gets taken care of the next month

Discover for me never any troubles. i spend anywhere from 500 to a thousand dollars every other day on fuel . shure dont try to keep that much cash or checks on me logging. I also like it for buying parts online ,most big orders i can place, and two minutes later get a call from Discover verifying the purchases .( I do like that. )

What is a firearms supporting CC? And that also supports the oil industry. I have an AK. Air card but BoA is one that won’t support lending to the oil producers.

CC's aren't bad, it's the person who uses them who needs to exercise some self control.
How do you rent a car, or do a lot of other things without a CC?
And no, debit cards are not an acceptable alternative; thieves can drain your savings account via a debit card.
Debit cards are an invention of the banks to increase their revenue and make things easier for them.

I do lots of flying for work and hunting trips. I have one of the American Airlines cards through Citi. I put all of my fuel and food on it and pay it off each month. It builds up points like crazy. It is rare that I have to pay for a plane ticket anymore


Gotta live up to the nickname...

Citi double cash back card. 2% cash back on all purchases. I have a wallet full of cards, I never carry any balance, and I pay for everything I buy with them. Rewards can add up more than you would think. I get at least 1k cash back every year. Can't beat free money. 2% on everything is the best I have seen, if you are like me and don't care to spend time deciding which card to use for which purpose, the double cash back card is the best imo.

We have two cards, a Discover and a Wells fargo Visa. We use them for almost everything we buy and pay them off every month so we never incur an interest charge. We never use a debit card as we've had too many instances of being hacked and it's much easier to close the credit card. We also follow a budget and rarely have much for unplanned expenses which helps keep the balances in check. Discover has quarterly 5% cash back up to $1500 on certain places you shop (last quarter was gas stations, easily made that with the price of diesel fuel/ gas). Our Wells Fargo Visa has a 2% cash back with no cap. Once the rewards get high enough we usually use that money to pay for something that we need but didn't budget for, for example a new pair of work boots, etc.

I got a bank of America card. They gave me 2 or 3 hundred dollars to sign up for it. I get 2% cash back on everything I buy and 3% back at certain retailers of my choosing. For example I put a house with attached garage and then built a separate garage last year. I chose the "hardware" category and got 3% back on everything I bought from lumber yards to hardware stores. I'm done building now, gas is high I switch to the gas category and get 3% back on all gas station purchases 2% on everything else. There are other categories as well like travel and groceries. Can't remember them all. The cash back adds up. I just use it to pay on the balance every month. I use the card a lot however I pay it off every week if not sooner

Capital One Spark Card & Wells Fargo have good cards with 2% Cash Back, I use one for business and one for personal. All good as long as you pay balance every month. These days you can set up and auto pay and not worry about late fees. Of coarse you have to make sure the cash is there all the time.

So I use credit cards extensively. I have them set up so the balance is paid off automatically every statement. I use them for business and personal use. I try to put everything on a rewards card. I use one for travel rewards, a Cabelas card, and a Chase Freedom, with which I usually take my rewards in Amazon gift cards. Chase Freedom also has Bass Pro gift cards, Home Depot and a boatload of other businesses’ gift cards.

I really like my Chase Freedom card and the customer service has always been excellent for me. You could check them out.

I have an alaska airlines card and a gm rewards card.
I max out the rewards on the gm card then use the Alaska card the rest of the year.
You get a $99 dollar airline ticket each year. Some free bagage and miles rewards.
We go every year to alaska so it works out great.
