I get 2% back paying my insurance bills using a credit card. Discover every quarter has a 5% reward on revolving categories. Some cards offer a bonus of hundreds for using a new card.

I get the use my money for a longer time. As opposed to many debit charges on my bank statements I just have a few payments to the credit card companies.

Because I use my cards for business and pleasure I get back more than a $1,500 a year in rebates.

So somebody get my number. One call and I get credit for these charges and a new card sent to me.

To each their own.
Wow, with all freebies giveaways I’m surprised CC companies can stay in business, nothing in free, their getting paid somehow.
