May not be much, but on top of the rebates, it's 'free money' - why not take it? Credit card gets used for everything that it can.

We also use credit cards for everything, for the same reasons. Also makes tracking spending easier for us. Have to have a little cash for those times when credit cards are not accepted and those expenses never seem to get accounted for.
Only use two cards routinely (Sams Club still requires Discover), but all of our credit cards have a cash back bonus - don't value those airline miles...too many planes and hotels while I was working.
