Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I use CC's for just about all purchases I make but rarely use any debit cards...Certainly for anything over ~$50. It makes on line purchasing super easy and I get 1.5% cash back on everything I buy. To me that's free money and it's a better return rate than I can get on CD's now .
I never pay any annual fees for my CC's and I also pay off the balance each month so there's no interest to pay... Everything is done on-line so I don't even need to buy stamps.
Another plus, when I buy something off Amazon they "ask" if I'd like to just use the points/credits on the CC that I last used with them.... Almost like getting "things" for free. When I first saw this happening I wasn't sure I liked the idea that Amazon knows that much about my CC accounts. Then I realized, that's probably insignificant compared to what they really know and can do...
