re: Paying Bills with Credit Card to accrue points

I put everything I can on my credit card. Just pay it off every month and you're good to go. You have to watch out to see if CC fees are added. For example, my kids daycare charges a 2.5% fee if using a credit card to pay, but if I'm only getting 2% back, then there's no point.

I also do this at work. I pay every vendor I can with a card as long as they acceot them and don't charge fees. 2% of 60% of my payables is good chunk of change, and I get it back tax free.
