Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
We have (as most here probably do) the full amount automatically paid from our checking account each month. We would have to go out of our way to "let it slide."
I don't do autopay. I like to see what I've charged, so I have all my CCs set up with due dates somewhere around the 20th of each month. I have a reminder that pops up on my laptop in the first week of each month to pay the cards. I haven't missed a payment in pretty much forever.
I've noticed while traveling in greater Chicagoland that some filling stations have different fuel prices for cash and credit. Whether the difference matches the reward my card offers, I'm not sure.
In the places I've seen the cash price is usually 5 cents/gal cheaper, which only works out to around 2%. I can usually beat or equal that with the appropriate cashback card. And I don't have to go inside to pay.
