yah, definitely look into getting cards that give you points. i use a united milage card and i have enough to go to japan first class, or 4 of us in business.

they also have a gift catalog you can buy stuff from using your points. i can also book hotels etc.

then the amazon card, i just use it and use the points to make free purchases. like i have a new track ball coming to me this week along with a few balls for my kids. i spent $0.

I have a Bank of America World Platinum Mastercard with points for everything I buy with a 9% fixed interest rate. Look into it, its a great card, never had an issue.

Ohh, you can use those points to get cash back, or several other lovely options. I happen to prefer the cash back. They also run triple points for buying certain things like gas.

American Express FTW. We use it for literally every transaction except where it's not accepted. I'm swimming in a bed of points like Indecent Proposal.

Just have to pay it off every month

When I bought my first macbook, I knew I was gonna get double points using my mastercard, so with a zero balance that I had, I made several deposits on my credit card so when I finally bought it, I pretty much zero'd out the balance AND received my points.

Def. gas would be my biggest purchase each month.

If it's just gas, etc. I can see paying it off every month, but if it's a big purchase (say exhaust + HFCs) I pay that off over a few months. Sure, there's a few bucks interest, but it's easier on the wallet.
