Was well worth it to net $700+ and now my wife will do the same. We have had well over 200 credit cards in the last 15 years 95% of which we have canceled, never paid a penny of interest, netted many thousands of $$$$ and our Fico scores are still in the mid 800's. There is a whole "industry" devoted to doing this.
My "everyday" goto card is the 2% Citi Bank double cash (no fee).
Chase rarely will waive a fee these days but if you are getting only 1% and paying a fee, dump it, you can do a LOT better.

According to the Sumter County website, the fee to pay by credit card is 2.5 percent, not 2 percent.
