I'm playing the arbitrage game TexasProud alludes to. Year to date I have earned $4,867.06. This has cost me $75 in bank fees as well as probably dozens of hours applying for the cards, making the required purchases, tracking and redeeming the bonuses, and making sure I make my monthly payments on time. But that's time I would probably waste on financial sites anyway, so I consider it a paid hobby. I hope to double that amount next year.

You do have to be very organized, though. One slip can cost a bunch.
