It’s not just a few bucks. If you put all your yearly expenses on the right credit cards you are talking more like thousands of bucks. Why not make money off the banks instead of the banks making money off of you. It’s not hard to make the switch. Plus it’s rather convenient for paying bills. Set up everything on auto pay and pay the credit card bill each month and watch your points add up. I’m constantly give my wife and daughter $100 gas gift cards that cash in for points. That’s mostly what I get with my points is BP gas station gift cards. But you can get gift cards for everything you can possibly imagine. Restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations, retail stores, it’s endless. If you are responsible with your credit and pay your cards every month why wouldn’t you take the money from the bank. It’s like playing monopoly and drawing the bank error in your favor card.
