Call me cynical but is it possible that even Clark Howard, who I admire, is influenced by the affiliate fee that most credit cards offer if someone signs up using their link? Edit to add this from Clark Howard's ad disclosure policy on his website. "We do however make money from links and offers from some companies and deals on our sites." And: "Clark does not include the entire universe of available credit or financial offers on our sites." He does say that: "While this helps us pay the bills, the trust that you have in us is our number one priority and always will be." Last edited by Toymeister; 01-03-2019 at 08:16 AM.

We put everything on our SouthWest credit card to get travel points. We fly back and forth between Orlando and Bradley airport with our points at least three times per year.

There might be special value for this type of card depending upon your situation. Cash is universal, so I prefer cash back cards. What Are Points Miles Worth? January 2018 Monthly Valuations |

The issue with Discover or many similar cards is the 5% Cash Back is from a limited field of choices and it changes every month or quarter. Example for Discover: Grocery Stores from 1/1/19 to 3/31/19, on up to $1,500, Gas Stations Uber and Lyft April to June, and so on.
Some people make out very well keeping a variety of cards and using them for different classes of purchases each quarter. But a limited field of high cash back classes for a limited amount (cap) is not a flat rate cash back credit card. Nerd Wallet is like any other credit card rater, from their site: "So how do we make money? Our partners compensate us." |

Wife and I always walk when we play golf.
Always used course pull cart at $1 each. Purchased two carts at Marion Market $24 the pair. Still have them, and use them, and now about $300 in front. We spend a lot to stay here each year, flights, house and car rental etc. but I get a real kick out of saving those two bucks a round. It's the little things in life that put the icing on the cake!!!! |

Re: Credit card rebates
Quote:
My friend pointed out that due to rebates few people pay CASH. Also,the credit card fees that the retailer pays to the credit card companies if, I recall are like fifty cents per transaction plus 2% of the gross amount. Simple explanation why large stores such as Wallmart, Home Depo, Lowes all offer incentives for you to open an account with them and extra discounts if you use their card. The stores must take credit cards because WE insist on using them. Due to contracts that the credit cards have the power to impose due to our insisting stores take them, stores cannot offer a lower CASH price and current contracts prevent the old system of minimum dollar amount of a sale to use a credit card. Using a credit card to purchase in many cases gives the buyer additional power. You can dispute a charge-withhold payment-due to an issue without damaging your credit. You can change your mind on the purchase within 24 hours by using a credit card with no penalty. I used the above power once in my life. Dispute with the moving company that took us to the villages. The dispute was for about $1500 bucks. Took months on withholding payment. In the end I WON. |

You should try doubling it every week - after six months you'd have $67,108,863 and you could pay for us all to go on a cruise with you

To save money, I dumpster-dive behind City Fire and Red Sauce.
No, not for the used food...that would be gross. It's to hunt the rats that show up...so that I can BBQ them later. |

Do your own housecleaning instead of spending money at the gym. Ditto ...do your own bush trimming and weeding. Don't buy expensive cuts of meat at the grocery. (First learn to cook). NO not by going to Spain and taking a course, by immersing yourself into Betty Crocker's Cook book.
If an able bodied person rises early and works hard, sooner or later the odds are he will be rich. At the very worst she will be in a better place than he/she was before.

Refusing to eat leftovers is such a wasteful habit.
They can (especially curries and chillies) taste better than the "original". Time and energy is saved by cooking up a large batch and putting some aside - either in the fridge for the next day, or the freezer for much later. |
