Have a Costco credit card and receive $800- $1,000 rebate every year. Not quite an obsession.
You must be buying for a large business or going every day because a $800-$1000/yr rebate @2% rebate for Costco credit card means you spend $40,000/yr to $50,000/yr there. Even if you figure in 2% MORE for exec membership (not sure if they both can be stacked) that's $20-25,000/yr. That's a lot of chickens and toilet paper (or hyperbole) !!! That being said Well's Fargo credit card gives 2% on everything where Costco card gives 1% on everything except Costco so in the end I got rid of my Costco CC (and I hate CitiBank).
