I use my credit cards for miles/points and we use one card to make ALL our purchases. After much discipline this card is paid off at the end of the month. Well in a year and half we have racked $2100 dollars worth of miles. I just purchased 4 round trip tickets to Jamaica for $2236. Not bad... now to pay for the hotel. A different way to save.
That's amazing! Great job.
I don't think we have the level of discipline needed to achieve that without adding extra charges and not paying it off. Maybe if we had a goal to plan for we could do it. There is that Alaskan cruise I've been wanting to purchase........
I know that for us, it would probably work best to have the cash in hand, make the purchase on the card, then pay off credit card with already available cash. That might work. It adds an extra step to getting those credit points, but waiting for the bill at the end of the month would lead to trouble for us.
